Stop 'n' Swop cheats: unlock the eggs and the ice key. Rare never revealed these: most likely they were going to be revealed in Banjo-Tooie. There's no penalty for entering these. The effects are permanent and are saved in your file.
In addition, the effects of unlocking and obtaining the secret eggs and key are permanently saved across ALL game files, so if you're using those codes on your real copy of Banjo-Kazooie, make sure you have all your gaming friends watching, as I'm pretty sure you can only erase those items with a game enhancer device.

(2) Bottles' bonuses: obtained from Bottles minigames after completing the game, these cheats change your character model. Only usable once unlocked. The effects can be reversed by entering NOBONUS or by restarting. Only the unlocked/locked status of these cheats, not the effects, are saved.
I think that the washing machine form is more than just a cosmetic change. I recall going around Bubblegoop Swamp, being unaffected by the piranha waters, but also being unable to climb the tall, thin plants.

I think those are just bugs that Rare didn't have time to fix. When you turn into a washing machine, Mumbo says something along the lines of "This is black magic, don't go complaining to Mumbo if not everything works right".
I think the changes were made on purpose because the washing machine doesn't have hands or feet. I noticed it also can't put on the wading boots or the running shoes. Wading boots aren't a problem because the washer isn't hurt by hazardous floors anyway, but the speed shoes are needed for a couple of Jiggies at least, so Mumbo was probably warning you about that too.

I don't know if this is new or ancient, with precise angles and a good jump, you can skip bottles talking to you at the start. Too bad you don't get your moves and when you get to the top of the hill after talking to bottles, the game crashes. I'm curious as to whether or not skipping bottles' is possible without the flappy thing.
Kyman, I don't think skipping the very first bottles has been brought up here before but it wouldn't serve any purpose. Even if it didn't crash and you were given the six starting moves just by entering the lair, the way to the lair would be so much slower without rolling, flapping, and a high jump that it wouldn't make up for the few seconds of skipped speech. :/
I just saw the new SDA run and despite numerous mistakes and backtracking, that route ends up less than a minute longer than the currently published TAS.

Really? Sami's TAS clocked in at 2:24. the run at SDA clocked in at 2:40. that sounds like 14 minutes difference to me, and that's not including cutscenes. any timing differences. These include cutscenes, and the such.
EDIT: It appears that SDA used the in-game timer. In which case Sami beats the SDA run by 40 minutes.

is that with considering different timing of SDA and TASvids? if so then less than a minute difference is extreme

SDA run VS TAS
Gruntildas's Lair: 34.52 VS 25.58
Spiral Mountain: 2:13 VS 2:03
Mumbo's Mountain: 6.03 VS 5.08
Treasure Trove Cove: 9.14 VS 7.01
Clanker's Cavern: 11.08 VS 8.45
Bubblegloop Swamp: 16.06 VS 12.23
Freezeezy Peak: 15.15 VS 12.04
Gobi's Valley: 13.18 VS 10.03
Mad Monster Mansion: 12.35 VS 9.22
Rusty Bucket Bay: 15.38 VS 9.37
Click Clock Wood: 23.45 VS 18.04
TOTAL: 2.40.05 VS 2.00.28
You only compared Mumbo's Mountain or something?
No, I compared the stated run times: 2:24:32.63 for the TAS and 2:40:05 for SDA
but I just noticed that the description page said the in-game timer read 2:00:28 in the TAS and that when I watched the SDA run, the length (single-segment, so no funny SDA demerits involved here) of the video was over 192 minutes, while the in-game timer was just over 160 minutes...
sorry, I guess the route actually can't be improved that much, I mean the SDA runner's missteps may have been able to account for 16 minutes but not 48
It's not necessary to get all the jigsaw pieces in an any% TAS.
Would it be possible to glitch past the 810 note door (like the star doors in Mario 64)? If so, you could finish the game with 79 jigsaw pieces and skipping Click Clock Wood.
