You're Appreciated! INFECTED - B1K1 
Update with info from Twitter:

- Cold Swap trick was discovered during Spectrum/C-64 era,

- Cold Swap could allow transfer data between N64 games in 24 seconds,

- Stop 'N' Swop featured 8 items - 7 eggs and ice key,

- SNS was planned as link between 6 games - Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, Conker 64, GoldenEye 007 and Blast Corps. After doing of full circle a "Extra Special Bonus" was planned to be activated. Rare never worked on it,

- sandcastle codes for ice key and eggs were included as a backup plan if feature couldn't work as planned,

- Nintendo didn't know about feature untill Rare give them the final build of the game. Ninny didn't like Rare's idea and wanted them to disable feature at the very last minute of BK development so Rare didn't have a time to remove ice key, eggs and Stop 'N' Swop screen,

- Stop 'N' Swop was never fully activated in Banjo-Kazooie,

- Prizes for Banjo-Tooie were supposed to be designed after release of BK,
