Cheat code

Cheat codes are a recurring feature in the Banjo-Kazooie series that can be unlocked and entering, allowing for a variety of things to happen.

Banjo-Kazooie
In Banjo-Kazooie, cheat codes can be entered by using the Beak Buster move on the letters inside Treasure Trove Cove's Sandcastle. Most of them can be learnt from either Bottles in Bottles' Moving Picture Game or Cheato in Gruntilda's Lair.

However, some are hidden and never taught in-game. To use these cheats, Banjo must first type out "CHEAT", with Bigbutt's mooing sound playing as he spells out each letter. He must then type out the full cheat code with no indication that he's doing it right until he's finished, at which point a higher-pitched mooing plays. Using these cheats on the Xbox Live Arcade version of the game disables various things, thus discouraging their use.

Stop 'n' Swop items
These cheats do not need to be used in the XBLA version...the game has essentially been locked into having had these cheats entered by default. Also, in the N64 version, with no "factory reset" option available short of physically tampering with the cartridge, these cheats are permanent and persist across saves.

Use three of the following cheat codes, and Gruntilda deletes the save file which they were used in. Upon successfully entering the third cheat code, Bottles will ask for a confirmation of whether the player wants to use it or not. While the effect isn't immediate, leaving and re-entering will cause it to be gone.

Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, cheat codes can be entered within the Code Chamber of Mayahem Temple. After a code is entered there, it appears on a list shown on a signpost which allows Banjo and Kazooie to be toggle them on or off. In the game, Cheato tells the duo different cheats as they retrieve his pages. Heggy, the hen in the Isle O' Hags, also tells the duo about one cheat code after the Blue Mystery Egg is hatched, and Gruntilda in Madame Grunty's Tent also has a random chance of giving specific cheat codes when visited. To enter a cheat without first learning it from Cheato, Banjo needs to put "CHEATO" behind them and the codes themselves backwards (for example, the cheat code "FEATHERS" would be entered "CHEATOSREHTAEF"), and when he does so, Jamjars warns him about how saving will be turned off and scores won't be uploaded to the Leaderboards (in the Xbox Live Arcade port).
