==Gameplay==
The gameplay of ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'' largely differs from the previous games. As Banjo and Kazooie have forgotten their moves and the bird's wings have been "clipped", they need to use vehicles in order to complete challenges and win their prizes. Outside a vehicle, they can use the newly-acquired [[Mumbo's Wrench]] to lift objects up or attack enemies. They can also climb things and swim.

Inside a vehicle, Banjo has many more possibilities. He can build them inside [[Mumbo Jumbo]]'s garage in the Town Square of Showdown Town with parts acquired from [[Mumbo Crate]]s such as engines, wings, propellers, wheels, fuel, ammo and weapons among other things, making for a wide variety of possible creations to complete objectives in multiple different ways.
