Difference between revisions of "Stop 'n' Swop"

Of all the secrets and mysteries in the [[Banjo-Kazooie series]], none are more tantalizing or more talked about than '''Stop 'n' Swop'''.  More rumors have circulated about it than about the large doors at the top of [[Gruntilda's Lair]], and although most of them - both the silly and the sensible - are false, there are some truths in the clutter. The mystery involves six brightly colored "Mystery Eggs" and a large [[Ice Key|key made of ice]] found in [[Banjo-Kazooie]], and their alleged use in its sequel, [[Banjo-Tooie]]. It has also been revealed by the Rare team at E3 08 that [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|the version of Banjo-Kazooie being released on the Xbox live arcade]] will implement the Stop 'n' Swop feature as it was originally intended; however, it will be used in correspondence to [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]].  As a player collects the Stop 'n' Swop items in the arcade version, they unlock rare vehicle parts in Nuts and Bolts, for example: the Ice Key gives you flags that have the Union Jack on them.  The crates are hidden around Showdown Town but will appear by a drawing of that certain item on a wall or roof.  Another item lets you put Roysten and his fishbowl on your vehicle (needed for the LOG Banjo).
