In the duo's reveal trailer, a Jiggy bounces across the floor as [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[King K. Rool]] are lounging in [[DK's Tree House|Donkey Kong's tree house]], causing them to look outside the window and seeing a silhouette of Banjo & Kazooie. It is then revealed to be [[Duck Hunt (character)|Duck Hunt]] playing a prank, in the same manner as [[King Dedede]] pretending to be K. Rool in the latter's reveal trailer. Banjo & Kazooie then appear from the sky, knocking Duck Hunt out of frame, with Kazooie holding her namesake instrument, the kazoo. Kazooie and Banjo appear in [[Sephiroth]]'s reveal trailer, and are shocked to see him descend from the sky.

Banjo & Kazooie's moveset and appearances are directly pulled from their two Nintendo 64 titles, ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''{{wp|Banjo-Tooie}}'', though they also sport a few original attacks. [[Spiral Mountain]], the location of their home, serves as the representation for their stage. Regarding weight, Banjo & Kazooie are a heavyweight fighter, being heavier than [[Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Mii Gunner]], but lighter than [[Wario]], [[Ike]], [[Ridley]], [[Simon Belmont|Simon]], and [[Richter Belmont|Richter]], while having the same weight as [[Solid Snake|Snake]] and [[R.O.B.]].
