Difference between revisions of "Stop 'n' Swop"

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 [[File:Sns.png|thumb|artwork depicting Banjo and Kazooie holding the pink mystery egg and the Ice Key. ]]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 had also been revealed by the Rare team at E3 2008 that [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|the version of ''Banjo-Kazooie'' released on the Xbox live arcade]] would implement the Stop 'n' Swop feature as it was originally intended; however, it would 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).
