Emotes are animations that the player can command Yooka and Laylee to perform by tapping any of the 4 directions on the D-Pad. The duo can perform a high five, dance, taunt, or even cower in shame at any time during the game, whether if the player is idling, collecting a Pagie, or even during a conversation with an NPC.
Trivia[]
- The Emote ability was added in thanks to the feed back from the Kickstarter backers, suggesting it would be a homage to the Banjo-Kazooie Series.
- The player also have the ability to skip the emotes, which may be useful for speedrunners.
