Cheat mode (Bottles):
Go to Treasure Trove Cove and complete the Underwater Castle section by spelling out BanjoKazooie. Return to Spiral Mountain and enter Banjo's house. Move towards the fireplace and stand on the green rug. Press the C-Up and look at Bottles' picture above the fireplace. Keep looking until Bottles speaks and a puzzle game starts. Bottles will give clues as to how the puzzles have to be completed. After each puzzle is finished, Bottles will reveal a code, which is then entered by using the Beak buster on the tiles of the Underwater Castle in Treasure Trove Cove. Note: These codes are not saved and must be re-entered with each new game session.

1. Requires book near Freezezy Peak puzzle.
2. Requires Mad Monster Mansion book.
3. Requires Rusty Bucket Bay book

Note: The following Spell Books are required for some codes:

Cheato Book 1
This book is located behind the entrance to Bubblegloop Swamp, near the jigsaw puzzle for Freezeezy Peak. When you first walk through the pipe that leads to the puzzle board for Freezeasy peak and the second pipe to the spell book, a block of ice will be covering the second pipe. First, get the wading boots in the pipe near the beginning of the Bubblegloop Swamp area. Go through the pipe as Banjo and break the block of ice. Then, have Mumbo Jumbo transform you into the alligator in Bubblegloop Swamp and enter the pipe that leads to the spell book

Cheato Book 2
Transform into a pumpkin in the Mad Monster Mansion level with Mumbo's help. Leave the skull and follow the winding path to Brentilda's platform. Enter the small hole and follow the path to the spell book.

Cheato Book 3
Find the entrance to Rusty Bucket Bay. Locate the cave with three pipes to the right of this location. Open the middle pipe and enter. Activate the "321" switch that is inside to raise the water level. Jump into the water and quickly move to the right. The book is located in the cave to the right.

The following variations on the other cheat codes will also work after all Spell Books have been collected.

Begin a new game and play until Treasure Trove Cove is unlocked without transforming at Mumbo's hut in any world. Collect the Jigsaw piece from the Underwater Castle in Treasure Trove Cove. Enter the sand castle after lowering the water. Enter one of the following codes on the floor tiles. The sound of a cow will be heard as confirmation each time a letter is entered. Another sound will confirm complete entry of the code. Note: If a mistake is made during code entry, Banjo must exit thecastle, then reenter and start all over with CHEAT followed by the rest of the code. Additionally, if the life bar is red when the "8 honeycombs" code is entered, the red Honeycombs will disappear and must be earned again.

Safer fall:
Press Z immediately before hitting the ground from a fall.

Jump further:
Press Attack during any jump.

Faster dialogue:
Hold B to scroll the text dialogue faster.

Slower dialogue:
Hold Z to scroll the text dialogue slower.

Skip dialogue:
Press L + R + B skip the dialogue display.

Alternate game selection screens:
The game will randomly play a humorous saved game animation. Rare has confirmed that any code that involves pressing A when the fish in the bowl does something is false.

Hint: Breaking the Click Clock Wood boulder:
It is possible to break the boulder blocking the Beaver's hole in Click Clock Wood on the Spring level. Stand on the ledge above the rock, then find the correct angle just to the right of the rock. Drop eggs onto the boulder to break it open. Swim into the hole on this level to find some glitches, such as the Beaver still asking to move the now destroyed rock.

Hint: Refill extra lives:
Complete the Treasure Trove Cove area. You may now return Treasure Trove Cove at any time. Go to Banjo's house, press C-Up at the picture of Bottles, then press Start. Leave the house and all the extra lives will re-appear. The closest ones are located behind the water fall and on top of the house.

Hint: Extra lives in Mr. Vile's games:
With Mumbo's help, turn into an alligator in the Bubblegloop Swamp. Then, enter the nose of the giant alligator statue. Beat Mr. Vile in his games to get the puzzle piece, then walk out and re-enter for a new challenge. Beat Mr. Vile in his three games to collect extra lives. Note: You will lose a life if any of the games are lost.

Hint: Translucent Banjo:
Get the boots in Bubblegloop swamp and wait in front of the exit portal until they are about to wear off. Stand on the portal when the boots wear off to create a translucent Banjo.

Hint: Entering Gnawty's house:
Locate the tree in Click Clock wood in the spring near the boulder that blocks the entrance to Gnawty's house. Climb the tree and get directly over the boulder. Drop eggs on the boulder to break it, allowing Banjo to get to Gnawty's house during the spring.

Hint: Hidden magic token:
In Clanker's Cavern, do a back flip on the very edge of where Banjo enters the area to find a magic token.

Hint: Get Mumbo's transformations without using any Mumbo Tokens:
This trick will allow Mumbo's transformations to be activated without using any Mumbo Tokens. Start a new file in the game. Play through the game until five Mumbo Tokens have been collected and have access to Treasure Trove Cove; but do not give Mumbo any tokens yet. Get the Sandcastle jiggy piece. Return to Banjo's house in Spiral Mountain and complete the Bottles puzzles to earn the washing machine code. Enable the code in Treasure Trove Cove to become the washing machine. Return to Mumbo's Mountain and enter Mumbo's hut. He will say, "Banjo has plenty tokens, stand on skull and press B for mighty Mumbo magic!" Stand on his platform and press B to become a termite. The sign will disappear, the spell will become free, and Banjo will still have the same number of tokens.

Hint: Kill bees easily:
Use the Wonderwing move (gold feather invincibility) to hit a bee hive. As long as the Wonderwing is active, the bees will instantly die when they attack.

Get the Ice Key:
Note: This trick requires a GameShark or Pro Action Replay cartridge. Enable the "Moon Jump" code: D0281251 0020 + 8137C4BC 43E0. Go to the Ice Cave and press L to fly over the wall and take the Ice Key. Kazooie will say something similar to "We better keep this for later". Pause game play, look under "View Totals", then press Analog-stick Right to scroll through the level statistics. The screen will eventually stop at the Ice Key below the text "Stop n' Swop".

Stay as transformed animal:
Note: This trick requires a GameShark or Pro Action Replay cartridge. Enable the "Moon Jump" code: D0281251 0020 + 8137C4BC 43E0. As an animal, exit the area that was being explored and hold L when the "Mumbo Magic Get Weak" message appears. Do not touch the ground and go through the door. Banjo-Kazooie will still be in the shape of that animal and can explore other areas with that form.
