{{Infobox item

The '''Ice Key''' is a key composed from ice. It is one of the seven [[Stop 'n' Swop]] items from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', along with the six [[Mystery Egg]]s. In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the Ice Key is used for obtaining the [[Mega-Glowbo]], which enables [[Kazooie]] to transform into a [[Dragon Kazooie|dragon]].

The Ice Key itself makes a cameo in the melted Snowman of [[Banjoland]]. The Ice Key can be obtained in the [[Terrarium of Terror]] and given to a [[Jinjo]], who says he will "swop" the Ice Key in exchange for a [[Jinjo Token]]. After receiving the Ice Key, the Jinjo ponders over the mystery of it.

Since Stop 'n' Swop was repurposed for the Xbox Live Arcade ports of both ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Tooie]]'', the method for obtaining the Ice Key was changed. It can only be obtained in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', and is then automatically transferred over to ''Banjo-Tooie'', whose original location of the Ice Key was replaced with the [[Mystery Egg#Gold Mystery Egg|Gold Mystery Egg]] instead.

The Ice Key cannot be obtained in the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' port unless the [[Xbox 360]] has a save file for the ''Banjo-Tooie'' port or ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. If the player obtains the Ice Key but does not have a save file for either game, the game and its [[achievement]]s cannot be saved.{{citation needed}}

*There is ASCII text for "ICE KEY" hidden in ''Donkey Kong 64''. By using a GameShark code, the player can even add it to the "Totals" menu (although it has no icon). The Ice Key cannot be removed after being adding, even if the player starts a new save file. Like with ''Banjo-Kazooie'', the Ice Key does has no function, and its intended purpose is unknown.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Donkey_Kong_64#Unused_Text Donkey Kong 64 - TCRF]</ref>
