Rusty Bucket Bay

Unfortunately, Banjo has not escaped murky waters yet. Now, this time, Banjo and Kazooie have to explore a giant cargo ship before they can head on to the ninth and final world. Rusty Bucket Bay is the eighth world accessed from Gruntilda's Lair in Banjo-Kazooie. This world features poisonous water that one can only spend a very limited amount of time in. For those who are fine with this, good on you. For those who hate the feature, try going back to Treasure Trove Cove, and draining the small lake that holds the sandcastle. When in the sandcastle first spell out CHEAT by pounding the letters. Then enter this lengthy code GIVE THE BEAR LOTS OF AIR with no spaces or punctuation (duh). This will give Banjo unlimited air, enabling you to complete Rusty Bucket Bay with ease.


 * Note: the cheat will run out when you exit the game, but can just be repeated next time you play it.

 * 8) Just behind the ship's propellers. Hit both propeller switches in the engine room to stop them from spinning and reach the Jiggy before the time runs out. Dubbed the hardest Jiggy in the game due to the time limit, the need to navigate through the engine room and the poisonous water.

Trivia

 * In order to reach the jigsaw puzzle for Rusty Bucket Bay, Banjo and Kazooie must first flood the room containing the entrance. In order to open the level without flooding the room (though it is required to reach Click Clock Wood), the player must enter one of several risky cheat codes. You can enter the code: WHY NOT TAKE A TRIP INSIDE GRUNTYS RUSTY SHIP to unlock the level early, but you still must raise the water level one (via crypt) in order to reach it. Don't use too many codes, or you'll face Grunty's Code Vengeance
 * Rumor suggests that Captain Blackeye captains the Rusty Bucket, but it is more likely he would captain a traditional pirate ship as per his original role.
 * On the promotional video given to Nintendo Power subscribers prior to the game's release, narrator Jon Lovitz states that the name of the ship is the H.M.S. Gruntilda. This was either misinformation or an affectionate pseudonym, as the name Rusty Bucket can be seen on the stern of the ship in both Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (though the ship in Banjoland is only a model).
 * Beneath the Rusty Bucket's name on the stern is the name of the city Twycross, England where Rare live.
 * In Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, you can see the Rusty Bucket floating across the ocean in Showdown Town. Not forgetting to mention it also appears in Banjoland as an exhibit.
 * Rusty Bucket Bay is commonly cited as the most complex, frustrating and unenjoyable level in Banjo-Kazooie, even more so then Click Clock Wood which is arguably more difficult. This is certainly not untrue and can be backed-up by the many annoyances player face such as tough enemies, the hazardous water, engine room, difficult fight against Boss Boom Box, difficult challenge of finding most collectibles and many other difficulties. Rusty Bucket Bay, however challenging, is still a very fun level and the notes and jiggies are spread far and wide.
