its obviously another fake solution. They just edited the text and use the gameshark code that makes things go sideways when pressing up on the d-pad

its funny though

I can read spanish. That tapeworm part was actually tenias, which is "you had to".

It's not too butchered, but if you really want, I could translate it better for you.

Ok, then.

"On August 19, 2004 the website ClubJoe interviewed an ex-member of Rareware, who is now part of the Codemaster team, and talked about what purpose the eggs served and how the famous Stop-N-Swop idea was formed.

The ex-Rareware employee more or less explained how the process of Stop-N-Swop worked. Well, first someone had to have both the games Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, and it's assumed that in Banjo-Tooie you had to do some missions and that the Pirate Blackeye would give you some codes which you would need to enter in the sandcastle in Banjo-Kazooie and by doing that you would be able to receive the ice key and four eggs.

And, once you got the items, you had to go to Grunty's Furnace Fun and enter the cauldron that is there and you would appear in the higher levels of Grunty's Lair and if you pressed Pause, you would no longer have the Ice Key. After that you go to the beauty room, where Gruntilda wanted to put Tooty into the machine to transform her and take her beauty to use on herself.

And they (the players) would find the door open, so that you would be able to enter and replace the Banjo-Kazooie game with the Banjo-Tooie cart, hence the name "Stop and Swop". Once this is completed, in Banjo-Tooie you would have said eggs, I suppose you would take them to Heggy, and inside those eggs there are some Mega-Glowbows, which you would take to Humba Wumba to have her do special transformations, like making Kazooie into a dragon, or turning Banjo into a polar bear.

As a result, the main purpose of Stop N' Swop was to receive these special transformations, although it was also mentioned in the interview why it did not work out in this way.

Rare began to develop Banjo-Kazooie for the N64 which at the time had not come out yet, and in the beginning in the hardware there was the possibility of storing data inside the N64 internal memory, and that data would be able to placed in another game. In essence, when you entered the door that opened in Grunty's lair the data was stored inside the internal memory, and when the Banjo-Tooie cart was placed in the N64, it would load the data, but when a new version of the N64 came out, it was no longer able to hold the internal memory. It was impossible to do it, The employee said that it took a lot of work and it was depressing that so much work was going to waste, so they were forced to make a few changes to Banjo-Tooie for that reason, and what they did in Banjo-Kazooie was place 6 eggs as protection against hackers and if someone collected all 6 eggs, it would be impossible to Stop N' Swop.

The rest of the interview talks about Rare, but not about Banjo-Kazooie. If you want to know how to get the eggs in Banjo-Kazooie here are the codes (No codes here)."

Don't get too excited, it's pretty much just a summary of the ClubJoe interview.

Enjoy!

Oh, and guys, don't mock me for the wording. I made it as "American" as possible, but when translating from Spanish to English, some sentences sound a bit stiff.

despite the fact that this interview is said to be fake I think it's the least bit plausable. Polar Bear Banjo sounds like something Rare might do (why let kazooie have all the fun?). Thing is... what would be the differences?
Also thanks for translating KryptoniteJinjo. Makes things much easier than trying to figure out Googles translator.. It makes reading your own language more complicated than reading the one you don't know
