Tiptup is a recurring NPC character in the Banjo-Kazooie series that, along with Banjo, also made his debut in Diddy Kong Racing in 1997. However, Tiptup was originally the name of a turtle in Dream: Land of Giants, the game that would eventually morph into Banjo-Kazooie. Halfway through the development of BK, the development team behind Diddy Kong Racing (or Pro-Am 64 as it was called before Diddy Kong was included later on) were in need of names for their racers, one of which happened to be a turtle, and thus it was given the Tiptup name. Tiptup was then incorporated into future Rare games like Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, when Banjo either runs with the Talon Trot or uses his down special Grenade Egg, a flap on the bottom of Banjo’s backpack opens up to use said move. According to Steve Mayles (the original character designer for Banjo & Kazooie) on Twitter, this is a concept that he wanted to initially use in the original Banjo-Kazooie, but limitations of the Nintendo 64 prevented it.

Inside the game's files is an unused song called "Mumbo's Rain Dance.".

There's an unused underwater variation of the Freezeezy Peak theme which cannot be heard in-game as the water in that level is too cold (and too shallow) to swim in. Even if the player travels through the icy water submerged after having been turned into a walrus by Mumbo, the music still won't change.

Before Rare decided to use Banjo to replace the character Edison (the main character of the canceled Project Dream project that would later become Banjo-Kazooie), they wanted the main character to be a rabbit.

An early idea for the game was to replace a majority of the dialogue in the game with "Bubblespeak". Thought bubbles would appear above the character's heads featuring an image inside, either still or moving, conveying any advice, warning or info that they're trying to tell. This was to make the dialogue in the game more uni-lingual and funnier.

In an early development version of Mad Monster Mansion, there was a painting in the dining room of the windmill from "Twelve Tales: Conker 64" - The game that would later become Conker's Bad Fur Day.

The original sound for collecting an Egg changed in development. It's not know why it was scrapped, but it might have been because the sound became rather annoying when collecting large amounts of eggs.

The music for Gruntilda's Lair strongly resembles an old song called "Teddy Bear's Picnic". The composer, Grant Kirkhope, has acknowledged that he probably was thinking of Teddy Bear's Picnic when he wrote Gruntilda's Lair, but doesn't remember it being a conscious decision.

Inside Banjo's house is a painting of Banjo & Kazooie walking through a forest. This is an image of a world that was originally intended to appear in the game; Fungus Forest. The level wasn't completed in time, so it was put into Donkey Kong 64.

In an early E3 video, it shows that Banjo and Kazooie could fly at any time they wanted without the use of a flight pad. This was most likely removed to limit the amount of area the player could cover at one time.

If you input too many "illegal" cheats in the sandcastle in Treasure Trove Cove, Gruntilda will permanently delete your save file. This won't come into effect until you have saved and quit or turned off the console though.

When you collect a Mumbo Token, a sound effect of Mumbo saying "Ikkum Bokum" plays. This phrase (and most of Mumbo's speech aside from "Oominaka" and a few other sound effects) are all made up of randomly-arranged soundbites. When these soundbites are arranged in the correct order, they say "Come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough."
