Description[]
Sony VS Microsoft. Two duos whose sidekicks are orange creatures and deal with the supernatural. Will Jak & Daxter redeem themselves, or will they join another combatant who has died at the hands of a bear? Stay tuned!
Interlude[]
( Cue ~ Invader - Jim Johnston)
Wiz: The normal relationship with humans and animals is often described as pethood. They often entertain humans, protect them from burglars, and are quite loyal.
Boomstick: And when it comes to animal and animal relationships, it's usually predator and prey. But today, one human and animal duo and one animal and animal duo with their annoying, orange sidekick are here to throw down.
Wiz: Jak & Daxter, the warriors of Sandover Village.
Boomstick: And Banjo-Kazooie, the warriors of Spiral Mountain. He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And its our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a death battle
Jak & Daxter[]
( Cue ~ Title Screen - Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy)
Wiz: Sony has created many characters. These include a psychopathic clown bent on gencide. Others involve, a man tricked by a god to slay his family, a man who was sent to deliver a life-changing package, and other characters include an adorable little puppet with a knack for creation. But one of the most iconic of Sony's creations are Jak & Daxter.
Boomstick: Jak was born into royalty from King -
Wiz: Damas! It's Damas.
Boomstick: But then some jerk named Baron Praxis overthrew his dad and banished him to the wastelands and Jak became an orphan.
Wiz: Luckily for him, he was adopted by Samos, the elder of Sandover Village where he met his friend-to-be, Daxter. While Daxter was definitely an exhaustion, the two quickly became inseparable friends.
Boomstick: Then one day, Jak had this idea to explore the forbidden Misty Islands which was forbidden for a pretty good reason.
Wiz: There happened to be a group of minions of the Sage of Dark Eco who listened to his plan. Worried, Jak took a step back and accidently knocked Daxter into a pool of Dark Eco which transformed him into an Ottsel. An -
Boomstick: Wiz, I know you don't know what an Ottsel is so I'll explain. An Ottsel is basically an otter/weasel hybrid.
Wiz: I was gonna say that!
Boomstick: Come on, Wiz. I know you like to pretend to be smart, but just face the facts, you're not.
Wiz: *Grunts* Anyways, after they told they Samos about Daxter's situation, his first reaction was to keep yapping.
Boomstick: But afterwards, he decided to train Jak & Daxter to harness Eco and face the Sage of Dark Eco to return Daxter's transformation.
( Cue ~ Behemoth Air Battle - Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier)
Wiz: Jak is able to harness Eco and use its abilities depending on the color type. Jak can heal and create shields with Green Eco, shoot yellow fireballs with Yellow Eco, run faster with Blue Eco, and increase strength with Red Eco.
Boomstick: Hahaha! I get it! Blue Eco is a reference to how Sonic is blue and runs fast and Red Eco is a reference to how Knuckles is red and super strong!
Wiz: But when they tinkered with ancient Precursor Technology, they stumbled into the future. Here, Praxiss captured Jak with the intent of turning him into a super soldier.
Boomstick: Why do they need to reuse that formula over and over again? Anyways, Praxis didn't really know what he was doing and Jak was his lab rat for two years until Daxter finally busted him out. Why on earth did it take two years?
Wiz: It's complicated. While Praxis' experiments didn't turn him into Sony's Captain America, they did allow him to consume Dark Eco and become the ferocious Dark Jak.
Boomstick: Dark Jak is a whole new deal. With Dark Bomb, Jak jumps up into the air and slams the ground down, creating a powerful Dark Eco shockwave affecting anyone in its vicinity.
Wiz: However, the Dark Bomb is so powerful, one use will revert Jak to his normal self. He also wields Dark Blast, a move where he jumps up and unleashes arcs of dark eco all over and damages anyone within range. However, like the Dark Bomb, this move also reverts Jak to normal after one use.
Boomstick: Good thing he's got the Dark Strike. With this, he can shoot a large, concentrated mass of dark eco at his foe to inflict major damage. And his Invincibility makes him immune to damage. On top of all that, Dark Jak can triple in size and strength.
Wiz: But like most heroes, Jak gained a light counterpart to counterbalance the darkness within. Its name is Light Jak.
Boomstick: in this form, Jak can stop time with Flash Freeze, glide through the air with Light Flight, heal up with Light Regeneration, and even protect himself with Light Shield.
Wiz: When any enemy hits the Light Shield, they take minor damage.
Boomstick: But when there isn't enough Dark or Light Eco to blast people with god-like energy, Jak uses one of the most versatile weapons in video game history, the Morph Gun. This baby comes equipped with a drone launcher, minigun, grenade launcher, ricochet rifle, and even an electric Arc Gun.
Wiz: And its mass Inverter mode is able to cause the victim to be hit with a beam that makes them experience anti-gravity.
Boomstick: But when that fails, they resort to the Super Nova. It pretty much one-shots the sucker who gets hit.
