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 2008 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 & Bolts'', for example: the Ice Key gives you flags that have the [[wikipedia:Union Flag|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).

Unlike the original Banjo-Tooie the Stop 'n' Swop items are not available in the game unless they were collected in [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA)]] in which case the player starts with the items already collected. (The SnS items will be available in Banjo-Kazooie once you have a save file in Banjo-Tooie or Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts. This includes the Nuts and Bolts Demo.) [[Heggy]] will hatch all the eggs which will unlock the three awards from the original ([[Breegull Bash]], [[Jinjo]] as a multiplayer character and [[Homing Eggs]]) along with a gamer pic, a Xbox theme and [[Stop 'n' Swop II]]. The Ice Key is still used to access the Mega-Glowbo.

*In ''Grabbed by the Ghoulies'', there is a chalkboard that reads "Collect Ice Key. Collect 4 eggs. Open Secret Level." This has been presumed no more than a way to mock fans, but it is unknown whether it's fake.

*It should be noted that, although only 3 mystery eggs and the ice key were used in Tooie, the Stop 'n' Swop fanfare is played when collecting all 6 eggs along with the key. This could suggest that all 6 eggs were originally planned for use as part of the process.

*Stop 'n' Swop has been mentioned various times in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]. [[Bottles]] pretends to offer the secret of Stop 'n' Swop for 6000 [[notes]] (despite the fact that there aren't 6000 notes in the game), but steals your notes and doesn't tell you anything, claiming that he'd have to kill you. [[Trophy Thomas]] accuses you of cheating using Stop 'n' swop at one of his challenges. A few mystery eggs and a fake [[ice key]] are in [[Banjoland]]. [[Lord of Games]] asks a question about Stop 'n' Swop during the trivia, asking what failed connection from [[Banjo-Kazooie]] to [[Banjo-Tooie]] that some fans still wont shut up about. Paintings of the eggs and an imprint of the [[Ice Key]] around [[Showdown Town]] and [[Boggy's Gym]]. These will give parts when the eggs are collected in Banjo-Kazooie on the XBOX Live Arcade. (Beacon, [[Roysten|Goldfish]], Mole-on-a-Pole, Googly Eyes, Fluffy Dice, Flag (2x), & Disco Ball)
