Question: Why is the cartridge for Donkey Kong 64 yellow instead of grey?

Answer: It's the color of bananas, which feature prominently in the Donkey Kong Country franchise.

Phaneron

Character mistake: In the cutscene that happens when entering Jungle Japes for the first time, Donkey Kong struggles to get the first golden banana, then slams the ground to make it fall. King K. Rool describes this banana as "his first golden banana", but this is not how DK got the first golden banana, as the player picked it up after K. Lumsy opened the way to Jungle Japes.