( Cue ~ Intro Theme - Jak X Combat Racing)
Wiz: With their insane amounts of weapons and Eco, Jak has dodged gunfire from Sig, obliterated a Precursor robot with Light Eco, and with his Dark Eco, he was able to get up from a cave-in.
Boomstick: And in Daxter's case, he's able to steer missiles with no sweat and even managed to infiltrate Praxis' labs.
Wiz: However, Jak & Daxter's eco does have a limit to how long it can be used. As the Dark and Light forms use different types of Eco, this makes them temporary as well. Also, Jak can be a bit reckless and doesn't always think things through. On top of all that, Daxter's got a bit of a smart mouth.
Boomstick: But when they're all souped up with Eco, you better pray they're not looking for you.
Clank: Did that weasel creature just call me a sidekick?
Daxter: WEASEL CREATURE?!
Jak: Maybe its time someone taught you some manners.
Banjo-Kazooie[]
Boomstick: Banjo and Kazooie were two normal friends who lived with Banjo's sister Tooty with out parents.
Wiz: Don't even think it. Anyways, one day Tooty and banjo were gonna go out to find some adventure, but he was asleep on that day,
Boomstick: Hibernation?
Wiz: No.
Boomstick: Aww. It was kind of bad timing, too. See, next to them was this witch named Gruntilda who was convinced she was the fairest of them all according to her magic pot.
Wiz: I may not know what that pot was being filled with, but it clearly made him crazy since Gruntilda's hideous.
Boomstick: If she was as heavy as she is ugly, she'd be as heavy as Wiz's mom!
(*Wiz punches Boomstick with robot arm.)
Boomstick: Ow! I'm starting to get the feeling that you're doing it on pur-
Wiz: Clearly the pot wasn't so crazy as he pointed out that Gruntilda is still not the fairest in Spiral Mountain.
Boomstick: The person who was the fairest was Tooty. Huh, would you look at that?
Wiz: The answer to this problem? Kidnap Tooty and use a magic machine to siphon her beauty, of course.
Boomstick: So first there's the reused super soldier shtick and now there's the even MORE reused damsel in distress shtick.
Wiz: Regardless, after Tooty failed to defend herself, a mole named Goggles said that gruntilda got her, alarming Kazooie to wake up Banjo.
Boomstick: After Goggles told the bear-bird duo about the situation, they set off to rescue Tooty from her ugly oppressor before she looked like her.
Wiz: To do so, Banjo and Kazooie acquired a special set of moves.
Boomstick: With the Beak Buster, Banjo jumps and flips upside side down so that Kazooie can slam down with her beak. The Bill Drill does the same thing only Kazooie spins her beak, which is also great for cracking boulders, but as powerful as it is, using is both difficult and impractical.
Wiz: With the Rat-a-tat Rap, Banjo can duck and allow Kazooie to peck enemies, granted they're tall enough to be pecked.
Boomstick: With Egg Firing, Kazooie can fire eggs from her mouth or butt. Wait, how does that work?
Wiz: I have no idea.
Boomstick: With the Forward Roll, Banjo can roll into enemies but he can only do so while running. Doesn't that sound like the Spin Attack?
Wiz: Kind of.
Boomstick: With the Feathery Flap, Kazooie can flap her wings and allow Banjo to get a slight boost. It can also slow Banjo's descent.
Wiz: With the Grenade Eggs, Kazooie can use explosive green eggs that can bring Egg Firing to shame. And with the Pack Whack, Banjo can use his backpack as a weapon without hurting Kazooie.
Boomstick: They were able to traverse some of the weirdest environments, defeat the weirdest of bosses, and were able to survive L.O.G's tough games.
Wiz: But even with their incredible teamwork, they do have some flaws. For one, Banjo can be extremely lazy and doesn't usually do things without motive and Kazooie can be a it to snarky for her own good.
Boomstick: How snarky is she, you may ask? Well, one time Banjo and Kazooie met this weird crab thing named Nipper who was gonna help them, but Kazooie's snarky comment rendered him offended, making him into a boss fight. On top of that, Banjo and Kazooie are a lot weaker when split apart.
Wiz: Even so, don't count out the duo that is Banjo-Kazooie.
Banjo: Yawn...What do you want, Kazooie?
Pre-Death Battle[]
Wiz: Alright! The combatants are set. Lets end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Death Battle[]
Jak & Daxter were cruising on their JET-Board throughout the forest when they noticed a little girl and stopped. The little girl known as Tooty screamed, causing Banjo to slam the door open and Kazooie noticed Jak & Daxter.
Kazooie: What's going on? Who are these two?
Tooty: They almost hit me!
Jak: we could've, but we didn't. We honestly didn't even try to.
Daxter: Yeah, so lets settle this peacefully.
Kazooie: Waht's the matter, you dumb weasel? Scared?
