Planned but initially scrapped was a data transfer plan that would allow players to transfer data from Banjo-Kazooie (1998) to this game and back, however this was scrapped due to the fact that Rare could not find a way to transfer data from one Nintendo 64 cartridge to another without going over-budget.
