*In an early version, Banjo and Kazooie's faces could be seen on a shower stall in DK's Tree House. Similarly, pre-release material of ''Banjo-Kazooie'' shows a picture of DK as he appeared in the original ''Donkey Kong Country'' above Banjo's bed, but was eventually replaced with a picture of Tooty, Banjo's sister. | *In an early version, Banjo and Kazooie's faces could be seen on a shower stall in DK's Tree House.

*''Donkey Kong 64'' was part of the incomplete feature called Stop 'n' Swop. It involved six different colored eggs and a key of ice, found in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', and only two eggs and the key were shown in the ending cinematic (after collecting all 100 Jiggies). Their locations were sealed off, and it was told that they would be unlocked in ''Banjo-Tooie''. After hackers found the codes to access their hiding places, the eggs proved useless. Rare intended to use them as a connection between ''Banjo-Kazooie'', ''Banjo-Tooie'', and ''Donkey Kong 64'', unlocking secret features in all of them. After accessing a special pause menu, gamers were supposed to stop their current game and swap the Game Paks for another. Stop 'n' Swop got canned by Nintendo, due to concerns about players damaging their systems and the possibility that it would not be possible in some revisions of the Nintendo 64 hardware.<ref>Rare Ltd, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds22dv3KrPY&t=6m25s Rare Revealed: The Making of Banjo-Kazooie].