That comment pushed Daxter over the edge.
Daxter: WEASEL CREATURE!!!???
Jak: Maybe its time someone taught you some manners.
Jak readied his fists. Banjo readied his claws.
Fight!
Jak ran towards Banjo and punched him in the face and then two times in the stomach rapidly. Jak then backed away. Kazooie started firing eggs, but Daxter started hopping off all of them and landed on Banjo's head and lunged towards Kazooie, knocking her off the backpack into the ground. Daxter started throttling Kazooie. Jak gave a roundhouse kick to Banjo, to which Banjo retaliated with a Forward Roll, knocking him into a tree. Jak brought out the Morph Gun and activated the Gyro Burster.
The drone started shooting Banjo, and Banjo retaliated by destroying it. Daxter had dragged Kazooie near a rock and starting banging her head on the rock while simultaneously throttling her. Banjo ran towards Kazooie to help her, but was stunned by the Arc Wielder. Jak ran towards Banjo and punched his head, knocking him down. Banjo hit Jak with the Pack Whack three times before grabbing him and pulled a Bane and hit Jak's back with his knee, causing Jak to fall. He started to stumble as he got up but he picked up his footing.
Jak: Time to kick it up a notch!
Banjo ran towards Jak and used the Forward Roll, but Jak brought out his Green Eco and created a shield to stop the attack while also healing himself. Jak then brought out some Red Eco to boost his strength and started punching Banjo even harder than before, causing the bear to limp back. Jak then brought out his Blue Eco and started running around Banjo, confusing him. Jak then started punching Banjo from all directions.
Jak: You can't keep up.
Banjo started to run away to help Kazooie, but Jak fired yellow fireballs and stopped Banjo in his tracks. Banjo ran towards Jak and punched him twice in the face before throwing him into a tree. Since Jak's back hit the tree, Jak was in even more pain.
Banjo: That'll teach you to mess with my sister!
Jak: There's only one thing to make the pain go away.
Jak abosrbed Light Eco and became Light Jak and used Flash Freeze to stop time. Jak later started to heal his wounds with Light Regeneration, unfreezed time, and activated Light Shield. Banjo started punching the shield and also hurting himself until Light Jak wore off.
Jak: Time to finish this!
Jak abosrbed Dark Eco and transformed into Dark Jak. Dark Jak started slashing away at Banjo before knocking him into the rock where Daxter was still throttling Kazooie.
Dark Jak: Dax, look out!
Daxter heard Jak's warning and got out of the way as soon as possible. Banjo ended up crushing Kazooie. He picked her up as soon as he got up and put her back in his backpack. Daxter got onto Jak's shoulder and Dark Jak tripled his size and strength and used the Dark Bomb, sending Banjo-Kazooie into the air while also reverting Jak to his basic form. Jak activated the Super Nova, fired a missile, and caused an explosion that obliterated the bird-bear duo once known as Banjo-Kazooie.
Daxter: We should get out of here before the little one starts crying.
Jak: Good idea.
Jak and Daxter get on the JET-Board and leave.
K.O!
- Jak and Daxter told Samos and Keira about their fight.
- Tooty scooped up the feathers and fur that was banjo-Kazooie and starts to weep.
Results[]
Boomstick: Tooty's gonna need a new bodyguard.
Wiz: Banjo-Kazooie may have held a strength advantage, but it could only offer so much against Jak and Daxter.
Boomstick: When it came to skills, Jak had the edge. Banjo and Kazooie were trained by some mole who couldn't even stop some petty witch, while Jak and Daxter were trained by a wise sage who has plenty of knowledge about Precursors and Eco.
Wiz: And while Daxter isn't the perfect sidekick, he is a far more capable sidekick than Kazooie is.
Boomstick: But Wizard, we didn't include the vehicles from Nuts and Bolts!
Wiz: To be fair, we didn't give Jak & Daxter all the Morph Gun functions, the Gunstaff, or even Dark Daxter, who would definitely make things tougher.
Boomstick: And while Banjo is known for taking on magic users, Eco is something that he wouldn't exactly be able to handle due to the stat boosts. Plus, Dark Jak was just overkill.
Wiz: Banjo-Kazooie are effective fighters, but only when working together. Separately, they're not as strong. In contrast, both Jak & Daxter are perfectly capable of fighting on their own. Both duos have their fair share of skills, but Jak & Daxter's superior skills, weapons, and abilities put an end to the bird-bear duo.
Boomstick: Jak & Daxter could play this Banjo as easily as a Kazooie.
Wiz: The winners are Jak & Daxter.

Description[]
Sony's wacky duo goes against the rare bear and bird duo!
Interude[]
Metroid: Jak and Daxter, the Masters of Eco.
Thunder: And Banjo and Kazooie, the Rare Pair Duo!
Metroid: Teamwork always makes the dreamwork, and today's combatants are some of the most iconic duos in history.
