Difference between revisions of "Stop 'n' Swop"

To use Stop 'n' Swop items, you would have needed to own both Banjo-Kazooie AND Banjo-Tooie. You had to collect the eggs in Banjo-Kazooie, then switch the game off and insert Banjo-Tooie. Originally, the player would have had ten seconds to swap game cartridges, but due to revisions in the Nintendo 64 hardware, this time was reduced to only one second, and therefore, became impractical.

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).

At the end of Banjo-Kazooie, if all 100 [[Jiggy|Jiggies]] have been collected, [[Mumbo Jumbo]] will show the player three animated photographs which reveal the locations of two Mystery Eggs and the Ice Key, in locations that players may have noticed previously to be inaccessible. However, after waiting until [[Banjo-Tooie|Banjo Tooie's]] release, fans felt like the solution offered in Tooie was a copout. Members of [[Rare Witch Project|The Rare Witch Project]] set to work hacking the game, and made a shocking discovery. There are in fact [[Cheat Codes|codes]] within the game that can be entered on the [[Sandcastle]] floor in [[Treasure Trove Cove]] that will allow anyone to reach these treasures, as well as another four eggs not mentioned by Mumbo. Once the items are collected, a menu appears on the pause menu if you move to the very end past [[Click Clock Wood]]. It has never since been discovered what this menu is for, and indeed what it does.

 

Also, if you have Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, once you beat grunty in Spiral Mountain (again), all Stop 'n' Swop items will be available without using the cheats.

The Yellow Mystery Egg is found in [[Click Clock Wood]] in [[Nabnut|Nabnut's]] house in the winter season. To reach it, you must enter through the window.

The egg is in Spiral Mountain, in front of the mountain. If you go to Heggy in Wooded Hollow she gives Banjo [[Breegull Bash|a new move]].

It's behind the waterfall in Spiral Mountain. It unlocks the homing eggs cheat in the code chamber at Mayahem Temple.

Unlike the original Banjo-Tooie the Stop 'n' Swop items are not available in the game unless they were collected in [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA)]] in which case the player starts with the items already collected. (The SnS items will be available in Banjo-Kazooie once you have a save file in Banjo-Tooie or Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts. This includes the Nuts and Bolts Demo.) [[Heggy]] will hatch all the eggs which will unlock the three awards from the original ([[Breegull Bash]], [[Jinjo]] as a multiplayer character and [[Homing Eggs]]) along with a gamer pic, a Xbox theme and [[Stop 'n' Swop II]]. The Ice Key is still used to access the Mega-Glowbo.

*Stop 'n' Swop has been mentioned various times in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]. [[Bottles]] pretends to offer the secret of Stop 'n' Swop for 6000 [[notes]] (despite the fact that there aren't 6000 notes in the game), but steals your notes and doesn't tell you anything, claiming that he'd have to kill you. [[Trophy Thomas]] accuses you of cheating using Stop 'n' swop at one of his challenges. A few mystery eggs and a fake [[Ice Key]] are in [[Banjoland]]. [[Lord of Games]] asks a question about Stop 'n' Swop during the trivia, asking what failed connection from [[Banjo-Kazooie]] to [[Banjo-Tooie]] that some fans still won't shut up about was. Paintings of the eggs and an imprint of the [[Ice Key]] around [[Showdown Town]] and [[Boggy's Gym]] could also be found. These will give parts when the eggs are collected in Banjo-Kazooie on the Xbox Live Arcade. (Beacon, [[Roysten|Goldfish]], Mole-on-a-Pole, Googly Eyes, Fluffy Dice, Flag (2x), & Disco Ball)
