'''Stop 'n' Swop''' is an infamous scrapped feature from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. The intended purpose was to unlock the hidden locations of seven special items, including six [[Mystery Egg]]s and the [[Ice Key]], which the player could then transfer to ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.

The only instance where Stop 'n' Swop is referenced during normal gameplay is in the 100% completion ending, after [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] obtain all 100 [[Jiggy|Jiggies]]. The ending shows [[Mumbo Jumbo]] holding up a few photographs: two of them depict a Mystery Egg and the other one depicts the Ice Key.

==Locations==
===[[Cyan Mystery Egg]]===
The Cyan Mystery Egg is found in the cellar of [[Mad Monster Mansion]], in a barrel marked "1881"; it is a reference to Atic Atac, one of Rare's first games. Before entering the code one should note that the barrel is sealed with an "X". When Banjo and Kazooie enter this barrel, there is also water where this egg nestles.
The code is "CHEAT DONT YOU GO AND TELL HER ABOUT THE SECRET IN HER CELLAR".
====[[Pink Mystery Egg]]====
The Pink Mystery Egg is found in [[Sharkfood Island]], a small mark of land in [[Treasure Trove Cove]] that, upon entering the code, rises to turn out to be a cave. Mumbo reveals it after the game is finished with all 100 Jiggies.
The code is "CHEAT OUT OF THE SEA IT RISES TO REVEAL MORE SECRET PRIZES".
====[[Blue Mystery Egg]]====
The Blue Mystery Egg is found in [[Gobi's Valley]], behind an unopenable door which Gobi sits by before leaving the desert. The egg can be found inside a sarcophagus in the proceeding room. Mumbo reveals it after the game is finished with all 100 Jiggies.
The code "CHEAT A DESERT DOOR OPENS WIDE ANCIENT SECRETS WAIT INSIDE" opens the tomb door.
====[[Green Mystery Egg]]====
The Green Mystery Egg is the second egg to be found in [[Mad Monster Mansion]]; there seems to be no discernable reason for this, though. The egg is found in the bathroom, on top of [[Loggo]].
The code is "CHEAT AMIDST THE HAUNTED GLOOM A SECRET IN THE BATHROOM".
====[[Red Mystery Egg]]====
The Red Mystery Egg is found in the captain's quarters in [[Rusty Bucket Bay]], accessed by breaking one of the windows. And here, this egg is rotating on the captain's bed.
The code is "CHEAT THIS SECRET YOULL BE GRABBIN IN THE CAPTAINS CABIN".
====[[Yellow Mystery Egg]]====
The Yellow Mystery Egg is found in [[Click Clock Wood]] in [[Nabnut|Nabnut's]] house in the winter season. To reach it, one must enter through the window.
The code is "CHEAT NOW BANJO WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT ON NABNUTS TABLE".
====[[Ice Key]]====
The Ice Key is perhaps the most mysterious Stop 'n' Swop item, predominantly because it is the only item that can be seen during normal play. It is found in [[Wozza|Wozza's]] cave, in a small alcove; if the player uses first person mode, they can see through the ice to see the key twirling, but there is no way to get in. However, typing in the following code removes the unbreakable ice wall. Mumbo reveals it after the game is finished with all 100 Jiggies.
The code is "CHEAT NOW YOU CAN SEE A NICE ICE KEY WHICH YOU CAN HAVE FOR FREE".
==[[Banjo-Tooie]]==
Even though Rare dropped the Stop 'n' Swop idea, they decided to add three of the Mystery Eggs and the Ice Key to Banjo-Tooie. Each of these items unlocked a secret in the game.
====[[Ice Key]]====
In Banjo-Tooie, the Ice Key could be found in a cave around the sandy area of Jinjo Village. It unlocks a large Ice Vault that holds the [[Mega-Glowbo]]. The Mega-Glowbo can be used in Humba Wumba's wigwam at the entrance of Witchyworld to transform Kazooie into a [[Dragon Kazooie|Dragon]].
====[[Pink Mystery Egg]]====
The egg is in Spiral Mountain, in front of the mountain. By bringing it to Heggy in Wooded Hollow, Banjo will be able to use [[Breegull Bash|a new move]].
====[[Blue Mystery Egg]]====
It is behind the waterfall in Spiral Mountain. It unlocks the homing eggs cheat in the code chamber at Mayahem Temple.
====[[Yellow Mystery Egg]]====
The egg is found in Heggy's House, but it must be [[hatch]]ed by Kazooie. It unlocks the [[Jinjo]] in Squackmatch multiplayer.
