Jamjar's Rhymes

Every time Jamjars teaches Banjo and Kazooie a new move in Banjo-Tooie, he will have a military sing-song-style rhyme to go with it.

Jamjars tends to "pronounce" certain buttons in a different way than players might, making some of the rhymes unintuitive at first glance:

  • Z Button is pronounced "zed", not "zee", as Rare is based in the United Kingdom.
  • The C-Buttons are somewhat inconsistent. Based on the rhymes, they are pronounced Camera up Button "Up C", Camera left Button "Left C", Camera right Button "Right C", and Camera down Button "Down C". But based on the meter, sometimes the direction is left out and the button is only "C".

In the XLBA port, the controls are simply changed in-place, and no effort has been made to come up with proper rhymes for them.

  • No Kazooie means space in your pack, a way to fill it is what you lack! Pick large things up off the ground, in they go and carry 'em round! - Taxi Pack
