Not to be confused with Spell.

Transformations are a specific type of spell that change Banjo and/or Kazooie into another type of species or object. Since their debut in Banjo-Kazooie, transformations have also appeared in Banjo-Tooie and Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge. Transformations are usually done by Mumbo Jumbo, although in Banjo-Tooie, they are handled by Humba Wumba instead. Transformations serve various and specific purposes, such as the ability to access certain areas or to talk to certain characters.

History

Banjo-Kazooie

In Banjo-Kazooie, all transformations are invulnerable to hazardous terrain, can all fit in small spaces, and can all climb slopes too steep for even the Talon Trot. Most transformations cannot attack, and most of them can walk underwater with no need for air. Transformations cost Mumbo Tokens to unlock and cannot travel very far outside of a world's entrance before the spell must be undone.

Banjo-Tooie

In Banjo-Tooie, transformations cannot exit their host world (with the exception of the Stony, which can enter Hailfire Peaks, and Dragon Kazooie, which can enter any world). Each of them are able to defend themselves (except the baby T-Rex), and many of them can attack. The transformations have varying amounts of health, which, in most cases, is also affected by the amount of energy segments you gained from Honey B.

Each world has a certain spell that can be performed by using Mumbo Pads. Some spells can be used only once, while others can be used as many times as necessary.

Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge

In Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, transformations are once again handled by Mumbo Jumbo and require Mumbo Totems to use. Similar to Banjo-Tooie, most transformations have the ability to attack. Unlike the Nintendo 64 games, any transformation is usable in any of the worlds as long as it has been unlocked in its initial world.
