*'''The {{uv|Banjo-Kazooie}} universe''': A cult-classic 3D platformer series developed by [[Rare]], where a bear and bird duo known as [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]] go up against the evil, malevolent witch Gruntilda, collecting puzzle pieces known as Jiggies and receiving help from a wide variety of supporting characters in a cartoon world filled with dry British humor. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the pair make their ''Smash'' debut as a single playable fighter. The ''Banjo-Kazooie'' series is notable for initially being a partially-owned Nintendo IP, until the acquisition of Rare by [[Microsoft]] in 2002, becoming seen by some older Nintendo fans as "honorary" or "lost" Nintendo characters, which led to their popularity in the ballot and thus inclusion as Microsoft's first fighter over characters from more well known Xbox games.
