The '''Talon Trot''' is an ability learned from [[Bottles]] on [[Mumbo's Mountain]] in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and which carries over to ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. It is one of the earliest moves learned and also one of the most useful. Hold {{Z}} and press {{C-left}}, and [[Kazooie]] will stick her legs out of the backpack and carry [[Banjo]] around as long as {{Z}} is held. Not only does this allow the duo to move much faster, but the Talon Trot is needed to tackle slopes too steep for Banjo to walk up on his own (although some slopes are too steep even for the Talon Trot). In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', this move must be learned in order to proceed to the next area in [[Gruntilda's Lair]] after Mumbo's Mountain. In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Kazooie retains the Talon Trot's slope-climbing ability when [[Split-up|separated]] from Banjo.

At the end of the game, however, L.O.G. gives Kazooie her abilities back.
