A: Heh… heh… heh… keep on guessing… ho… ho… ho… all will be revealed… hee… hee… heee… Sorry about that, the simple answer is yes. I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you, and we couldn’t show that in a game with this rating. Put it out of your mind and think happy thoughts! Thanks for the Notes!” It was discovered that using a cheat device with a ‘levitation’ code would allow players to enter Wozza’s Cave and float high above the wall that kept them from the Ice Key – once a desired height were reached, the players would need only move forward a few feet and then return to the ground, where they now found themselves on the other side of the wall.

Or is he somehow in league with Grunty? Is he mates with BK? Or is including his picture just arseing with my mind? (Chris Todd) The Blue Egg in Gobi’s Valley was also up for grabs, with a similarly lengthy and rhyming code to be found by entering, “CHEAT A DESERT DOOR OPENS WIDE ANCIENT SECRETS WAIT INSIDE”. After breaching the hidden tomb, Banjo and Kazooie would need only slam down on the Sarcophagus switch with a well-aimed Beak Buster to expose the Blue Egg.US Patent 6820265B1, or, “ System method and data storage medium for sharing data between video games” was the Rosetta Stone to Stop ’N’ Swop’s functionality – a detailed breakdown that elaborated every technical step of the proposed feature was now readily available for anyone to read. Curiously, another question had been posed in the Rumour Mill that at first glance seems pretty unremarkable: Explaining the function of the secret feature, lead programmer, Chris Sutherland recollects Nintendo’s hesitancy towards the feature and their eventual request for its removal. Game Designer, Gregg Mayles, adds to this, eluding to Stop ‘N’ Swop’s original plan to encompass a number of Rare titles outside the Banjo-Kazooie series, while clips of Jet Force Gemini, Conker’s Bad Fur Day and Perfect Dark are shown simaltaneously.

It was very easy to get caught up in the conspiracy, and every potential selection seemed to have its own list of valid reasons for being, only to have it dismissed by the next theorist to come along. Still, while players weren’t fully knowledgeable on the true scope of Stop ’N’ Swop at this point, it was clear that the nature of the mystery was only just getting started… Due to the removal of Stop ‘N’ Swop occurring so late in Donkey Kong 64’s development, the publication of the strategy guide from Nintendo of Europe references the original map for Crystal Caves (left) where an extra chamber can be seen to the north of the room, which the map from Nintendo of America has removed entirely (right). On April 10th, 2020, Rare Gamer had the opportunity to discuss the development of Stop ‘N’ Swop with Paul Machacek. In addition to learning how Stop ‘N’ Swop was devised and accomplished on a technical level, Mr. Machacek also revealed that the scope for Stop ‘N’ Swop would have involved more than the Banjo-Kazooie series and Donkey Kong 64, encompassing a total of six Rare titles with a plan to have the Ice Key as the final reward:
