Rool reveal trailer had [[King Dedede]] pretending to be King K. Rool. Banjo and Kazooie then appear from the sky, and knock Duck Hunt out of frame, with Banjo holding his signature instrument he is named after, the banjo.

This article is about a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this article may need major rewriting. This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.
Banjo-Kazooie refers to: the bear and bird duo of Banjo the bear and Kazooie the bird, the Banjo-Kazooie series of games they star in, and the first game in the series, Banjo-Kazooie for the Nintendo 64. The duo of Banjo and Kazooie are often seen together, and thus are commonly referred to together in hyphenation. As a playable duo, they appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as the third Fighter's Pass DLC character.
Banjo and Kazooie, as a franchise and as characters, are owned by Rare Ltd., a former second-party developer for Nintendo. In 2002, Rare was sold to Microsoft, and the rights of both Banjo and Conker were transferred to the company.

Rool's original reveal trailer, with Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and King K. Rool looking outside a tree house window and seeing a silhouette of Banjo-Kazooie. It is then revealed to be Duck Hunt playing a prank, much like the K. Rool reveal trailer had King Dedede pretending to be King K. Rool. Banjo and Kazooie then appear from the sky, and knock Duck Hunt out of frame, with Banjo holding his signature instrument he is named after, the banjo. The trailer references Banjo's heavy connection and roots to the Donkey Kong series as both were owned by Rareware (now called Rare Ltd.) in the 1990s, and Banjo's first appearance was in Diddy Kong Racing.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate marks their first appearance on a Nintendo system since 2005's Banjo-Pilot for the Game Boy Advance, and their first physical appearance in a new game since the Xbox 360 version of 2010's Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing.
