Banjo incidentally made his first appearance in ''Diddy Kong Racing''. When [[Wizpig]] invaded [[Timber's Island]], [[Timber]] calls for [[Diddy Kong]]'s assistance. In turn, he sends [[Squawks]] to contact his friends, one of whom is Banjo. All the characters compete in a variety of racing challenges to liberate the island and decide who would race Wizpig. Eventually, the eight racers, with the help of [[Taj]] and [[T.T.]], drove Wizpig back to his home planet, [[Future Fun Land]]. However, Wizpig returns, and the racers go to his homeworld. At the end of the world, the winning character races Wizpig again, who rides on a rocket missile for the rematch. On the character selection screen, Banjo's theme instrument is the banjo. The menu's theme is re-composed in a banjo when the player highlights him. Like the other characters, Banjo says his name when he is selected. As a heavyweight racer, Banjo has slow acceleration, which is compensated for a high top speed (57 MPH without [[Banana]]s). His handling is below average but still exceeds [[Krunch]]'s. | |||

Since Microsoft had direct ownership over Banjo and Conker, both of them do not appear in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Instead, they were replaced with [[Tiny Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]], respectively. Despite this, Banjo's theme instrument was left intact, and it plays both on the character selection and the game's introduction sequence. Banjo's statistics were also retained for Tiny Kong, who was likely redesigned for Banjo's heavyweight feature. | Since Microsoft had direct ownership over Banjo and Conker, both of them do not appear in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''.

Ultimate#Hero|heroes]] of ''Dragon Quest'', were announced as playable fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' during the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct on June 11 (PDT). Banjo & Kazooie were released on September 4, 2019 (PDT) as part of Challenger Pack 3. The duo's moveset and appearances are directly pulled from their first two games, ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Tooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'', though they also sport a few original attacks. [[smashwiki:Spiral Mountain|Spiral Mountain]], the location of their home, serves as the representation for their stage. Regarding weight, Banjo & Kazooie are collectively a heavyweight, being heavier than [[smashwiki:Link (SSBU)|Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[smashwiki:Captain Falcon (SSBU)|Captain Falcon]], [[smashwiki:Mii|Mii Gunner]], and [[smashwiki:Min Min (SSBU)|Min Min]], but lighter than Wario, [[smashwiki:Ike (SSBU)|Ike]], [[smashwiki:Ridley (SSBU)|Ridley]], [[smashwiki:Simon (SSBU)|Simon]], and [[smashwiki:Richter (SSBU)|Richter]], while having the same weight as [[Solid Snake|Snake]] and [[R.O.B.]] | ||
The reveal trailer for the duo heavily references [[King K. Rool]]'s original reveal trailer, with [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and King K. Rool looking outside the window of DK's tree house and seeing a silhouette of Banjo & Kazooie. It is then revealed to be [[Duck Hunt (character)|Duck Hunt]] playing a prank, much like how the K. Rool reveal trailer had [[King Dedede]] pretending to be King K. Rool. Banjo & Kazooie then appear from the sky and knock Duck Hunt out of frame, with Banjo holding his namesake instrument. | The reveal trailer for the duo heavily references [[King K.

Prior to Banjo's inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', he and Kazooie were among the most requested ''Super Smash Bros.'' characters of all time.
