The REAL Answer to Stop N Swop

[Ice Lightning]

Why didn't you say this earlier Coolboyman. Like when you found out about Grunty's LairA (Tower Room). So many more mysteries could have come up.

I've been looking around, and I've seen people trying to crack this little feature called Stop 'N Swop. The folks at Rare have always told me to keep this a secret, but I don't really care anymore, so I'll spoil it for you. A controller Pak is needed

To start off, you must play though Banjo-Tooie, not beating a time, but going through the entire game without shutting the game off once, or dying. You must get every single last item in the game, just make sure you don't die. You must NOT break down Jolly's door, you must pay the 2 doubloons to open it. You can't use cheats either (even with cheato pages). Do NOT go to Heggy's after you get the purple and blue egg. Do not give Humba the Mega Glowbo. It doesnt matter how fast you do it, it just matters if you survive or not.

After you complete the game and see the credits and everything, go back to the saved file and head over to Jiggywiggy's temple. Beat the Jiggywiggy special challenge in less than 50 seconds. Yes, its quite difficult, but it can be done. After that, he will remain silent, and you will see a beam come out of the crystal jiggy. Now head over to Jolly Rogers Lagoon and you should have 2 doubloons left. Talk to Jolly and he wont say anything, but you'll hear a ding. Go outside Jolly's and jump into the pool with the pigs and you'll hear another ding. Go back into Jollys and talk to Captain Blackeye. He'll thank you for getting him the water, and he will give you a key. Go into the sunken ship and open one of the chests with the key. You'll find some shiny gernade eggs. Grab them, your gernade eggs have upgraded.

Go to clock cuckooland and fly all the way up, and on one side there should be a ledge and on the side of the wall there should be an odd color. Shoot 3 gernade eggs there (they can be shot as fast as regular eggs now) and it will open up. Go inside and you'll be in this weird cave called "Glowbo Cave". There will be 6 Glowbo's in there, all matching the colors of the eggs. Talk to the Purple one first and hand him the egg, as well as the Blue one. They willl then take notice that these eggs are actually FAKE. Thats right, fake. They will then ask you to please return the eggs to them. One of them will hand you a golden cheato page.

Head to Grunty's Lair, and hand cheat on the Golden Page, and he'll reviel a new option whenever you talk to him. When you select this option, he gives the command to shut down the game. Turn off the game and replace it with Banjo-Kazooie. The game will work as normal, except one of the areas will be open, which is Treasure Trove Cove. Grab the egg, return to the main lair's Entrance Room, and save the game. If you save this anywhere else, the data wont transfer over. Turn off the console and replace it with Tooie and you'll be back in the lair talking to cheato. Return to the Glowbo cave and give the REAL pink egg to the pink Glowbo. The Blue one will then ask you to get the egg. You have to keep on doing these eggs one by one. Go back to the lair and talk to cheato and do what you did before except go to Gobi's valley. Keep doing this in this order: Pink, Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow, Red. After all of the eggs have been returned, they will complain once again that theyre missing their leader, the Mega Glowbo. If you already got the Glowbo, they'll thank you, if not go get it in hailfire peaks like you usually do. They'll have one last problem. Theres another Icy door, banjo tries the ice key he has but its too small. Your final thing to do is return back to cheato do the game switch and grab the Ice Key. This ice key is bigger of course. Go back to the cave and open the lock to reveal 6 nests. Put all the eggs in there, and exit the cave. Use the split up pads and go back as Kazooie. You must hatch the eggs.

All the eggs have nice rewards. Each egg hatches a baby Glowbo and lends you some of its magical powers. Well the Blue Purple and Yellow eggs give the same rewards as if heggy hatched them. But we have the cyan green and red eggs! Hatch the Red egg to activate Bottle's revenge (which can be turned on and off on the main menu). Hatch the cyan egg and Kazooie will be able to swim underwater by herself. Shes pretty fast and easy to control. The Green Egg will let you choose from all 8 transformations in Humba's Wigwam in ANY level. The Stony in Cloud Cuckooland, the Bee in Witchyworld, the Snowball in Glitter Gulch mine.

Yeh thats all there is too it. And if you dont believe me, you can all go **** yourself.

Any way to provide us with some screens?

[HomieG]

Bah, I'm still skeptical. So many of these come up every year, why would this one be true? There's no proof, other than that glowbo cave text, which he could have found himself or heard about from someone else. Until I see some proof, I'm not believing this.

Though I do agree with Ice Lightning. These are entertaining.

Now, I noticed I was a bit harsh. I didn't read the thing. Our site id flooded with "fake theories" about it, and I just thought this was another one. You know.

[Donkey Kong]

It very well COULD be real. I mean, he has his NAME as an official tester to back it up. http://www.mobygames.com/developer/s...loperId,51934/

Besides, he could get arrested for illegally posing as someone else, nonetheless an official rare tester.

But so far all evidence points that he is the real deal.

[Ice Lightning]

I have some evidence...that this is fake.

As far as I know, no American people work for Rare. He spells the word colour, the American way, with no u.

See my fantastic noticing skills there.

[jumbo mumbo]

I really wish i never sold my banjo-tooie game I dont even remember why i did. I'm gonna have to go buy another one, but i might wait to see if this really works or not.

[jumbo mumbo]

You're right Ice Lightning. I didn't notice that. Hmmm........ very suspicious.

[Banjoman]

Hmm...I dunno. We had a few people here lately making SNS jokes alot lately. I'm gonna try this out to see if it's real. In my opinion this seems like a bit too much to do for a simple process. Ah well, I'm a sucker for anything so I'll give it a go.

[Mr 3vil]

The only way to really know is to test it out. It isn't impossible to do that, but you think this would have been discovered earlier. I also noticed how "grenade" was spelled gernade eggs over and over.

Beating the last Jiggy Wiggy Challenge under 50 seconds isn't that hard, I did it myself before. The REAL challenge would be to surviving the game all the way without cheating, defeating Canary Mary, suriving Stomponadon, and doing this all with an actual game pak. Anybody could beat the game like that with an emulator and see if it were real or not.

Can you tell me if this looks like the texture for one of the Glowbos'?

To me that looks like the texture used inside the big fish.

[Ice Lightning]

Aha. I just noticed now he also contidicts himself in what he says.

Notice how he says you must get every item in the game. Although later he says.

If I'm not mistaken, I think the Mega Glowbo is an item. So surely you must have already had to get this far as he said earlier you need to get every item. Of course this could be a mistake, but it does say you must get every item.

[s.w.a.t]

I think that that was just a mistake, or he is just lying. Or maybe the Mega-Glowbo isn't an ITEM, it's more of a special. This sounds fishy. I'm staying neutral.

His pic shows he looks Asian.