Thunder: Well...they once were. He's Metroid and I'm Thunder!
Metroid: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.
Jak and Daxter bring the ecofire![]
Metroid: Long ago, before life on Earth, there was a force known as eco. This essential life force was left behind by powerful beings known as the Precursors.
Thunder: But you know how it is, life gets made and a bunch of nerds got curious to how it all happened. Can't just enjoy life, huh? }/ Metroid: Well, despite how many searched for it, the secrets may actually lie within the hands of a child known as Jak.
Thunder: Jak was your everyday teen who did whatever he wanted with his best friend Daxter, getting under nerdy Samos's skin with their gigs.
Metroid: Then one day one of their antics brought them to steal a speedboat and go to Misty Island, where after a bad encounter with a Lurker, Daxter fell into a pool of Dark Eco.
Thunder: Usually that's the equivalent of falling into acid. But Daxter became lucky; instead he...turned into an Ottsel!
BACKGROUND:
Jak
Real Name: Mar
Height: 5'10 / 177.5 cm
Weight: 105 lbs / 83.9 kg
Age: 19
Spent most of his life as a mute
Son of Royalty
Good at racing
Daxter
Age: 19
Species: Ottsel
Height: 2'10"/ 86 cm
Weight: 48 lbs / 21.7 kg
Occupation: Exterminator (formerly), Bar Owner
Technically a god
Handles the Guns when Jak drives
Metroid: After being rightfully reprimanded by Samos, the two set on a quest to find the Sage of Dark Eco, Gor. So, Jak set off to master eco to help his friend. Oh, and Daxter joined and to gives tips and commentary.
Thunder: And Jak's no slouch in combat! He's got good hand to hand combat skills, doing stuff like spin attacks, dashing punches, leaping uppercuts, and dive bombs with his fist out first!
Metroid: And when acquiring Eco, Jak can get a boost. Green Eco heals injuries, creates shields and and can make crystals appear to shield Jal, Red Eco increase his strength and allows him to make giant energy orbs that explode when shot at, Blue Eco speeds up his movement and reflexes to the point where time seems to slow, and Yellow Eco lets him fires projectiles from his hand.
Thunder: The issue is, Gor was actually gonna mess up the world with Dark Eco, so Daxter willingly gave up becoming human again to save it. Wait, they're humans? I thought they were elfs!
Metroid: And Jak did so by grabbing White Eco and launching an energy projectile so stronger it blew up the giant Precursor Robot Gor was piloting. But that was just the beginning.
Thunder: After they fucked around with some Precursor tech, Jak and Daxter wound up in the future! Jak got kidnapped and became a test subject for a Dark Warrior program, which basically is pumping Dark Eco into someone to make 'em powerful.
Metroid: During this, Daxter actually took up the job as a Exterminator and showed he could fight big monsters too, so he isn't really too much of a slouch. This job allowed him to sneak into the prison Jak was in, and break him out. However, while Jak didn't die to Baron Praxis's experiments...it did change him.
Thunder: Made him an utter badass! Not only was Jak a more edgy protagonist, but he could turn into a form called Dark Jak, which gives him a huge increase in strength, can allow him to double in size and power, and become completely invincible!
Metroid: And with this form came many powerful techniques, such as Dark Blast, where he spins in the air and spins, sending out arcs of dark eco that put foes in complete agony, or Dark Bomb, where he leaps into the air and slams his fist into the ground, causing a giant shockwave to burst out around him. And with Dark Strike, Jak can fire concentrated Dark Eco at his target.
Thunder: But since Jak was in a corrupt city, he needed way more than fisticuffs and anger issues! So he got one heckuva gun: the Morph Gun! Powered by all different kinds of Eco, it can change to different styles of guns; Scatter is like a Shotgun Blast, the Wave Concussior needs charge, but will create a shockwave once released, and the Plasmite RPG is basically a grenade launcher.
Metroid: With Yellow Eco, the Morph Gun has a Blaster mod that lets it first single, yet power beams. With Beam Reflexor, the shots now deflect off enemies and walls, making the battle hectic to navigate. And with Gyro Burster, Jak shoots out a small drone that fires shots in every direction.
Thunder: Blue Eco gives Jak mods like Vulcan Fury, which is just a minigun. Arc Wielder has Blue Eco come out in a Arc, electrocuting anyone it hits. And with Needle Lazer, a trio lasers come out, seeking any opponent.
Metroid: Lastly, Dark Eco gives mods such as Peace Maker, which requires a charge before releasing a powerful spectical Blast of electricity at it's target, which then release an arc that damages others nearby. With Mass Inverter, it releases a anti-graviry field that anything caught in it will be sent floating into the air helplessly.
Thunder: And Super Nova...well, Jak fires a freaking Mini-Nuke. That's just the best way to describe it.
