SPECIAL TRAITS/TRIVIA:
--Kazooie has no hurtbox.
--Wonderwing can only be replenished by respawning, so its use is restricted to 5 times the number of lives in any mode except pure Time.
--Lots of their standard attacks are taken from the BK series, too.
--Since Banjo faces backwards when Kaz dashes, if he has curry, the flames will shoot backwards as well.
--Currently the only DLC characters (including Sans & Cuphead) with no game for the Switch. (Joker didn't have one when he was released, but P5 Scramble comes out this month.)

Holy carp, am I actually finally in the right month again?
