Abstract: We review the fundamentals of coupling constant metamorphosis (CCM) and the St"ackel transform, and apply them to map integrable and superintegrable systems of all orders into other such systems on different manifolds. In general, CCM does not preserve the order of constants of the motion or even take polynomials in the momenta to polynomials in the momenta. We study specializations of these actions which do preserve polynomials and also the structure of the symmetry algebras in both the classical and quantum cases. We give several examples of non-constant curvature 3rd and 4th order superintegrable systems in 2 space dimensions obtained via CCM, with some details on the structure of the symmetry algebras preserved by the transform action.