Metroid: These weapons let him save Haven City, as ungrateful as they were, but Jak still was suffering from the Dark Eco in his body. But when he met the Precursors...
Thunder: Who were Ottsels so technically Daxter's a god.
Metroid: ...Jak was granted the form of Light Jak.
Thunder: Light Jak isn't actually a powerhouse, but still cool. In this form, he can fly, regenerate damage, create a forcefield and even stop time!
Metroid: Time and time again, Jak and Daxter have stopped various threats. They've defeated Gor, Kor, and Erol. And even then, it turns out Jak...was actually sent to the past.
Thunder: Huh.
Metroid: Yeah, after beating Kor, Jak would send his younger self to the past, and to Sandover, to become who he is today. Also, he's actually the son of royality...don't question how the time stuff works.
Thunder: Too late. My internal processor is already glitching...
Metroid: I'll take a look at it later. Now you may be wondering...Jak's cool, but what about Daxter? Well, admitlly Daxter ian't as impressive. He isn't helpless though, as he is able to do his own variation of Jak's spin move and has been shot through metal with no injury.
Thunder: And yeah, we know Lost Frontier isn't exactly the most beloved Jak series, but it gave Daxter a sick Dark Daxter transformation, turning him into basically a darker version of the Tazmanian Devil. He can throw bolts of Dark Eco, make earthquakes by pounding the ground hard, and even spin so fast he becomes a tornado, and becomes a fire one if he touches any flames while spinning! It also gives him a pretty big size increase.
Metroid: While busting metal would make Daxter pretty strong, Jak's own guns are way more powerful as they took out a Terraformer capable of surviving an impact worth 163.06224606936874 gigatons of tnt. And Dark Jak is meant to be the Supreme Weapon of Baron Praxis, which means it's superior to the Precursor Gem, which could wipe out all life on Earth. And with this, we could argue the same for Dark Daxter.
Thunder: And they've not only done missions day by day without sleeping at all. And they even dodge lasers at point-blank!
Metroid: While their ability may be limited to how much do they have, do not ever underestimate Jak and Daxter. Those who have, never live to tell the tale.
Banjo and Kazooie get jiggy with it![]
Metroid: Welcome to Spiral Mountain. Located in the Isle'O Hags, it houses many...unique settings.
Thunder: Yeah, this place is cartoony to the extreme. Everything has eyes, objects can speak, and there's a witch with a lair in the shape of her face no one really paid attention to.
Metroid: However, perhaps they should have. Because one day, the witch was told she wasn't the prettiest girl in the land, but rather, a young girl named Tooty.
Thunder: I feel that cauldron should be on a list. Anywho, Grauntilda didn't take well to the fact she wasn't pretty although a mirror would solve that issue fast. So she decided to...kidnap the kid and try to give her ugliness to her and take her prettiness for herself. That's...certainly a sentence alright.
Metroid: But Gruntilda would not remain unopposed. As it turns out, Tooty had a brother; a bear named Banjo, and a friend named Kazooie.
BACKGROUND:
Banjo
Species: Honey Bear
Home: Spiral Mountain
Also Owner of Spiral Mountain
Really good at making cars
Friends with Diddy Kong and Conker the Squirrel
Has a weird vendetta against camels
Kazooie
Species: Breegull
A bit of a jerk
Shares ownership of Spiral Mountain with Banjo
Was found on a beach
Uses eggs as weapons
Has a soft spot for kids
Thunder: Originally Banjo was just a friend of Diddy Kong, who got roped into helping with racing against Wizpig. Not exactly impressive, but what can you do?
Metroid: But after that, Banjo's sister was well, kidnapped as stated. And with the help of Kazooie and Bottles, he had all he needed to save his sister.
'Thunder: Banjo is relatively a good natured bear with a heart of gold, but Kazooie's kind of a jerk who starts fights and insults. Not to Banjo though."
Metroid: Banjo and Kazooie can work together well, and Kazooie lets him use her as a weapon for battle. He can use her as a gun that fires eggs, ranging from normal, fire, ice, battery, remote drones, and rapid fire, a club to smash foes into the ground, and even let Banjo ride on her back to move around with far greater speed. She can also...lay grenades?
Thunder: She's shitting them out, there's a fart sound effect. Kazooie can flap her wings to slow the descent of fall. Give Banjo a more energy by slapping him, no really. She can even act as a propeller for Banjo when swimming. They also can break the 4th wall! They aren't gonna break in here, are they?
Metroid: Doubtful. Kazooie has a magic wrench, which allows her to pull things around with a tractor beam, makes vehicles with weapons like laser beams, and even summon vehicle, or just use it was buldgeoning tool. She can also be used like a bayonet or a drill, rapidly peck foes or ram into them.
Thunder: And with feathers, Kazooie can fly, use Wonderwing, which makes them invicible and dangerous to touch. Banjo has a sick skillset too, being able to do stuff like rolling tackles, bear swipes, use that backpack as a weapon, and even fit things way more heavier and bigger into the thing and walk around like it's nothing. Hell, he can get into the backpack to heal or shield!
