In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', the Ice Key appears in a large alcove in [[Wozza's Cave]], although it is blocked off by an indestructible wall of ice.
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 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]]''.


To dissolve the wall, [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] must enter the [[Sandcastle]] of [[Treasure Trove Cove]] and enter a sentence reading "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 ''[[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]].

The Ice Key is used to unlock a large safe with the powerful [[Mega-Glowbo]] allowing for [[Humba Wumba]] to transform Kazooie into a [[Dragon Kazooie|dragon]].


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]].
===''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and 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.


===''Nuts & Bolts''===
The Ice Key itself makes a cameo in the melted Snowman of [[Banjoland]]. The Ice Key can be obtained in the [[Terrarium of Terror]] and given to a [[Jinjo]], who says he will "swop" the Ice Key in exchange for a [[Jinjo Token]]. After receiving the Ice Key, the Jinjo ponders over the mystery of it.

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]].  
=== Xbox Live Arcade ports ===
Since Stop 'n' Swop was repurposed for the Xbox Live Arcade ports of both ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Tooie]]'', the method for obtaining the Ice Key was changed. It can only be obtained in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', and is then automatically transferred over to ''Banjo-Tooie'', whose original location of the Ice Key was replaced with the [[Mystery Egg#Gold Mystery Egg|Gold Mystery Egg]] instead.


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."
The Ice Key cannot be obtained in the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' port unless the [[Xbox 360]] has a save file for the ''Banjo-Tooie'' port or ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. If the player obtains the Ice Key but does not have a save file for either game, the game and its [[achievement]]s cannot be saved.{{citation needed}}


==Trivia==
== 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>
