| '''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, ''{{wp|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.

| The ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' reveal trailer for the duo was shown off during a Nintendo Direct on June 11th, 2019, releasing sometime in Fall 2019. The reveal trailer heavily references [[King K. 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''. This will be Kazooie's first appearance in a ''Mario''-series title.

| | |
| Their moveset and appearance is directly pulled from their two Nintendo 64 titles, ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''[[wikipedia:Banjo-Tooie|Banjo-Tooie]]''. [[Spiral Mountain]], the location of their home, will serve as the representation for their stage.