Metroid: They also have access to various footwear that aid them heavily. Wading Boots let Kazooie wander around in hazardous terrain safely. The Turbo Trainers boost her speed, the Springy Step Shoes let Kazooie jump extremely high, and the Claw Climber Boots let her scale walls.
Thunder: It kinda helps they can actually even beat up ghosts! They also got some good vehicle skills, and probably most crazy; Banjo and Kazooie have cheat codes that are CANON.
Metroid: They can double the ammo for eggs and feathers, passively regain health, and shrug off any fall damage. Speaking of which, both are immensely durable. They can tank a stomp from the Stompasaurus, which stomps can range from 3.72 Tons of TNT, to 1.19 Megatons of TNT.
Thunder: And in terms of speed, they've dodged cannonball fire! So yeah, pizza may weigh them down, but they've still got what it takes to stop Gruntilda over and over. And she uh...really get fucked up after.
Metroid: Limited ammunition or not, or even using cars, as long as Banjo and Kazooie have each others back, they can do just about anything.
Prelude[]
Metroid: Alright, the combatants are set, and we've run the data through all possibilities.
Thunder: It's time for a Death Battle!
Pre-Fight[]
It was a calm day in Spiral Mountain. The Bear and Bird duo, Banjo and Kazooie were calmly playing their instruments of their name sake. L.O.G. hadn't given any real things for them to do. "Ahh, just another day. Playing some songs, enjoying the scenery...nothing like relaxation, right Kazooie?" Banjo spoke, before Kazooie rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, I guess. But it's boring! When can we fight those Smash Bros. losers again?" Kazooie grumb;ed, making Banjo frown. "Kazooie! Come on, they let us in, we should be more respectful!"
Before the bickering could go on, Banjo and Kazooie were nearly knocked over by something that sped by. "Whoa! Kazooie, what the heck was that?" He questioned as Kazooie grunted. "No, but I'm pretty peeved about it! Go chase 'em, dang it!" With a shrug, Banjo got up and chased after the speeding target.
Meanwhile, the speeding target would soon slow, with the something flying off the shoulder; an Ottsel. After a moment, the Ottsel glanced up and gritted his teeth. "I told you not to go fast! Why didn't you listen?!" The Ottsel, known as Daxter, complained to the human on the JET-Board.
"Sorry, Dax. But we needed to get here as fast as we could. Samos says there's some weird eco activity here, and he isn't even sure if it IS eco." The human, known as Jak explained, making Daxter roll his eyes. "Well, let's make it quick. This place is giving me the creeps with how many things here have eyes!"
"HEY! WEIRDOS!" The voice made the two turn around to see Banjo and Kazooie. Banjo gave a Kazooie a look before turning to the duo politely. "Er, we were wondering..." He didn't get to finish before Kazooie interrupted.
"Are you two blind?! You nearly rammed into us on that board of yours!" Kazooie bellowed, making Jak and Daxter hold their ears. "Sheesh! Lady, you could tone that the voice!" Daxter ironically complained, before getting a better look at her. "Hey, wait, you're those sellouts!"
"Sellouts?!" Kazooie squawked. "We didn't ask yo be bought by Microsoft!" Daxter rolled his eyes. "Oh, whatever. How about you has beens leave us alone?"
"Oh that's rich! The Lost Frontier not remind you of something?" Kazooie retorted. "Hey! At least it wasn't a full vehicle game like yours!" Daxter defended.
"Well guess what, fuzzball? We're in Smash! Try one upping that!" Kazooie bellowed, Daxter clenching his fists. "As DLC! At least in Playstation All-Stars, we're playable from the get go!"
"Who even likes that game?!"
The argument went back and forth. Banjo just sighed as Jak facepalmed and held his head. "Alright, that's enough Dax." Jak picked his friend up. "We don't have time to mess around Dax." He looked at the bear and bird duo. "And you two, knock it off."
Jak turned around to walk away, as Banjo mumbled "I didn't say anything...", Kazooie spoke up. "Oh, look at Hoverboy and his attitude! Bet he had a deadbeat dad who taught him squat!"
Jak paused.
"What did you just say?"
"You heard me! A deadbeat--" Kazooie didn't get to process Jak suddenly going uo and punching her, making her comically spin as Banjo caught her. Looking over to the now (rightfully angry) Jak, Daxter leaped onto his shoulder. "Hey, missy! You wanna know what bird you really are?" Daxter yelled, before lifting a peace sign with the back of his hand facing the two. "THIS one! Right here!"
"Why that little...Banjo, let's get em!" Kazooie yelled, causing Banjo to sigh. So much for an easy day...
