How To Find The Stop'N'Swop Items

           Back in 1998 Rareware LTD. made a game perfect in all respects, this game is known as Banjo-Kazooie, gamers loved every aspect of this game, myself included, but one mystery remained. Rare had hinted about something known as Stop'N'Swop, if one found all the items in the game (excepting the S'N'S items) Mumbo Jumbo would show you a cutscene showing Banjo and Kazooie finding three of the seven S'N'S items, the three most commonly featured items, a large pink mystery egg, a large blue mystery egg, and an Ice Key. These items caused much hype and were a major cliffhanger for the upcoming game Banjo-Tooie, as Mumbo Jumbo said they would come in handy in the new game. However, gamers were dissapointed as they were led to believe it would be much better than it was, so enter IceMario and SubDrag, these two men (?) working together for the good of mankind (okay maybe that stretches the truth a bit but hey, it works.) They found gameshark codes to unlock six eggs and of course, the fabled ice key. Later, they found in-game codes that produce the same effect, but require no external sources to work (gameshark, emulator, Etc.) While these are by no means my discovery, I only wish to enlighten those who have not heard of them, or wish to learn from a trusted site.

Step 1: The Mystery Pink Egg

        
  The pink egg is perhaps the most famous egg of them all, as it is the only one to actually alter a level to make a home for itself, it is also featured in a painting in Banjo-Tooie behind Blackeye The Pirate.
To find the egg, go to Treasure Trove Cove, go into the sandcastle (To the right of the entrance of the level and drain the water by talking to Leaky. Beat Grunty's word challenge if you have not already, then leave the sandcastle and go back in, after you do this enter the word CHEAT in the letters on the floor, you will hear a MOO sound after each letter, then enter the sequence OUTOFTHESEAITRISESTOREVEALMORESECRETPRIZES, you will then be treated to a cutscene of the risen sharkfood island. Enter the risen sharkfood island through the hole in its side (watch out for snacker) you will hear a sort of fanfare when you enter, this will play every time you enter sharkfood island, then use the shock jump pad (useless if you haven't learned it from bottles yet, which makes no sense as you learn it in treasure trove cove) then you will bounce up and land in a little alcove in the rock, there are 16 of these going in a spiral up the column in the center, you will need to flutter-jump from one to the other until you reach the top (this is by far the trickiest item to obtain) then pick it up Kazooie will remark on the egg, and it will be added to a new menu in your totals known as Stop'N'Swop thus giving it its title which would stick to this very day.

I've got Croc by rare ware on ps1.

[geodez]

As in: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos?

[~Meme~]

Yes.

[geodez]

Yes.

[~Meme~]

Indeed.

[geodez]

Correct.

[~Meme~]

Yes.

[geodez]

Yes.

[~Meme~]

I see.

[geodez]

Indubitably.

[~Meme~]

Undoubtedly.

[geodez]

Certainly.

[~Aeronous~]

I do remember. Thanks, but ugh, you happen to be 12 years late on this.

[geodez]

So, I noticed it was not on instructables so I put an instructable on it.

[~Aeronous~]

But it was 12 years late. Did you play on the 64 or was it emulated?

[geodez]

The original, it's better that way.

[~Aeronous~]

Seconded. Although the last time I touched my 64 was about 2 months ago.

[geodez]

I just found mine the other day.

[~Aeronous~]

What other games do you have? Mariokart 64? Super mario 64?

[videogamemaster]

Lol, I'm only 1 year late.

[videogamemaster]

Hey, guys. For the 64 I have (To name just the best selling games): Goldeneye 007, Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Snap, Hey You, Pikachu (Without VRU T.T) and a bunch of other Nintendo 64 games that aren't best sellers. I have around 40 all together.

[geodez]

Banjo-Kazooie Banjo-Tooie Super Mario 64 Donkey Kong 64 Diddy Kong Racing Mario Party 2 Gameshark Pro And I think that is it.

[~Aeronous~]

You've got a fair few. You ever play them? The price for them on ebay is very high nowadays, you could get maybe $150 for all those games. I only have Super Mario 64, Mariokart 64 and Zelda ocarina of time.

[Bartboy]

Wow. I have about 30 different N64 games. I buy them at pawn shops. My favourites are Banjo kazooie/tooie, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, Super mario, the two zelda's and Goldeneye. Goldeneye is a must-have.

[~Aeronous~]

I was such an idiot. I sold Goldeneye (rated No.18 best game ever in the top 50) and Perfect Dark on ebay for $12 australian. That is $10 american(roughly).

[Bartboy]

Or about 11 $ Canadian :P Well, I've got a huge n64 collection. I bought a steering wheel online, and the person missed the shipment day by a day so it was two days late. She was nice enough to include 15 different games (including perfect dark, rainbow 6, army men and a few others) as compensation. Some people are just awesome...

[~Aeronous~]

HELL YEAH! I'm annoyed. Just missed out on another bargain, 10 N64 games for $30!

[Bartboy]

It doesn't even matter what they are! As long as they arent sports games, they're all amazing.

[~Aeronous~]

Yeah. Heard of the new Xbox360+PS3 motion updates?

[Bartboy]

I hadn't heard of the PS3 one. Damn. That does not please me. If you want motion control, you buy a wii.

[~Aeronous~]

Well yeah, but this appears to be extremely accurate, like the equivalent of Wii motion plus, and the accuracy of RS2, tripled.

[Bartboy]

But... I'm not interested. I bought a wii because of Virtual Console and because it supposedly had better graphics than gamecube. I bought a PS3 for hardcore gaming. The only problem is, xbox does everything these two don't >.<

[~Aeronous~]

Wha...? The PS3 is so much more powerful than the Xbox, and the Xbox doesn't have motion control. I see no current reason to buy the Xbox over the PS3, except most of my friends are selling their PS3s for Xboxes, simply because it is more popular, and the majority of kids have it.

[Bartboy]

Xbox does have motion control, sorta. Kinect. But that's not what I meant. I mean the downloadable games for it are awesome, cause they own RARE. Specifically, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie

[~Aeronous~]

But you can download those games from the WiiVirtualConsole aisle in the shop channel.

[Bartboy]

No you can't :S

[~Aeronous~]

Um, yeah you can...

[Bartboy]

Not Banjo Kazooie. Not Perfect dark. Not Goldeneye. Not banjo tooie. Some of the best games... And the Goldeneye remake is gonna suck. Daniel Craig is horrible...

[~Aeronous~]

No way! Come on, Daniel Craig as james bond in first person won't be ANY different to anyone else in first person. Oh well.

[Bartboy]

Yeah. It sucks. Well, the gameplay won't be in that sense, but they say they're changing the storyline
