Jump is one of the most commonly used moves in the Banjo-Kazooie series. There are two different kinds of jumps: a very short jump which has limited uses, and a long jump which most players utilize. The short jump is one of the only abilities that can be used at the start of Banjo-Kazooie without visiting the first of Bottles' molehills. In Nuts & Bolts, The short jump, and long jump, are one of the few moves that Banjo & Kazooie still remember.
The short jump can be used by tapping the 
button once, while the long jump can be used by pressing and holding the button.
