Besides Banjo-Kazooie, DK64 was the only game where SNS was functional at once. In June 1999 Rare released Cold Swap Patent which explained Ice Key connection. There was blocked icy cave in Crystal Caves which was supposed to be unlocked with Ice Key from Banjo-Kazooie. The feature was cancelled between June 1999 and November 1999 when Nintendo forced Rare to remove it from the game. In released build we can find ashes of the feature - ICE KEY 1/1 in Totals and cutscene of Crystal Caves - DK House connection.
The very origin of SNS is releated to Spectrum era and the very end of Banjo-Kazooie development when Banjo Team got idea to connect SIX games and transfer "codes" between them.
