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.

Ta-daaaaa

I made a universe where Wario owns a casino(cuz why not) and some of the employees (mainly Waluigi) are just seeking drama.

Btw did you know that according to an old piece of Mario Tennis media (I think?) it is stated that Waluigi actually steals Luigi's underwear and sells it on Ebay. Devious behavior indeed.

I'll show the image once I find it in the future.

DK House Donkey Kong 64 Rare / Nintendo Nintendo 64 1999

Top: the empty Banana Hoard room near DK's treehouse in Donkey Kong 64 is an area that exists purely for lore reasons (to show that his bananas were stolen) and is out of the way compared to all of the gameplay-relevant locations in that area, meaning that it is completely optional to ever see and some players would never visit it at all.

Bottom: despite this, the developers were so dedicated to providing an enjoyable experience visiting the area that they implemented a special "Funny Banana Floor" collision type (highlighted in blue) just for this room, whereby Donkey Kong would slip slightly whenever he touches a banana peel, accompanied by a funny noise.
