Description
The Turbo Trainers are white sneakers that enable the wearer to run at high speed.
In the Games
Banjo-Kazooie
In Banjo-Kazooie, the Turbo Trainers (simply called the Running Shoes in this game) first appear in Bubblegloop Swamp, in Mr. Vile's crocodile head-shaped lair. They appear as a pair of white sneakers with a red star on their side. Banjo and Kazooie first learn how to use them from Bottles in Gobi's Valley, as the Turbo Talon Trot move. Their use is simple: walking into them will cause them to appear on Kazooie's feet, at which point the duo will be able to run very quickly. The shoes have limited use, however: they have a set time limit, after which they will disappear from Kazooie's feet and reappear at their original location. They can also be automatically canceled by the player with the B button on the Nintendo 64 controller or the X button on the Xbox 360 controller.
The Running Shoes have many uses in this game, such as allowing Banjo and Kazooie to reach areas that are only open for a short amount of time, or to outdo particularly fast foes, such as Grabba.
Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, the Turbo Trainers return, with much the same use as in the original game. They first appear in Spiral Mountain. This game changes the design of the Trainers slightly, adding a red lightning bolt in place of the red star seen in Banjo-Kazooie. The Turbo Trainers also give Banjo and Kazooie a new ability while they are in use: when running at full speed, the Turbo Trainers allow the duo to run atop water.
