Banjo-Kazooie ^{(Nintendo 64)}

Banjo-Tooie "Stop'n'Swop" Secrets

Did it drive you nuts that Rare hid secrets in Banjo-Kazooie that could only be unlocked through Banjo-Tooie? Well, someone finally figured how to open up the hidden stuff. By using the following cheats, you will be able to raise Sharkfood Island, get to the Ice Key and collect all the secret eggs -- but there is still one question left to be answered. What the heck do you do with them? Alas, we don't have an answer to that question quite yet...

Whenever you collect one of these special items, they get added to a "Stop'n'Swop" inventory screen. Rumor has it that Rare came up with a way that lets you pull out BK while your N64 is still on and quickly plug in Banjo-Tooie. However, rumors from within Nintendo also suggest that the Big "N" wasn't thrilled at all about this technical feat and wanted Rare to get rid of the feature. Whatever the truth is, we still don't know how BK and BT connect. Until we find out, you can at least collect all the hidden goodies to get ready for the big day.

Go to Banjo-Kazooie's Sandcastle in Treasure Trove Cove and start off by spelling CHEAT. Every letter you hit will make a "moo" sound to confirm that you did it correctly.

After you spelled CHEAT, you will be able to enter the following lengthy cheats to unlock the hidden stuff. The cheats are pretty much self-explanatory. Note that the letters won't make any noise.

To open the locked gate in the rock wall in Gobi's Valley, enter the following cheat. You will find the Blue Egg inside.

• 
  A DESERT DOOR OPENS WIDE ANCIENT SECRETS WAIT INSIDE

• DONT YOU GO AND TELL HER ABOUT THE SECRET IN HER CELLAR
  

Everybody loves Loggo the Toilet on Mad Monster Mansion's second floor. Enter the following cheat to find the Green Egg in the same room:

• AMIDST THE HAUNTED GLOOM A SECRET IN THE BATHROOM
  

The Yellow Egg is hidden in Click Clock Wood. Once you enter the following cheat, you will be able to find it in Nabnuts' tree house.

• NOW BANJO WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT ON NABNUTS TABLE
  

Finally, the Red Egg is hidden in the Captain's Cabin in Rusty Bucket Bay. Enter the following cheat to bring it out of hiding:

• THIS SECRET YOULL BE GRABBIN IN THE CAPTAINS CABIN
  

Remember that the cheats will only work if you have already been to the respective levels. Have fun.

Warp Cauldron Locations

The warp cauldrons transport Banjo-Kazooie to other locations in Gruntilda's Lair. The time it takes to get to certain levels can be noticeably reduced.

There are four sets of cauldrons.

• PURPLE: The first purple cauldron can be found through a passageway in the area where the Treasure Trove Cove jigsaw puzzle is located.

  
  The second cauldron is located in the area prior to Freezeezy Peak, where there is a large witch's head. It can be found tucked in a cave that is hidden behind a spiderweb. Use eggs to destroy the web.
  

• BLUE: The first blue cauldron can be found near the second purple cauldron is located. Go to the top of the spiral walkway, where there is another spiderweb on the ground. Shoot eggs out your rear to destroy the web.

  
  The second blue cauldron is located in the area with the entrance to Rusty Bucket Bay. It is near the top of a bunch of stacked boxes.
  

• RED: The first red cauldron is located inside the pipe below the passageway heading to Clanker's Cavern (also the same area where there is a passage to Treasure Trove Cove).

  
  The second red cauldron is tucked away in a passage at the bottom of the hill before Click Clock Wood. There are two entryways and they are just barely visible above the grass.
  

• YELLOW: After beating Gruntilda's gameshow go up the spiral staircase to find the first cauldron. The second one is behind the starting platform for the gameshow.
  

Cheato's First Spell Book

To enter Cheato's first lair, go into Bubblegloop Swamp and find Mumbo's Hut. (To find Mumbo's hut, go above the gator's head into the maze and you'll have to find his hut.) He will transform you into a gator. Now exit Bubble Gloop Swamp and go into Gruntilda's lair. Try to go BEHIND the entrance to Bubble Gloop Swamp. If you successfully go behind puzzle to Bubble Gloop Swamp, you'll find Cheato the Spell Book.

