2. Requires Mad Monster Mansion book.
3. Requires Rusty Bucket Bay book

Cheato Book 1

This book is located behind the entrance to Bubblegloop Swamp, near the jigsaw puzzle for Freezeezy Peak. When you first walk through the pipe that leads to the puzzle board for Freezeasy peak and the second pipe to the spell book, a block of ice will be covering the second pipe. First, get the wading boots in the pipe near the beginning of the Bubblegloop Swamp area. Go through the pipe as Banjo and break the block of ice. Then, have Mumbo Jumbo transform you into the alligator in Bubblegloop Swamp and enter the pipe that leads to the spell book Information in this section was contributed by Nick Zissimopoulos.

Cheato Book 2

Transform into a pumpkin in the Mad Monster Mansion level with Mumbo's help. Leave the skull and follow the winding path to Brentilda's platform. Enter the small hole and follow the path to the spell book.

Cheato Book 3

Find the entrance to Rusty Bucket Bay. Locate the cave with three pipes to the right of this location. Open the middle pipe and enter. Activate the "321" switch that is inside to raise the water level. Jump into the water and quickly move to the right. The book is located in the cave to the right.

Alternate game selection screens:

The game will randomly play a humorous saved game animation. Rare has confirmed that any code that involves pressing A when the fish in the bowl does something is false.

Hint: Breaking the Click Clock Wood boulder:

It is possible to break the boulder blocking the Beaver's hole in Click Clock Wood on the Spring level. Stand on the ledge above the rock, then find the correct angle just to the right of the rock. Drop eggs onto the boulder to break it open. Swim into the hole on this level to find some glitches, such as the Beaver still asking to move the now destroyed rock. Information in this section was contributed by Nick Zissimopoulos.

Hint: Extra lives in Mr. Vile's games:

With Mumbo's help, turn into an alligator in the Bubblegloop Swamp. Then, enter the nose of the giant alligator statue. Beat Mr. Vile in his games to get the puzzle piece, then walk out and re-enter for a new challenge. Beat Mr. Vile in his three games to collect extra lives. Note: You will lose a life if any of the games are lost.

Hint: Refill extra lives:

Complete the Treasure Trove Cove area. You may now return Treasure Trove Cove at any time. Go to Banjo's house, press C-Up at the picture of Bottles, then press Start. Leave the house and all the extra lives will re-appear. The closest ones are located behind the water fall and on top of the house.

Hint: Hidden magic token:

In Clanker's Cavern, do a back flip on the very edge of where Banjo enters the area to find a magic token.

Hint: Get Mumbo's transformations without using any Mumbo Tokens:

This trick will allow Mumbo's transformations to be activated without using any Mumbo Tokens. Start a new file in the game. Play through the game until five Mumbo Tokens have been collected and have access to Treasure Trove Cove; but do not give Mumbo any tokens yet. Get the Sandcastle jiggy piece. Return to Banjo's house in Spiral Mountain and complete the Bottles puzzles to earn the washing machine code. Enable the code in Treasure Trove Cove to become the washing machine. Return to Mumbo's Mountain and enter Mumbo's hut. He will say, "Banjo has plenty tokens, stand on skull and press B for mighty Mumbo magic!" Stand on his platform and press B to become a termite. The sign will disappear, the spell will become free, and Banjo will still have the same number of tokens.
