Donkey Kong 64's entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for "Most Collectable Items in a Platform Game" states that it has 3,821 unique items to collect, but it has an extremely large oversight. Note that it mentions banana coins under the "infinite-supply" item list, when they are actually also unique collectable items (they do not respawn when collected and the collection status of each of them is saved to the file, though it does not affect the completion percentage).

There are actually 974 Banana Coins in the game, so that Guinness's estimate of the amount of the collectable items is almost one thousand away from the actual number.

On an unrelated note, the entry also misspells golden bananas as "golden banans".

Letter from Nintendo to the Donkey Kong 64 development team at Rare, regarding the planned, but ultimately unused Stop'n'Swap functionality in the game.

The original plan was to be able to let data be transferred between Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 via very quickly removing one cartridge from the Nintendo 64 and inserting another, with a peculiarity of the system allowing the RAM to persist for a short time, allowing some information to be retained between games.

However, as pointed out in the letter, Nintendo had concerns about this functionality not being possible on later revisions of the hardware, as well as about the safety of the procedure, causing them to ask Rare to cut the feature. The game contains various unused content related to it, such as a Banjo-Kazooie-themed fridge in Donkey Kong's treehouse.
