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.

without transforming at Mumbo's hut in any world.
2. Collect the Jigsaw piece from the Underwater Castle in Treasure
Trove Cove.
3. Enter the sand castle after lowering the water.

exit thecastle, then reenter and start all over with CHEAT followed by
the rest of the code.

HINTS AND
PLAYING TIPS
BUTTON CHEATS
AND SHORT-CUTS
Safer fall: Press Z immediately before hitting the ground from a
fall.
Jump further: Press Attack during any jump.
Swim faster: Press A + B to swim faster.
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.
DEFEATING HINTS
Bees: 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.
Snowmen: Use the following trick to kill the snowball-throwing
snowmen with no flight pads nearby. Go up to one of the snowmen so you
are almost touching him, then Talon Trot away very quickly. He will
not throw a snowball at you for about two to five seconds. Snowmen do
not throw snowballs at you when you are directly next to or in front
of them.
Gruntilda: When DingPot takes you to the roof of the lair,
Grutilda will say another rhyme about winning, then she will swoop
down and try to dive bomb you. When you hear her laugh, move out of
the way as far as possible. She will keep this up. When her broom
stalls, Rat-a-Tat-Rap her (A and B). Every time you do so, she will
fire a fireball. Zig-zag to avoid them. Repeat this until she throws a
ball that homes in on you. When you hear the whirring sound, turn
invincible. Note: She will dive for more times the more you hit her.
AVOIDING FALL
DAMAGE
Hint One: Enable the "Unlimited gold feathers" code.
Activate them before you jump from a ledge. You can do this in Mad
Monster Mansion on the beams on the top of the "church" room
with the hand thing, and not lose any health after falling. This can
also be used to walk on the rosebushes in Mad Monster Mansion.
Hint Two: To avoid getting hurt while falling down a steep
cliff, put the Wonder Wing on before your jump. Hold Z and you will
not get hurt when you land.
Hint Three: To save your life when falling off a cliff or
having only one honeycomb, pause game play and turn off the Nintendo
64 before you die.
TRANSPORTING POT
LOCATIONS
Purple Pots: The first is located near the Treasure Trove Cove
Puzzle.
The second is found close to the note door near Freezy Peak. You will
first have to break the web with Eggs.
Green Pots: The first is found close to the second Purple Pot.
Go up the ramp close to the tunnel that leads to Freezy Peak. Keep
going straight until you see a web covering a hole.
The second is located near the entrance to Rusty Bucket Bay. You have
to raise the water to level 2.
Red Pots: The first is located in the tunnel near Treasure
Trove Cove and Clanker's Cavern.
MAD BOTTLES
Hint One: Start a new game and go to Bottles the mole's first
hole. Talk to him and press B when he tries to give you a move.
Hint Two: At the first molehill outside of Banjo's house,
repeatedly try to talk to Bottles. After about five times he will
threaten to erase your file (which he will not actually do).
BUBBLE GLOOP
SWAMP
Get across the green ooze: When you get to the Bubble Gloop
Swamp you will notice it is very hard to get across the green ooze it
contains piranha. Find the boots when you step into the first room.
You must go to the side where a weird part of the door appears. Run
along the side and avoid the piranha. Bottles will be waiting for you
at the end. He will teach you how to use the boots. Note: The boots
only last for 20 seconds.
Translucent Banjo: Get the boots in Bubble Gloop 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.
CLANKER'S CAVERN
Hidden magic token: Do a back flip on the very edge of where
Banjo enters the area to find a magic token.
CLICK CLOCK WOOD
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.
Breaking the 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.
Extra life: Use this trick to get that extra life on the
entrance to Click Clock Wood. Go directly behind the entrance, but to
the right of the back of the level. Do this as slowly and quietly as
you can and you will hear the sound of Banjo walking on a pad. This is
a shock-spring pad and when you jump on it you will jump up high
enough to reach the top of the entrance to the level and get the extra
life. Note: You cannot see the pad because of the long grass -- you
can only hear Banjo walking on it (near the back, on the right).
FREEZY PEAK
Present locations: (1) Inside the big Christmas tree with the
Twinklies near it. (2) On the giant snowman's nose. (3) Climb down
from the location for the snowman's nose present. Go down the scarf
that is not that steep. When you reach the bottom, slide down the
steepest hill. The last present is on a small "island" that
is surrounded by ice near it.
MAD MONSTER
MANSION
Hidden room: Go to the graveyard and walk around until you see a
window with Banjo-Kazooie's picture on it. Break the window to find
dozens of eggs and feathers.
TREASURE TROVE
COVE
Living Mine in Jiggy: The Jiggy in Treasure Trove Cove near the
orange Jinjo has a Living Mine in it. Hop into the water until the
Living Mine comes toward you. Then, hop out of the water and shoot
eggs backward. The maximum eggs required to defeat the Living Mine is
five.
Kill Snackers: To kill Snackers the shark, shoot five eggs at
it. Or, drag it to shore and jump while using Golden Feathers on him.
You can do the same thing to kill piranha fishes. The shark gives you
three honeycombs and the fish gives you one honeycomb.
GENERAL HINTS
AND PLAYING TIPS
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.
Extra jigsaw puzzle: Look at the portrait of Bottles the Mole
at the beginning of the game. You will get an extra jigsaw puzzle
game. Solving these puzzles will earn you extra cheats for the game.
Spell Banjo-Kazooie without time in the Sand Castle: Enter the
Sand Castle with the crab. Enter the "B" when he first says
something, then when he gets done put in the finishing letters "anjoKazooie"
and the time will not be on the screen.
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.
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.
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.
