The '''Mystery Eggs''' are a series of mysterious, collectible eggs that are usually used for unlocking extra features.
The '''Mystery Eggs''' are a series of mysterious, collectible eggs that are most often used for unlocking extra features.


Six Mystery Eggs and the [[Ice Key]] were intended to make up the scrapped [[Stop 'n' Swop]] feature, where the player would transfer the items from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' into ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. This resulted in three of the Mystery Eggs being repurposed for ''Banjo-Tooie'' as collectibles that unlock content in the game itself.
== History ==
Originally, six Mystery Eggs and the [[Ice Key]] would play part in the scrapped [[Stop 'n' Swop]] feature, where the player would transfer the items from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' into ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. The Mystery Eggs have no role in ''Banjo-Kazooie'' aside from appearing in a Stop 'n' Swop menu.


The Stop 'n' Swop feature was later added in the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] ports for both games. Therefore the Mystery Eggs were used to unlock content between the two games, including vehicle parts for ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.
Eventually, in ''Banjo-Tooie'', half of the Mystery Eggs (blue, yellow, and purple) and the Ice Key appeared as collectible items for unlocking content within the game itself.
 
The Stop 'n' Swop feature was later added in the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] ports for both games. As a result, the Mystery Eggs were used to unlock content between the two games, including [[Mumbo Crate]]s with a vehicle part in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.
 
== Types ==
=== Pink Mystery Egg ===
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the '''Pink Mystery Egg''' appears in the sunken [[Sharkfood Island]] of [[Treasure Trove Cove]], which can be raised out of the ground by entering the relevant [[Sand Castle]] cheat, "CHEAT OUT OF THE SEA IT RISES TO REVEAL MORE SECRET PRIZES". [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] must jump between many alcoves on a spiraling hill and obtain the Pink Mystery Egg at the top. In the ending, after obtaining 100 [[Jiggy|Jiggies]], [[Mumbo Jumbo]] shows a photograph of the Pink Mystery Egg, hinting at how the duo can obtain it. 
 
In the ''Banjo-Tooie'', the Pink Mystery Egg appears behind a metal gate in front of [[Spiral Mountain]]. The duo must return it for [[Heggy]] to hatch and unlock the secret move, [[Breegull Bash]].
 
In the Xbox Live Arcade port of ''Banjo-Tooie'', the Pink Mystery Egg was replaced with the Bronze Mystery Egg, and is only obtainable from ''Banjo-Kazooie'' on Xbox Live Arcade. If the player has a ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' save file, they can unlock the Fluffy Dice vehicle part.
 
=== Blue Mystery Egg ===
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the '''Blue Mystery Egg''' appears behind a locked door in [[Gobi's Desert]], where [[Gobi]] is located before leaving the location. This door can only be opened by spelling out "CHEAT A DESERT DOOR OPENS WIDE ANCIENT SECRETS WAIT INSIDE" from the Sand Castle. By accessing the room, the duo must use [[Beak Buster]] on a ground switch to open a sarcophagus in the proceeding room with the Blue Mystery Egg. The egg's location is also hinted at in one of Mumbo's photographs in the 100% completion ending.
 
In ''Banjo-Tooie'', the Blue Mystery Egg is guarded by a [[Banjo-Kazooie Game Pak]] enemy behind the waterfall of Spiral Mountain, Banjo and Kazooie must take the Blue Mystery Egg to Heggy, who then hatches it. This allows the duo to unlock the "Homing Eggs" cheat from the code chamber of [[Mayahem Temple]]. This egg was replaced with the Silver Mystery Egg in the Xbox Live Arcade port.
 
In the Xbox Live Arcade remake of ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the obtained Blue Mystery Egg can automatically be transferred to ''Banjo-Tooie'' on Xbox Live Arcade or ''Nuts & Bolts''. In the latter game, the Blue Mystery Egg unlocks a Mumbo Crate in [[Showdown Town]] with the [[Roysten|Goldfish]] vehicle part.
 
=== Yellow Mystery Egg ===
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the '''Yellow Mystery Egg''' appears during the wintertime in [[Click Clock Wood]], on a table in [[Nabut]]'s house. For the Yellow Mystery Egg to appear there, Banjo and Kazooie must enter the Sand Castle and then spell out "CHEAT NOW BANJO WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT ON NABNUTS TABLE".
 
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the Yellow Mystery Egg is located on the upper floor of Heggy's Egg Shed. Kazooie must [[hatch]] the egg herself because Heggy is unable to reach it. After she hatches it, [[Jinjo]] is unlocked as a playable character in multiplayer mode. In the Xbox Live Arcade port, the Yellow Mystery Egg was replaced with a Gold Mystery Egg.
 
=== Cyan Mystery Egg ===
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the '''Cyan Mystery Egg''' appears in the cellar of [[Mad Monster Mansion]], in a barrel marked "1881" and sealed with an X. This barrel can be opened by entering "CHEAT DONT YOU GO AND TELL HER ABOUT THE SECRET IN HER CELLAR" from the Sand Castle. The Cyan Mystery Egg sits on a small circle platform surrounded by a small splash of water. Banjo and Kazooie are not required to enter a cheat in the Xbox Live Arcade port.
 
In the Xbox Live Arcade port of ''Banjo-Tooie'', if the Cyan Mystery Egg was obtained in the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' port, Banjo and Kazooie can it to [[Heggy's Egg Shed]]. Heggy hatches the egg, and the player unlocks the [[Stop 'n' Swop II]] submenu. In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', obtaining the Mystery Egg spawns a Mumbo Crate containing the Mole-on-a-Pole vehicle part on a rooftop in the theatre district.
 
=== Green Mystery Egg ===
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the '''Green Mystery Egg''' is located above [[Loggo]] in a bathroom of [[Mad Monster Mansion]], after Banjo and Kazooie spell out "CHEAT AMIDST THE HAUNTED GLOOM A SECRET IN THE BATHROOM" in the Sand Castle.
 
In the Xbox Live Arcade remake, obtaining the Green Mystery Egg unlocks a Mumbo Crate in ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''; it contains the beacon vehicle part.
 
=== Red Mystery Egg ===
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the '''Red Mystery Egg''' appears on the bed of the captain's quarters in [[Rusty Bucket Bay]]. This room can be entered by breaking one of the windows.
 
In the Xbox Live Arcade remake, obtaining the Red Mystery Egg spawns a Mumbo Crate with a disco ball vehicle part in ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''. It is located behind a fence, which can only be destroyed with the Laser, in the Uptown area of Showdown Town in ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''. A fake Red Mystery Egg also appears in [[Banjoland]], which contains a [[Gruntbot]] if Banjo and Kazooie break it open.
 
In addition, when the Red Mystery Egg is transferred to ''Banjo-Tooie'' on Xbox Live Arcade, Heggy can hatch it for the player to unlock a ''Banjo-Kazooie'' theme on the [[Xbox 360]].