Fight[]
Jak made the first move, going for a dashing punch that forced Banjo to block. Shortly after, Jak began doing a spinning attack to knock the bear back. Banjo stopped shielding, Daxter saw Kazooie peek out with a wrench. "Don't worry Jak! I'll handle the featherbrain!"
Leaping over, Daxter was gonna wrangle Kazooie, but the bird wacked him with the wrench. Afterwards, Daxter was lifted by the Wrench's tractor beam and spun around before Kazooie threw him away, the Ottsel screaming before Jak caught. "Nevermind, you handle her...and the bear."
Jak nodded, before pulling out the Morph Gun, with the Blaster Mod. Letting out an "Uh oh.", Banjo quickly ran from the shots, jumping to let Kazooie do Talon Trot to outrun the shots faster. Before longm Kazooie began weaving around them, before getting closer to Jak. "Let 'em have it, Banjo!"
"Sorry about this!" Banjo said before swiping at Jak, the Eco Warrior using the Morph Gun to block the hit. He blocked two more, but Kazooie quickly popped out to peck Jak, allowing Banjo to perform a roll to tackle Jak back.
"Agh, damn it!" Jak grunted, much to Banjo's shock. "Whoa, now! Watch your language, mister!" He lectured, making Daxter roll his eyes. "Oh please, we've dropped the kiddy crap a long time ago."
"Lucky smucks..." Kazooie mumbled before Banjo grabbed her and used her as a gun, firing eggs rapidly at the Precursor duo. Jak swapped to the Scatter Mod and blasted the Eggs, and quickly rushed to Banjo and performed an uppercut that sent Banjo up before using the Mass Inverter Mod to make Banjo weightless.
"Whoa, what's going on?!" Banjo yelped as Jak swapped to the Peacemaker. "The finish." Jak replied, fired the projectile...and saw Kazooie quickly fly, dragging Banjo away. The bird then began to lay grenades, the explosives dropping down to the Eco Warrior below.
"GAH! Jak, she's dropping bombs!" Daxter screamed, with Jak grabbing him and pulling out the JET-Board to get away. "Hang on, Dax!" He even did a 360 spin to gather speed, escaping the bombs...
...But was crushed when Kazooie ground pounded on him with her beak, making him yell out. He pushed the two off him, but Banjo quickly replied by swinging his backpack at Jak's face...then pulling out Kazooie to perform the Breegull Bash.
However, Jak was quick to use some Green Eco to generate a shield around him, this the bird merely hit against. "YOWCH! Watch what you're swinging at!" Kazooie yelled, getting a "Sorry!" from Banjo.
Deciding on another set up eco usage against, jak tapped into Blue Eco, and began moving immensely fast. Both bear and bird tried to keep up, but Jak kept bombarding them with punches and kicks before Kazooie began to spit Fire Eggs in hopes of landing a proper attack.
Jak dodged all of em...mostly. Daxter's tail got hit by one, and he jumped off upon seeing so. "GAH! FIRE! FIREEEE!" He ran off and leaped into the water. "Daxter, wait!" Jak called, but Banjo was quick to charge and perform an tackle with Kazooie out, her beak striking Jak's stomach before he was hit by Battery Eggs.
"You little..." Jak grunted before firing the Vulcan Cannon, many, many bullets flying out Gatling Gun style. Banjo's eyes widened before he nudged his backpack, Kazooie popping out to perform Wonderwing.
All the bullets basically bounced off safely. Jak kept firing, being sure all he needed was enough shots...but Banjo and Kazooie got close and staggered Jak by ramming him, making stumble back before swiping Jak back. He fired the Needle Lazer at Banjo, but the bird and bear duo performed a flip to avoid the attack before plunging at him like a missile.
"Bring it!" Jak yelled, activating the Wave Concussor and charging it. The second the duo got close to Jak, he held it up...and fired.
The sheer force knocked all of them away. Jak hit a wall as Banjo and Kazooie flopped back. Jak slowly got upright and fired Gyro Bruster, a drone beginning to spin around and fire shots every which way. Retreating, Jak came across a Daxter who was busy squeezing the water out of his tail. "There you are! I've been looking for you ever since I got outta the water." Daxter complained, before seeing Jak looked pained. "Jak? You alright?" He asked, toned sounding more worried.
"I'm...fine. They just got a few good hits in...." Jak grunted, before looking behind Daxter and seeing as robot Kazooie slowly waddle towards them. "Dax, move!"
But alas the explosion went off, knocking both back to lay on the floor. Banjo and Kazooie, who had set the drone down, high fived each other. "Hah! We showed those two jerks, huh Banjo?" Kazooie gloated as Banjo nodded. "Yep! So let's get back to enjoying our day."
The duo began to walk away, leaving the two behind....not noticing Jak and Daxter's eyes suddenly snapping open. Within a momkent, a giant burst appeared around them, making Banjo and Kazooie pause. "Oh, don't tell me they're still going!" Kazooie whined, before they turned around...and their eys shrunk.
