* In a Meta way, Banjo and Kazooie [[TheBusCameBack being officially added]] to the roster of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' was this for many fans of the series. The trailer shown at the E3 2019 even treated their reveal as such, with [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1 Donkey Kong, Diddy and King K. Rool]] all cheering for the return of their old pals from Creator/{{Rare}}.
** The only thing sweeter than this is Grant Kirkhope himself saying one thing to the fans. One simple thing that they all needed to hear. Four little words that made everyone jump for joy. "Banjo, Kazooie, we’re home!"
** [[TheBusCameBack Tooty appearing on Spiral Mountain]]. After so long of going unused since the first game, she finally appears for the first time in 21 years.
** After Rare and Microsoft merged and the game did not appear on Wii or Wii U Virtual Console, it felt like Nintendo fans would never play the original on modern consoles. Then come the September 23, 2021 WebVideo/NintendoDirect, where it was revealed the game would arrive on Nintendo Switch Online - Nintendo 64. This was met with excitement and love from fans, [[https://twitter.com/RareLtd/status/1441175390312022018 the current owners]], [[https://twitter.com/grantkirkhope/status/1441169292557381632 Grant Kirkhope]], and [[https://twitter.com/PlaytonicGames/status/1441334192894210055 Playtonic even posting a picture of Yooka and Laylee playing the game]].

* In the spinoff ''Banjo-Pilot,'' there's a racetrack called Clanker's River. It's a beautiful, idyllic river with Clanker the Shark swimming in it. [[BelatedHappyEnding He got free of Grunty's sewer and found a beautiful new place to live!]]

* When Banjo and Kazooie are separated in ''Tooie'', the left behind partner will always tell the other not to leave them if they try to travel too far away. Banjo will sadly ask Kazooie not to leave him alone, while Kazooie sternly declares that there's no way he's leaving without her. Goes to show that despite their arguing and snarking at each other, [[PlatonicLifePartners they genuinely do like being with each other]].
* Kazooie's [[EveryoneHasStandards even jerkasses have standards]] moment in ''Tooie''. One of the tasks in Terridactyland requires her to hatch Terry the pterodactyl's lost eggs. The last one happens to be too big to fly back to the nest on its own, so Terry jokingly asks Kazooie to simply blow it up. [[DudeNotFunny Kazooie doesn't find this funny at all]].
--> '''Terry:''' Hmmm, I'm not sure if there will be room in our nest. You couldn't just hit it with one of those Grenade Eggs, could you?
--> '''Kazooie:''' [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold You heartless...]]
* Towards the end of ''Tooie'', Jamjars swallows his pride and gives a forced apology to Kazooie in order for her to bring his dead brother Bottles back to life.
* In Jolly Roger's Lagoon, after Kazooie hatches Tiptup's egg and helps his son out, Tiptup takes his son to meet his sisters. Awww.
* Also, in Terrydactyland, the Styracosaurus family - just the sheer amount you help a family in a dire situation (One of the children is deathly ill, another has been shrunk to a tiny size and the third is missing, trapped in a [[CircusOfFear hellish amusement park]]) for, really, a minor reward compared to the amount of work you do. Just goes to show that you may be playing as a none-too-bright bear and a snarky bird, but they're still nice guys.
** Even though Kazooie tries to request a bigger reward at first, she accepts the relatively small reward with surprising grace.
* Klungo’s character arc in ''Tooie''. After spending two years as Gruntilda’s servant, it’s clear that she abuses him constantly, shown by him becoming more and more beat up with every time he tries to defeat the bear and bird. By the end of the game, he gives up on his career and joins Banjo and his group of friends, aspiring to make "ssstupid games". He might have gone against his master’s demands, but his new friends treat him better than Gruntilda ever did.

* After learning the necessary moves, you can go back to Spiral Mountain and not only break the rock that's been trapping a little goldfish all game, but also transport it back into the water. In return, he gives you the ability to swim fast, as well as doubling your air meter.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtkTrRHyCV0&feature=youtu.be And now...]] after so, so many years, [[TheBusCameBack they're back]]. [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate And right where they belong, at that]].

* Kazooie's [[EveryoneHasStandards even jerkasses have standards]] moment in ''Tooie''. One of the tasks in Terridactyland requres her to hatch Terry the pterodactyl's lost eggs. The last one happens to be too big to fly back to the nest on its own, so Terry jokingly asks Kazooie to simply blow it up. [[DudeNotFunny Kazooie doesn't find this funny at all]].
