Stop 'n' Swop II is a hidden feature in Banjo-Tooie (XBLA). It is a successor to the original Stop 'n' Swop transfer feature.

Stop 'n' Swop II is first unlocked in Banjo-Tooie XBLA when the final Secret Egg from the original Stop 'n' Swop is hatched by Heggy in her egg shed, at which point a popup appears which says "Stop 'n' Swop II found - Oh no, not again...", followed by this conversation implying that Stop 'n' Swop II will pay off in a future Banjo-Kazooie game:

HEGGY: Oh...Cluck!...My!...Cluck! Very special Heggy egg award! Cluck! This might be useful... one day.
KAZOOIE: Here we go again... well, at least that means we'll get to see our 20th birthdays.
BANJO: You think so? Surely Rare will make the next game faster than that? [1]

Some elements of Stop 'n' Swop II can also be unlocked without the use of the original Stop 'n' Swop (see below).

Three Stop 'n' Swop II Secret Eggs can be found within Banjo-Kazooie Game Paks in Banjo-Tooie XBLA. They differ from the Secret Eggs for the original Stop 'n' Swop in that, instead of question marks, the Stop 'n' Swop II eggs are covered in white spots. Collecting these eggs opens a Stop 'n' Swop II menu in the pause screen, where the Eggs are represented by an icon and an odd description.

Stop 'n' Swop II items

There are four physical Stop 'n' Swop II items (one of which is from the original Stop 'n' Swop), although there are three more that can be "activated" Achievement-style by doing certain things in Banjo-Tooie XBLA.
