Zubbas

In Banjo-Kazooie, players will encounter the Zubbas, who are a ferocious gang of yellow hornets with black stripes. These insects reside in a huge beehive located in the game’s ninth world Click Clock Wood. In order to access their hideout, players must scale the towering tree at the heart of the world and break the door on top of the hive by using Kazooie’s Beak Buster ability. Inside the hive, players will find the Zubbas fiercely guarding a golden Jiggy belonging to the wicked witch Gruntilda Winkybunion. Also, they’re extremely territorial and will attack any trespassers that try to steal their valuable treasure. As soon as Banjo and Kazooie enter the hive and step off the big stack of honeycombs, a Zubba becomes aware of their presence and turns hostile. After a brief exchange, where one of the Zubbas alerts the others they’ll swarm Banjo and Kazooie, emerging from the ground and attacking with their deadly stingers. Zubbas are often underrated enemies but their quick attacks make them dangerous when the player is low on health. However, players can defeat them easily by utilizing the Wonderwing ability, a technique that can be learned from Bottles in the game’s third world, Clanker’s Cavern. With the Wonderwing, they can vanquish all Zubbas with a single hit and render themselves impervious to all attacks. As soon as ten Zubbas are defeated, they’ll surrender and remove the glass around the Jiggy, allowing players to grab it in the center of the room, while gaining access to enter Zubba’s Nest at any point in the game.
