B-K Cartridges

The Secret Banjo-Kazooie Cartridges
There are 3 not very well hidden B-K Game Cartridges found in Banjo-Tooie. When smashed, the duo gains secret items that make their adventure easier. Two game cartridges are hidden in Spiral Mountain, and 1 is hidden in Jinjo Village.

Nintendo 64 version
 Game Pak 1: Spiral Mountain

Moves Needed: Airborne Egg Aiming, Grenade Eggs, Hatch, Split-Up Pads

Instructions:  Climb to the top of the Spiral Mountain and take to the skies on the Flight Pad. While flying, shoot a Grenade Egg at the metal gate that is somewhere high up near Grunty's Lair. Once the gate is gone, fly into the alcove and land. There will be a B-K Cartridge running around in there, trying to avoid you. Break it with a well aimed Rat-a-Tat Rap and you will get a Mystery Egg. Take this egg to Heggy the Hen at her Egg Shed and use the Split-Up Pads to become Kazooie and hatch the egg to get either the Skinny Bird Bash move or the Homing Eggs cheat, which one you will get is random, but you will get both eventually.

Game Pak 2: Spiral Mountain

Moves Needed: Grenade Eggs, Grip Grab, Hatch, Split-Up Pads

Instructions:  Once again, climb to the top of the Spiral Mountain and use the Flight Pad. Fly over to the cliff where the waterfall is coming from and land there. There should be a door that Banjo and Kazooie can walk into. Inside, there is a very well hidden Grip Grab ledge. Find it, and climb along it to enter a secret room. Then, smash the B-K Cartridge with a well aimed Rat-a-Tat Rap, or by just rolling, and you will get another Mystery Egg. Take it to Heggy the Hen at her Egg Shed and use the Split-Up Pads to become Kazooie and hatch the egg to get either the Skinny Bird Bash move or the Homing Eggs cheat, which ever one you didn't get from the first game pak, as they are random.

Game Pak 3:  Jinjo Village

Moves Needed:  Grip Grab, Talon Torpedo

Instructions:  Go to the sandy area towards the back of Jinjo Village, stand on the rocks, and Grip Grab onto the ledge there. Climb to the right, killing the monsters as you go, and climb up into the alcove. Once inside, you will see another B-K Cartridge fleeing for dear life. Kill it with a move of your choice and you will get the Ice key! Visit the Ice key page for instructions on what to do with this mysterious giant key.
