The Stony model.
“To free the trapped one, a star must appear before the sun rises. Another star appears followed by two moons. Does that help?”
—A Stony, Banjo-Tooie
The Stonies are rock-like creatives native to Mayahem Temple, although one Stony can be found within the Colosseum on the lava side of Hailfire Peaks. Stonies look like small, relatively featureless rocks from a distance, but will spring to life when approached, growing arms, feet, eyes, and a crown- or headdress-like decoration on their head. Stonies have their own language and speak in phrases which sound uncannily like rude insults (such as "kik yu butta" and "kaz-o-iee dym bird"); using the Stony transformation, Banjo and Kazooie can speak to Stonies for tips and hints.
The Stonies which play kickball in the Mayan Kickball Tournament and Colosseum Kickball Tournament have a much more aggressive and intimidating appearance than normal Stonies, sporting a large chin with a sharp-toothed under-bite and angry red eyes.

While transformed as a Stony in Mayahem Temple:
- Under the strong rocks you will find many surprises.
- Only the giant gold man can cross this quicksand to get the Jiggy...
- Shoot the giant stone ones between the eyes...
- This is the training area. You may consult any of the washed-up player-coaches for advice.
Taking Kickball training:
- Stony: Here's my advice, sonny. Try to come in first!
- Kazooie: Wowee, we'd never have thought of that!
- Stony: I reckon you should score lots of points!
- Kazooie: Sigh... I think we could have worked that one out for ourselves.
- Stony: Use the control stick to move, Z to kick the ball and B to barge. Kick the balls into your goal to score 2 points. Does that help?
- Banjo: I'm sure we'll soon find out...
Mayan Kickball Tournament:
- Welcome to the Amateur Kickball Championship! You may enter the Quarterfinals, but I'd advise you take a little training downstairs first.
- You've won your Quarterfinal! Move on to the Semifinals...
- You've won your Semifinal! The Mayan Kickball Final beckons...
- (repeated line) May the best Stony win!
- (if Stony Banjo wins all 3 Mayan Kickball rounds) I declare you the new Mayan Kickball champion!
Trivia[]
- The Stonies never blink in their talking animations.
