GoldenEye softlock: use Tiny Bond and play Cradle. Go down to the bottom platform, crouch, and step off the edge. If you run you may fall like normal, but if you go slower you will become stuck. No inputs work. Can't pause. HUD fades. You have to wait to die. If invincible you must hard reset.

GoldenEye texture match found. The floor of the shed in Statue comes from the Wraptures Volume One CD. The original 1024x512 image was compressed horizontally to make it square, then sized down to 32x32 pixels.

There are 3 places in Statue where the word "картофель" - Russian for "potato" - is faintly written on stone blocks. Half of it is cut off. In each case the full word is actually there which can be seen in the Setup Editor by deleting a tri like in the 4th pic. Why was this done? I have no idea.

This world map used in GoldenEye's Frigate radio room comes from the Wraptures Volume One CD. Well, technically it's used, but you can't actually see it because of a draw order issue. Pic 2 is the original game. Pic 3 is a modified Frigate to show more or less what it's supposed to look like.

In Runway there is a long thin cliff triangle, highlighted here in blue, that uses a different texture from all the others. It could be a hint, albeit far from conclusive, that Runway once used this texture for its cliffs. #2 pic is what Runway looks like with the other texture. #3 pic is final game

This Aztec texture comes from a picture (exact source unknown) of Altar 4 at La Venta, an Olmec archeological site located in Tabasco, Mexico. Historians believe this altar was actually used a throne to seat Olmec rulers during important ceremonies.

Some Aztec textures originate from the Codex Zouche Nuttall, or at least a facsimile of it. You can see the codex for yourself at: archive.org/details/code...
In particular, slides 50, 85, and 86 have the GE textures.

The tower to the left of the one where you start in Cradle has hazard stripes at the start of the catwalk, while the other two do not. One explanation could be that the this tower was made first, and when the level designer copied over the other two, they forgot the hazard stripes.

Here's a better view of the graffiti. Originally composed of two 33x33 pixel textures (the N64 didn't require power of two textures). Here stitched together and upsized by a factor of 8.

If you've played a lot of GE, you may remember that most lifts have green and red arrows over the doors. The one at the end of Jungle is unique, replacing the arrows with metal beam and wall textures. It's barely possible to see the weird textures if you end Jungle walking backwards while looking up

There is a lone, faint, and seemingly out of place graffiti in Aztec just outside the Jaws room.
It's extremely hard to see on console due to its position high on the wall and is more easily viewed in emulator or the GE Setup Editor.
It spells "KIH", the initials of level designer Karl Hilton.
