'''Washer Banjo''' is a recurring [[transformation]] in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series.

==Biography==
In Banjo-Kazooie, the transformation is simply supposed to be a joke. Mumbo might turn you into one by accident, but after a note of caution for you to stand still, he will turn you into the proper transformation.

By completing all of [[Bottles' Moving Picture Game|Bottles' Bonus Challenges]], you can unlock a cheat that will turn you into the washing machine. It has access to all of Banjo's moves, excluding [[Wading Boots]] (since it is naturally immune to terrain) and [[Running Shoes]]. While Mumbo is against the idea and claims he won't transform you while being a washing machine, he will still transform you (for free if you haven't paid yet!), but he'll turn you back into the washing machine.

For the most part, gameplay is unchanged as a washer, with the following exceptions:
In Banjo-Tooie, the Washer is the native transformation of Grunty Industries. Unlike the one in Banjo-Kazooie, this one has wheels, the largest energy bar in the game (up to eleven honeycombs) and doesn't look unhappy. The Washer can attack by firing old smelly underpants by pressing {{Z}} (aim with {{C-up}}), and it can help the Skivvy rabbits by washing their overalls. Underpants do the same damage as a [[Blue Egg]] but don't shoot straight. The Washer's immense weight also allows it to press a certain switch in the level (which has an electromagnet guarding it that Mumbo must disable first), but also impairs its jumping ability.

* However, Banjo can walk without harm on terrain that would normally require the Wading Boots, rendering them moot.
* He cannot collect items meant to be held temporarily, like [[Blubber's Treasure]].
* Reduced attack range

The washer is used in two Jiggies. The primary one involves the [[Skivvy|Skivvies]], whose clothes need to be washed. The washer is also needed to access [[Weldar]] (after Mumbo disables a nearby electromagnet), as the switch is so big that only the washer's weight can push it down.

Washer Banjo is a recurring transformation in the Banjo-Kazooie series.

BiographyEdit

Banjo-KazooieEdit

“Oops...spell went wrong. Mumbo's loincloth all dirty...you wash? Hur, hur, hur...”
Mumbo Jumbo

In Banjo-Kazooie, its first technical appearance, when Mumbo Jumbo attempts to transform at any Mumbo's Skull, there is a small chance that he will produce this instead of the correct transformation. He will then transform Banjo into the correct form.

However, it is possible to use Washer Banjo in gameplay by completing all of Bottles' Bonus Challenges. Banjo can then go to the Sandcastle and enter the cheat code "Wishy Washy Banjo," which Mumbo will object to.

For the most part, gameplay is unchanged as a washer, with the following exceptions:

Banjo-TooieEdit

In Banjo-Tooie, the Washer is the native transformation of Grunty Industries. As a washer, Banjo has one more Honeycomb than he and Kazooie together would have normally (max energy bar is 11). He also moves on wheels, making him about as fast as Kazooie in a Talon Trot. However, he has the weakest jump in the game, and his attack involves coughing underwear, which has the strength of a Blue Egg but moves in an arc. Also, under Grunty Industries company policy, he is considered "mechanical personnel" and can't use Warp Pads; to get around this, a service elevator is set up.

The washer is used in two Jiggies. The primary one involves the Skivvies, whose clothes need to be washed. The washer is also needed to access Weldar (after Mumbo disables a nearby electromagnet), as the switch is so big that only the washer's weight can push it down.

Nuts & BoltsEdit

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, there are some Washer Banjo exhibits in Banjoland.
