Overview

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Banjo throws a delayed overhand punch. It is tied with down aerial as the duo's slowest aerial attack with 15 frames of startup and has high ending lag. However, it has a slightly disjointed hitbox on his fist, can auto-cancel from a short hop, has the lowest landing lag of Banjo & Kazooie's aerials (11 frames), is moderately safe on shield, and is very powerful, being able to KO Mario at 89% from the edge of Final Destination. It can be followed up from neutral attack, up throw or down throw.
