Banjo is a brown, stocky honey bear with blue eyes, a large round nose and a bare chest. He is always shown wearing a pair of yellow shorts with a black belt, a shark tooth necklace and a blue backpack, even while under the spell of a transformation. The Rare logo appears on his backpack, as shown in various artworks.

In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', Banjo was redesigned to have a more block-shaped appearance, and his fur became animated. His backpack's design was also overhauled, now opening with a zipper across the top, and stitches to reflect age.

This design was worked on by [[Ryan Stevenson]], alongside [[Steve Mayles]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/Res_ART/status/1449783047143010305 Ryan Stevenson 🌿 on Twitter: "@Facts_About_BK It would be flattering to think I designed these versions of Banjo @Facts_About_BK but I can’t. I’ve only ever worked on the one version of Banjo & that was for Nuts & Bolts & with Banjo’s dad himself, Steve Mayles. As for the other games I was on 2d backgrounds." / Twitter]</ref>


In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Banjo was redesigned with a mix of his design from ''Banjo-Kazooie'', ''Banjo-Tooie'' and official artwork. His body is now back to a rounder appearance and his body ratio has been tweaked to make his head slightly smaller. His backpack now has red accents and a bottom flap, per concept and promotional artwork from those games, and is crested with a Rare logo pin. The design is meant to better fit Rare and Nintendo's original design used in ''Diddy Kong Racing''.
