Cheat code
Cheat Codes in the Banjo-Kazooie series are usually in the form of word or sentences entered in special locations, often inhancing the abilities of Banjo and Kazooie. Some codes can be learned within the game itself, such as codes given by Cheato or other characters.
Banjo-Kazooie
Cheats from Banjo-Kazooie can be entered on the Sandcastle floor in Treasure Trove Cove once the Jiggy has been collected. With the exception of the codes learned from Cheato and the Stop 'n' Swop codes, the effects of most of these codes is temporary and they must be reentered after quitting and opening the file again.
Warning: With the exception of the codes given to you by Cheato, using cheat codes in the XBLA version of Banjo Kazooie disables saving and does not post your score onto the leaderboards. Once the code is entered, Bottles will ask you to confirm whether or not you really want to use the cheat. The codes given to you by Bottles will not affect your ranking on the leaderboards.

Other
Codes that are not found within the game and can be used any time. Many of them are most likely debug codes implemented to help game testers work out bugs in the game quickly. The word CHEAT must be entered at the beginning of each code, and a moo will be heard with each letter of the word CHEAT. No sound effects will play while entering the codes themselves except for a final moo when the code is completed. Remember these will stop working once you save and quit.
