The '''Ice Key''', as its name implies, is a large key made of ice. It is one of the players in the [[Stop 'n' Swop]] mystery, first being found in [[Banjo-Kazooie]], and again in [[Banjo-Tooie]] where it can be utilized.

In Banjo-Kazooie, the Ice Key is found in [[Wozza|Wozza's]] cave in a large alcove, although the room is blocked by an unbreakable transparent wall. Entering the code "CHEAT NOW YOU CAN SEE A NICE ICE KEY WHICH YOU CAN HAVE FOR FREE" on the Sandcastle floor in [[Treasure Trove Cove]] will dissolve the wall, allowing the player to get the key; however, as with the other Stop 'n' Swop items, it has no apparent function in Banjo-Kazooie.

In the [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade version]] entering the cheat will cause it to stop saving and prevent your scores being loaded to the leaderboard; however, having a [[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Tooie (XBLA)]] or [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|Nuts & Bolts]] save file will make it accessible.

In Banjo-Tooie, it is possible to obtain the Ice Key without the use of cheats. In [[Jinjo Village]], just to the right of the entrance, there is a small icy cavern which can be accessed using the [[Grip Grab]]. There is a [[Banjo-Kazooie Game Pak]] inside which will yield the precious Ice Key when defeated. However in [[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Tooie (XBLA)]] the Game Pak contains the [[Gold Mystery Egg]] and the Ice Key will automatically be in your collected items if it was obtained in [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA)]].

Take the Ice Key to the Waterfall Cavern in [[Glitter Gulch Mine]] and use the [[Talon Torpedo]] learned from [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] on the [[Kazooie]] boulder in the water. Swim through the tunnel that opens up to a large room on the Icy Side of [[Hailfire Peaks]] containing a gigantic ice safe. The key can be used to unlock the safe, revealing the powerful [[Mega-Glowbo]] which can be brought to [[Humba Wumba]] in the Pine Grove to transform Kazooie into the fearsome [[Dragon Kazooie]].

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, if the Ice Key is collected in [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA)]] it will activate a crate on the roof of Boggy's Gym. This crate gives you the British flag.
