In a presentation following the September 2019 Nintendo Direct, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai detailed the game`s newest fighter: Banjo and Kazooie. The bird-and-bear pair, which are arriving in Ultimate today, bring with them a new stage, 10 music tracks, and a moveset that`s been faithfully adapted from the original Banjo games.Sakurai gave a full rundown of Banjo and Kazooie`s moves and some strategies associated with them. Highlights include their Down Special, a grenade egg that Kazooie can fire from behind (inspired by Banjo-Tooie`s egg selection); their sprint, which is a direct adaptation of the pair`s Talon Trot move, in which Kazooie comes out of the backpack to walk; and their Side Special, a Wonder Wing attack with limited uses per stock. Banjo and Kazooie`s Final Smash, the Final Jinjonator, is taken directly from the final boss fight in Banjo-Kazooie.Their new stage is Spiral Mountain as it was in Banjo-Kazooie, complete with honeycomb pieces, the intact entrance to Grunty`s Lair, and Banjo`s house in the background. The stage rotates around the top of Spiral Mountain, and platforms will appear periodically. You can also spot a number of character in the stage, including Bottles the mole, Banjo`s sister Tooty, the shaman Mumbo Jumbo, Jinjos, and Grunty herself. As for music, Ultimate is getting 10 Banjo-inspired tracks, seven of which are new arrangements. Grant Kirkhope, who composed music for the original Banjo games, contributed to the arrangements. They include a number of tracks from Banjo-Kazooie--Mumbo`s Mountain, Gobi`s Valley, and Treasure Trove Cove, for example--as well as mini-boss themes from Banjo-Tooie, including Vs. Klungo. Banjo and Kazooie will be available in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate from today. The bear and bird were first announced during Nintendo`s E3 2019 presentation.
