In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the player controls Banjo and Kazooie, exploring multiple non-linear worlds and obtaining collectibles like Jiggies and Musical Notes in order to advance in Gruntilda's Lair. The game introduced many new features to the genre, such as the ability to learn new moves and transform Banjo into different forms. The items scattered throughout the worlds each have different functions: the Jiggies allow Banjo and Kazooie to open new levels in Gruntilda's Lair by completing [[Jigsaw Picture]]s, the Musical Notes allow them to open [[Note Door]]s, the [[Mumbo Token]]s allow them to request Mumbo Jumbo's help and become different forms, the [[Hollow Honeycomb|Extra Honeycomb Piece]]s extend the duo's [[health bar]], the the [[Blue Egg]]s serve as ammo for Kazooie to shoot either from the front or behind, the [[Red Feather]]s allow them to fly and use the [[Beak Bomb]] move and the [[Golden Feather]]s allow them to use the [[Wonderwing]] move. Many other items can also be obtained but their only purpose is to be delivered to a character for a Jiggy. Kazooie can also wear [[Turbo Trainers]], speed-boosting shoes, and [[Wading Boots]], hazard-protecting boots, after learning how to with Bottles. | In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the player controls Banjo and Kazooie, exploring multiple non-linear worlds and obtaining collectibles like Jiggies and Musical Notes in order to advance in Gruntilda's Lair.