It WAS Jak and Daxter...but they looked different. Jak had horns and pale skin as Daxter looked more like a giant monster. Jak would let out a monsterous roar, as Daxter grinned. "Heh, time to have some meat snacks after so long!"
They both went into their dark forms. Kazooie and Banjo looked at each other, before Banjo said "Can ya bring in the car?", Kazooie nodding. "Sure thing."
Using the wrench, a car with laser turrents was summoned in. The duo got in as Dark Jak began charging after them Dark Daxter firing bolts of Dark Eco. Luckily for Rare's duo, Banjo was a skilled enough driver to evade Dark jak's swipoes and Dark Daxter's bolts.
Dark Daxter would quickly punch the ground, sending everything up and the vehicle flying. Banjo used this as a chance to turn the vehicle around mid-air and open fire with lasers.
While Dark Daxter did shield himself, Dark Jak kept charging, getting ready to slash at them again. "Banjo, stay on the gas, I'll need to blow this guy to bits!"
"You got it, Kazooie!" Banjo called as Kazooie laid a ton of grenades. Dark Daxter saw this, and grinned as he began spinning, creating a tornado.
The suction sucked up a lot of the grenades, and exploded, making the tornado firey. With Dark Jak performing the Dark Bomb, and a final volley of lasers caused a giant explosion!
When the dust subsided, Banjo and Kazooie grunted as they got up, Jak and Daxter were on a knee. "Come on, Banjo! Take this chump out!" Kazooie yelled, as Banjo began running to them.
"Jak, do something!" Daxter yelled, as Jak slowly closed his eyes...and was engulfed in light. "Oh what now?!" Kazooie complained before seeing the light fade...and standing before them was Light Jak.
Quickly jumping onto his friend's shoulder, Daxter got relaxed. "Yeah, this'll work fine."
"What are you doing Banjo? You got to end things quick!" Kazooie reminded her friend, who sheepishly nodded. "Right. Well, here goes nothing!"
Banjo ran up and lifted a claw to swipe...but Light Jak clapped his hands, and time...froze!
"Hang on Jak, I got something I gotta do!" Daxter spoke, before quickly jumping towards the two. He would grab Kazooie, and cram her into Banjo's mouth. Shortly after, he got back on Jak and the duo flew far away from the bear and bird.
Upon reaching a set distance, the time freeze finally wore off as Jak pulled out the Morph Gun. "Alright Jak! Let's let it rip!" With a smile, Jak took aim. "You read my mind."
Meanwhile, Banjo would finally pull Kazooie from his throat. After a fit of coughing, the two heard something coming from behind, and turned around...
And saw a Supernova shot moments from hitting them.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!'"
Jak and Daxter shielded their eyes from the giant dust cloud that had emerged from the explosion. After the dust cleared, the human and ottsel looked over to see if their targets were standing...
All they saw was alot of dust from the explosion, and no bear and bird. After the silence, Daxter high fived Jak. "That's right! We bad! Ya haven't forgotten what I thought ya Jak!"
Jak smiled. "Well, anyways, let's get back to what we were here for." He replied, Daxter nodding as the two began their search for a mysterious form of Eco.
Results[]
Winner's Screen: L.O.G. appears to talk to Banjo and Kazooie again...but finds Jak and Daxter instead. Daxter is tempted to a new game but Jak pulls him away
Loser's Screen: Banjo and Kazooie's ghosts are seen with Bottles. While Banjo is bemoaning his situation, Bottles is laughing at Kazooie's misfortune, with the Breegull really wanting to smack the crap out of him.
Thunder: Well, if Microsoft didn't kill them before, Jak definitely did.
Metroid: Banjo and Kazooieare formidable Fighters, do not get us wrong. But when it came down to it, Jak and Daxter were just way too powerful for them to overcome.
Thunder: While both duos had a lot to utilize, Jak had more ammunition in general, along with more weapons, allowing him to constantly keep the bear and bird on their toes.
Metroid: While Wonderwing could counter this, it only having 20 golden feathers for its limited means Jak can easily wait it out until the Invincibility is gone. Likewise, Banjo and Kazooie were outclassed in stats.
Thunder: While Banjo's dodged cannonballs, Jak's dodged point blank laser shots. And while Banjo and Kazooie can survive and dish out blows around Town to city Level, Jak has shrugged off and destroyed machines than can tank impacts calced at fricking Island level! And he gets stronger with Dark Jak!
Metroid: Now, Banjo and Kazooie were better at teamwork, since Daxter typically leaves things to Jak. In fact, his very small feats means the bear and bird duo could actually kill him. But Dark Daxter kinda solves that. Combine that with shields and just far more ruthlessness, the bear and bird's teamwork ultimately fell short.
Thunder: In the end, Banjo and Kazooie were flocked no matter what.
Metroid: The winners are Jak and Daxter.
