==Name origin== | |||
Kazooie's name, like Banjo's, is based on a musical instrument: the [[Wikipedia:Kazoo|kazoo]]. Incidentally, Kazooie herself is known to be an experienced kazoo player, although the only time Kazooie was ever seen playing her kazoo was during the introduction theme in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. Oddly enough, Kazooie's kazoo barely resembles an actual kazoo and looks more like a [[Wikipedia:Bugle (instrument)|bugle]]. Interestingly, whether coincidence or not, the term ''bugle'' is phonetically similar to ''breegull''. | |||

Kazooie has red-orange and yellow feathers, green eyes, long chicken like legs, and a sharp beak. There is a tuft of feathers on her head that sticks up. | Kazooie has red-orange and yellow feathers, green eyes, long chicken like legs, and a sharp beak.

==Personality== | ==Personality== | ||
In contrast to Banjo's personality, Kazooie is a wisecracking, obnoxious, sassy, cheeky, hot-tempered, slightly egotistic, tell-it-like-it-is loudmouth and "teen" bird, with Banjo sometimes having to scold her for being rude and tactless. This could be because almost everyone that she has met had insulted her in some way. [[Bottles]], for example, called her a 'strange friend' and asked Banjo if she could talk and Mumbo Jumbo called her the 'filthy feathered one'. This could also be why Banjo and Kazooie are such great friends since Banjo hardly ever insults anyone (and if he does he usually apologizes). In some cases, she also can express sarcasm, such as her interactions with [[Salty Joe]], where she claimed she and Banjo had to "fight their way" through a crowd of customers when there weren't any customers besides themselves present in response to his claim that he was a busy guy. | |||
Kazooie likes adventuring (something which Banjo doesn’t normally do) and saving the world while she hates boredom, Banjo's lack of an attitude and facing backwards. During screensaver mode in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Kazooie will suddenly poke her head out the backpack and peck at Banjo's head for the fun of it. In both Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo Tooie, half the time Banjo might get irritated by this and wring her by the neck, choking her momentarily without doing any damage. Obviously, this may resolve that Kazooie is a bit of a prankster. | |||
Despite Kazooie's foulmouthed rudeness, she never insults Banjo at all. Being best friends and both with different personalities, it's obvious that she respects him greatly and will stop insulting upon Banjo's words, proving her loyalty to him, however she insults everyone and always make trouble. She also seems to have a soft spot for children, such as calling [[Terry]] heartless after he told her she can kill fourth terrydactyl baby after Kazooie hatched it, or when she says "Cool, a little alien baby" when she meets [[Gamette]] on icy side of [[Hailfire Peaks]]. Despite all her flaws, Kazooie still has a good heart, always willing to help those in need (Provided that it has something to do with the adventure) and she has a strong sense of justice. She hates evil, like Gruntilda, and takes pleasure in defeating enemies. | |||

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Banjo and Kazooie's abilities were taken by [[L.O.G.]], who instead puts them on a journey of them constructing and driving vehicles. Kazooie stays in Banjo's backpack for the whole adventure. She carries a magical wrench, [[Mumbo's Wrench]], which she can smack [[Gruntbot]]s with, carry objects, and turn pipes. She also carries it in ''Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie''. | In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Banjo and Kazooie's abilities were taken by [[L.O.G.]], who instead puts them on a journey of them constructing and driving vehicles.

==Career== | |||
According to ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Kazooie was originally discovered by Banjo on [[Breegull Beach]] inside the blue backpack one day. For whatever reason, the two became friends at some point after that and Kazooie lived an annoyingly-quiet life with Banjo and his sister [[Tooty]] for an unknown period of time. | |||
[[Banjo-Kazooie|In 1998]], Kazooie finally convinced Banjo to go out on an adventure somewhere, although Banjo insisted on taking Tooty along as well. Kazooie got her wish when [[Gruntilda]] captured Tooty, forcing a rescue operation. Kazooie thoroughly enjoyed learning cool moves and witch-bashing, although having to deal with [[Bottles]], [[Mumbo Jumbo]] and Banjo's constant desire to help everyone was a constant pain in the butt to her. Eventually, Grunty was buried and Tooty saved. | |||
[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge|A few months afterward]], [[Klungo]] devised a plan for Grunty to escape her rock prison and go back in time, preventing Banjo and Kazooie from ever meeting. Kazooie was taken back in time by [[Mecha-Grunty]] in order to prevent her past self from meeting up with Banjo. Luckily, Banjo followed Grunty and, with help from Mumbo and [[Bozzeye|Bottles' ancestor]], rescued Kazooie. The two of them proceeded to beat Grunty and restore the timeline. | |||
Convinced that they had not seen the last of Gruntilda, Kazooie insisted that she and Banjo continue practicing their moves and refining their abilities. [[Banjo-Tooie|In 2000]], her instincts proved correct when Gruntilda's sisters [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]] rescued her and destroyed Banjo's House in the process, killing Bottles. Kazooie was instantly pumped to get off on another adventure and, while Bottles' brother [[Jamjars]] was every bit as annoying to her as Bottles himself was, she learned to [[Split-up|separate]] from Banjo and lay the hurt on the witch's minions herself. After defeating Grunty a second time and reviving everyone who died, the duo went into "rest mode" once more. | |||
Kazooie became available in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' on September 4th 2019 as the fourth DLC playable character (third in the Fighter Pass), alongside Banjo. | |||