Cheato's Second Spell Book

Go to the level MAD MONSTER MANSION. Change to the pumpkin and go to the platform that BRENTILDA is on, go through the little hole and get the red spell book. Then go to the BANJOKAZOOIE puzzle in TREASURE TROVE COVE then enter REDFEATHERS to get 100 feathers and a maximum of 100.

Cheato's Third Spell Book

To find Cheato's 3rd spellbook, you have to have the water risen to the 2nd level before you can race to the lair.

Find the switch to raise the water to the third level (behind a grated pathway behind the 460 note door when the water has risen the first time.) Go through the door then immediately dive down in the water and go to the Rusty Bucket Bay area and swim to the top after coming out and look for a staircase and that will lead you to the lair.

Note: After hitting the switch to raise the water to the third level, you'll only have 30 seconds to get your furry hide to the lair.

Double Health

If you have enough notes, open the 882-Note Door, then stand on the puzzle piece platform. By completing the picture with four of your Jiggys, your Honeycomb Energy Meter will turn red. From then on, your Honeycomb Energy will be twice as strong. In essence, one red Honeycomb Energy Piece will represent two pieces on your meter, so one hit will turn a red piece yellow, and a subsequent hit will completely deplete the piece of energy.

Secret Room in Monster Mansion

In Mad Monster Mansion there is a secret room outside the Church. Look at all the stain glass windows outside the castle and you will notice that one has a picture of Banjo and Kazooie on it. Simply jump through the window to get to a bonus room inside.

Rusty Bucket Bay Whistle Combination

The combination for the whistle game in Rusty Bucket Bay is 312-111. It's written on the side of the ship, in case you forget...

Jumping Tip

As you know, there are three types of jumps in Banjo-Kazooie. In all three, if you press the ATTACK button during your jump you'll travel a little farther than you normally would.

Less Damage From A Fall

To take less damage from a long fall, press B just before you land.

Bug Repellant

First put in the code for unlimited gold feathers (you don't NEED to but, it helps). Then, while using the Wonderwing, break a honey case. Keep Wonderwing on and wait for the bees to begin to attack you. They will die instantly (and rather humorously) and will never pose as a threat to you.

Playing Tips

Question: Ok, I found the entrance to Monster Mansion where the lava is... so where is the puzzle board to open up this stage, how do I get to it?

Answer: It's near Freezeezy Peak, in that section with the witch where you enter to get to that lava place, there is a ramp that leads a good distance up above the witch statue. The first tunnel to the left up there leads you into water. Go to the left through the hole and then through the next hole to the left in that area. This brings you to a third area, where a couple platforms sit. Double jump from one to the next until you find the puzzle picture.

---

Question: I've been in the room where the entrance is to the Click Clock Wood stage, where is the thing you stand on to put the puzzle piece in the board? I can't find it anywhere... I read several posts that said look for a leaf but I can't find it.

Answer: You can't get into the Click Clock Wood stage until you pass the Monster Mansion and Rusty Bucket Bay levels. After that you won't have any problem finding the switch.

---

Question: I went into the water tunnel that's located at the room where the spider webs are, swam past the mine and pirahnas, and came to the last room. How do I get up to the top where the puzzle is located?

Answer: First of all, you have to have located the Mad Monster Mansion stage. A ways to the left of the entrance to the mansion there is a gate. Beak bust the lock, then enter the mansion to find Mumbo, who turns you into a pumpkin. Exit the stage as a pumpkin and go to the area where you beak busted the lock. Follow the path to where you come to a house. Mumbo should be in there so make him change you back. There will be a tomb in there, which inside, has a thing to butt stomp on. That will make the water rise to level one.

Next, head for the place where you activated the Mad Monster Mansion door, and go to the place where you see a ship above you. That should be the second area where you entered to get to the MMM jiggy inserter. The water should be raised enough to get on the ship. Go all the way to the left of the area where a box with the Rare sign sits. Butt stomp it, and the water should be raised to a second level.
