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 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]].

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.

==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>
