Trivia

 * It is unknown how at the beginning of Banjo-Kazooie, Bottles knows Tooty's name. It would seem they are friends; however, she refers to him as Mr. Mole, implying that she does not know him very well. Also, it seems that Bottles, Banjo, and Kazooie have never met before. This is evident when Bottles introduces himself to the duo. If Bottles and Tooty are friends, then it is strange that he and the heroic duo have not met before.
 * In Banjoland, in Nuts &amp; Bolts, the back of Bottles's clip board appears to be a picture of himself in his orange jacket.
 * In Banjo-Tooie, Rare had planned to make a multiplayer, as Bottles being in a devil spirit instead of his regular ghost. He would be able to possess enemies and the second player can control them. Although this was scrapped for unknown reasons, it can still be found and used by a Gameshark code.
 * In the Beta Banjo-Kazooie, Bottles had black goggles.
 * One of the nicknames Bottles had in Banjo-Kazooie is the name of his brother, Jamjars.
