I think they implemented the stop'n'swop functionality on the xbox live arcade versions, did they not?

They did. Kinda ruined the fun of it though. Who remembers when those people extracted the debug codes from the ROM that let you actually get the eggs, on the n64 version? It was years after the game came out iirc.

I must admit I also clicked the link expecting something to do with eggs and crystal keys.

I'm so glad somebody else remembers that.

It was years after the game came out, and was perhaps just a side-note in the videogames magazines, meaning that nobody believed my childhood self when I claimed to finally obtain the eggs.
