'''Cheato''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].

==Biography==
Cheato is the magical spell book of [[Gruntilda]]. His main role is to provide [[cheat code]]s for [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] to use against [[Gruntilda]] in the first two games.

===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
Cheato makes his debut appearance in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. Banjo and Kazooie encounter him while exploring [[Gruntilda's Lair]]. Cheato is unhappy with [[Gruntilda]]'s abusive behavior toward him, so he decides to abandon her and help Banjo and Kazooie instead. Cheato can be found in three different areas throughout the lair, which are hard to reach through regular means or require the use of a certain transformation. Each time Banjo and Kazooie find Cheato, he rewards them with a magic spell, or cheat, which allows them to significantly increase the maximum capacity of [[Blue Egg|egg]]s and [[feather]]s that they can carry. Gruntilda threatened to destroy Cheato for helping the duo, but she was defeated before any damage could be done. 

These are the three cheats that Cheato provides to Banjo and Kazooie:
*'''BLUE EGGS''' - Near the [[Freezeezy Peak]] puzzle, Banjo must enter a tunnel as a [[Crocodile Banjo|crocodile]] after destroying the ice block.
*'''RED FEATHERS''' - In the lava room, follow the small winding path to a small tunnel as the [[Pumpkin Banjo|pumpkin]].
*'''GOLD FEATHERS''' - In the [[Rusty Bucket Bay]] entrance room, Banjo must raise the water level to 3 and then go to the alcove before time runs out.

===''Banjo-Tooie''===
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Cheato is found in the remains of [[Gruntilda's Lair]] in [[Spiral Mountain]]. Gruntilda ripped out most of Cheato's pages because he provided cheats to Banjo and Kazooie in ''Banjo-Kazooie''. His pages are appropriately known as [[Cheato Page]]s, which are scattered around the [[Isle o' Hags]]. For every five pages that Banjo and Kazooie return to Cheato, he gives them one cheat. Banjo and Kazooie can activate cheats in [[Mayahem Temple]]'s [[Code Room]]. Furthermore, the duo can input "CHEATO", followed by any known cheat spelled backwards, to activate it regardless of whether the cheat has been unlocked or not.

===''Banjo-Pilot''===
In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', Cheato has lost his pages again. The player can acquire them from finish races, and return them to Cheato in exchange for unlockable characters and features.

===''Nuts & Bolts''===

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Cheato makes a cameo appearance in [[Banjoland]] as an exhibit.

==Trivia==
[[File:Book DK64.png|thumb|150px|The Book enemy from ''Donkey Kong 64''.]]
*There are enemies who resemble Cheato in ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong 64|Donkey Kong 64]]'', [[mariowiki:Book|Books]]. However, Cheato has green eyes while Books have purple eyes.
*In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Cheato speaks in {{wp|anastrophe}}, although in ''Banjo-Tooie'', Cheato no longer jumbles his sentences.
*In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', whenever Banjo and Kazooie are near Cheato, a certain music tune plays. Once Tooty has been rescued, the duo can visit Cheato, and if the player selects "Save and quit" from the pause menu, the theme does not stop playing.
