'''Warp Pads''' are pads that were introduced in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. Warp Pads | '''Warp Pads''' are pads that were introduced in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. Warp Pads can teleport the player to any other previously-visited pad in the same world. | ||
Warp Pads | Warp Pads are blue with a swirling image. When the player finds and touches one, the pad changes from transparent to active. After finding at least two Warp Pads in a world, the player can use them by pressing {{B}} while standing on them, and choosing another active pad to warp to. | ||
== Worlds == | |||
There are usually five Warp Pads in a world, and tend to appear at the world's entrance, near [[Humba Wumba]]'s [[Wumba's Wigwam|wigwam]], and near [[Mumbo Jumbo]]'s [[Mumbo's Skull|skull]]. There are only three world to not have five Warp Pads: | |||
* [[Cloud Cuckooland]] and [[Cauldron Keep]] have ony two each. | |||
* [[Isle o' Hags]] has [[Silo]]s instead of Warp Pads. The main difference is that Silos never let in Mumbo Jumbo, and there are seven of them. | |||
Warp Pads reappear in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' as large golden pads only appearing in [[Showdown Town]] rather than in the worlds. Their function has not changed, but they can only be used while on vehicle. | |||
== Users and restrictions == | |||
When the pads are active, almost anyone can use them. This includes [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] (alone or together), Mumbo Jumbo, and nearly all of Wumba's transformations. | |||
* | * Mumbo's [[Golden Goliath]] ignores the pads. | ||
* The [[T-Rex Banjo|daddy T-Rex]] is too large to use the Warp Pads! | |||
* Because of a factory rule, [[Washer Banjo]] may not use the Warp Pads. The loudspeaker orders him to use the service elevator. | |||
Warp Pads tend to be optional; you almost always have the option to ignore them and walk the long way. However, ''Banjo-Tooie'' requires so much backtracking, and so many repeat visits to Mumbo's and Wumba's, that the Warp Pads provide a very important shortcut around annoyances and frustration. | |||
There are at least a few cases where the Warp Pads are truly necessary, and provide the only way to reach the [[Jiggy]]. | |||
* In [[Terrydactyland]], Banjo must use the [[Taxi Pack]] to carry the largest baby to [[Terry]]. Banjo has no way to climb the mountain, because he cannot use the [[Springy Step Shoes]], so Banjo must go the easy way by warping to the top. | |||
* In [[Grunty Industries]], the Warp Pads are the only way for Mumbo Jumbo to leave floor 3. Mumbo must warp because his [[Mumbo Pad]]s are on floors 2 and 4. | |||
* What else? | |||
World Entry | Warp Pads also enable a few other tricks. For example, to rescue the [[Jinjo]] at the entrance to Terrydactyland, one must first [[Grenade Eggs|grenade]] the switch on the pillar to open the cage. Then one can use the Springy Step Shoes to reach the Jinjo, but no shoes are nearby! The trick is to grab the shoes by Wumba's Wigwam, then warp (while wearing the shoes) from wigwam to 'World Entry and Exit', then step on the ramp in front of the cave and spring up to the Jinjo. This trick is quite optional, because the other ways are to fly there (after Terry grants the [[Flight Pad]]), [[glide]] there, or toss a [[Clockwork Kazooie Eggs|clockwork Kazooie]] up there. | ||
== Locations and icons == | |||
Icons are the character's faces which appear to the left of the names of the places you want to go through the warp pads. | |||
