Some of the game's sound effects were recycled in Conker's Pocket Tales. Additionally, if Conker remains idle for a certain amount of time, he plays on a Game Boy. The world map theme in Donkey Kong Land can be heard playing.
Grabbed by the Ghoulies
In Conker: Live & Reloaded, when selecting Game 3 in The Cock and Plucker, Cooper can be seen vomiting in a toilet.
Pokémon
In an unused cutscene from the ECTS 2000 build of Conker's Bad Fur Day, you can see Don Weaso trying to catch a Pikachu by beating it up. After the Pikachu ran away, Don Weaso references the Pokémon catchphrase by saying "You know how it is, gotta catch 'em all". Chris Seavor stated on Twitter that the cutscene was removed at Nintendo's request because they "weren't too keen on having their baby bashed".[1] The Pikachu's tail is left unused in the final game.
