Top: in the demo version of Donkey Kong 64 playable at E3 1999, Donkey Kong’s coconut gun had a much more realistic design, resembling a double-barreled shotgun. While still images of this design were published in many video game outlets at the time, video footage of it is only available on a promotional VHS tape from the Spanish Hobby Consolas magazine.
Bottom: additional footage shows that despite the realistic design, the gun still shot coconuts even in that version.

Unused 8-bit version of “Boss Bossanova” found in the data of Donkey Kong Land 2. Boss Bossanova is the regular boss battle music from Donkey Kong Country 2; it plays in all boss levels except against the final boss, which uses Crocodile Cacophony instead. In Donkey Kong Land 2, however, every boss fight uses Crocodile Cacophony, leaving the regular boss music unused.

In Donkey Kong 64, the area of the Museum in Creepy Castle that Chunky Kong can access contains a mirror. If Chunky stands before the mirror and enters first-person view mode, then takes out his Pineapple Launcher, the reflection will bounce up and down rapidly as shown. This does not work if the Pineapple Launcher is already out when entering first-person view mode.
