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 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]]''. | Of all the secrets and mysteries in the [[Banjo-Kazooie series]], none are more tantalizing or more talked about than '''Stop 'n' Swop'''.

One had to collect the eggs in ''Kazoo'', then switch the game off and insert ''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 grants 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 unlocks [[Roysten]] and his fishbowl as a part (needed for the LOG Banjo). | 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]]''.
