| ==Location and uses==
| | The '''Ice Key''', as its name implies, is a large key made of ice. It is one of the players in the [[Stop 'n' Swop]] mystery, first being found in [[Banjo-Kazooie]], and again in [[Banjo-Tooie]] where it can be utilized. |
| The Ice Key is one of the seven [[Stop 'n' Swop]] items, aside from the six [[Mystery Egg]]s. It is a key made entirely of ice. | |

| [[File:Ice Key B-K location.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Banjo finds the Ice Key.]]
| | In Banjo-Kazooie, the Ice Key is found in [[Wozza|Wozza's]] cave in a large alcove, although the room is blocked by an unbreakable transparent wall. Entering the code "CHEAT NOW YOU CAN SEE A NICE ICE KEY WHICH YOU CAN HAVE FOR FREE" on the Sandcastle floor in [[Treasure Trove Cove]] will dissolve the wall, allowing the player to get the key; however, as with the other Stop 'n' Swop items, it has no apparent function in Banjo-Kazooie. |
| {{Quote|Cool... An enormous Ice Key! We should keep this [[Stop 'n' Swop]] item for later.|[[Kazooie]]|[[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie]]}}
| |
| In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', its first appearance, the Ice Key appears in a large alcove in [[Wozza's Cave]], although it is blocked off by an indestructible wall of ice. | |
|
| |
|
| To dissolve the wall, [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] must enter the [[Sandcastle]] of [[Treasure Trove Cove]] and enter "CHEAT NOW YOU CAN SEE A NICE ICE KEY WHICH YOU CAN HAVE FOR FREE" (without spaces). When the duo obtain the Ice Key, it appears in the Stop 'n' Swop menu. However, the Ice Key does not have any other purpose in the game.
| | In the [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade version]] entering the cheat, will cause saving to stop and prevent your scores being loaded to the leaderboard, however having a [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA)]] or [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|Nuts & Bolts]] save file will make it accessible. |
|
| |
|
| In the [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade release of ''Banjo-Kazooie'']], the method for obtaining the Ice Key was changed. Here, it cannot be obtained unless the console has a save file for the [[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade release of ''Banjo-Tooie'']] or ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. | | ==Banjo-Tooie== |
| | In Banjo-Tooie, it is possible to obtain the Ice Key without the use of cheats. In [[Jinjo Village]], just to the right of the entrance, there is a small icy cavern which can be accessed using the [[Grip Grab]]. There is a [[Banjo-Kazooie Game Pak]] inside which will yield the precious Ice Key when defeated. However in [[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Tooie (XBLA]] the Game Pak contains the [[Gold Mystery Egg]] and the Ice Key will automatically be in your collected items if it was obtained in [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA]]. |

| | Take the Ice Key to the Waterfall Cavern in [[Glitter Gulch Mine]] and use the [[Talon Torpedo]] learned from [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] on the [[Kazooie]] boulder in the water. Swim through the tunnel that opens up to a large room on the Icy Side of [[Hailfire Peaks]] containing a gigantic ice safe. The key can be used to unlock the safe, revealing the powerful [[Mega-Glowbo]] which can be brought to [[Humba Wumba]] in the Pine Grove to transform Kazooie into the fearsome [[Dragon Kazooie]]. |

| ===''Banjo-Tooie''=== | | ==Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts== |
| In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Banjo and Kazooie can obtain the Ice Key by destroying a [[Banjo-Kazooie Game Pak]] enemy in [[Jinjo Village]]. After obtaining it, the duo must enter the Waterfall Cavern of [[Glitter Gulch Mine]], destroy a [[Talon Torpedo Door]], and swim through the tunnel leading to the icy portion of [[Hailfire Peaks]]. The Ice Key is used to unlock a large safe with the powerful [[Mega-Glowbo]]. | | In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, if the Ice Key is collected in [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA]] it will activate a crate on the roof of Boggy's Gym. This crate gives you the British flag. |
|
| |
|
| In the Xbox Live Arcade release of ''Banjo-Tooie'', the Ice Key can no longer be obtained by defeating the Banjo-Kazooie Game Pak. Instead, it needs to be collected in the Xbox Live Arcade release of ''Banjo-Kazooie'', where it will automatically be transfered to this game. The original location of the Ice Key in ''Banjo-Tooie'' was replaced here with the [[Mystery Egg#Gold Mystery Egg|Gold Mystery Egg]].
| | The Ice Key can also be seen in [[Banjoland]] stuck in the melted Snowman and in the [[Terrarium of Terror]] where it is must be collected as a Jinjo Fetch item. The Jinjo says he will "swop" the Ice Key for a Jinjo Token and after receiving it says that he will ponder over the mystery of it. |

|
| ===''Nuts & Bolts''===
| | {{Stop 'n' Swop}} |
| In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', there is an imprint of the Ice Key on [[Boggy's Gym]]. If the Ice Key was obtained in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', a [[Mumbo Crate]] appears on the roof of the gym. By taking it to [[Mumbo's Motors]], the player unlocks the British flag for a vehicle customization option.
| |
| | |
| The Ice Key itself makes a cameo in the melted Snowman of [[Banjoland]], and can also be found in garbage next to [[Banjo's House]].
| |
| | |
| In the [[Terrarium of Terror]], the Jinjo Fetch of Act 4 involves getting the Ice Key found near the sleeping aliens underwater and bringing it back to a [[Jinjo|Yellow Jinjo]] who says he will "swop" the Ice Key in exchange for a [[Jinjo Token]]. If the challenge is failed, the Jinjo says he "might as well stop looking and swop the key for something else," and proceeds to ask where the "funny looking-eggs" went. After receiving the key, he says he can go back to his "obsession with the pointless and frustrating mystery of the key."

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *There is ASCII text for "ICE KEY" hidden in ''Donkey Kong 64''. By using a GameShark code, the player can even add it to the "Totals" menu (although it has no icon). The Ice Key cannot be removed after being adding, even if the player starts a new save file. Like with ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the Ice Key does has no function, and its intended purpose is unknown.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Donkey_Kong_64#Unused_Text Donkey Kong 64 - TCRF]</ref>
| |
| *Originally, [[Mumbo Jumbo]] was going to make an appearance in ''[[rarewiki:Viva Piñata|Viva Piñata]]''. According to [[Ed Bryan]], to make him appear in the garden, it required a scrapped Ice Key decoration.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ItsMingyJongo/status/1480518963444473860 Tweet by Ed Bryan] ([https://archive.is/I4Uz5 archive.is])</ref>
