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

==Overview==

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 learned 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.

*NOBONUS - Reverts the effects of any of the cheats learned from Bottles if they are active.

*CHEATNOWBANJOWILLBEABLETOSEEITON[[Nabnut|NABNUT]]S[[Squirrel's House|TABLE]] - Allows the [[Yellow Mystery Egg]] in [[Click Clock Wood]] to be obtained.

*CHEATAN[[Health bar|ENERGYBAR]]TOGETYOUFAR - Gives Banjo and Kazooie the maximum 8 HP, even if they don't yet have enough Hollow Honeycombs. However, if the Red Honeycombs are on, they'll take 8 HP of damage instead.

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.

*CHEATTHISCOMESINHANDYTOOPENSOMEWHERESANDY - Opens the entrance to [[Treasure Trove Cove]]...which makes absolutely no sense, as the sandcastle is in Treasure Trove Cove, thus Banjo will have to have already opened the entrance legitimately to get there.

*CHEATGORIGHTONTHROUGHNOTEDOORTWO - Opens the 180 [[Note Door]].

*CHEATTHEYCAUSETROUBLEBUTNOWTHEYRERUBBLE - Destroys every breakable wall.

*CHEATDONTDESPAIRTHETREEJIGGYPODIUMISNOWTHERE - Causes Click Clock Wood's [[Jigsaw Picture]]'s [[Jiggy Pad]] without the [[Jiggy Pad Switch]] ever being pressed.

*NESTKING - Allows Banjo and Kazooie to hold an unlimited number of eggs and feathers. Instead of saying the actual amount of items the duo has collected, the main menu simply states "LOTS." This code is hinted by a signpost outside [[Jiggywiggy's Temple] which reads "An [[egg cache|egg container]] followed by [[King Jingaling|Jingaling]]?," and the same warning his given by Jamjars when a code not yet given by Cheato is entered.
