Nintendo Power controllers: Donkey Kong 64, Nintendo Power 100, Millennium 2000 - These three promotional controllers were only available through the american magazine Nintendo Power. DK64 was yellow with brown tips resembling bananas, NP100 was a regular gold controller with a "Nintendo Power 100" sticker on top (made to celebrate the magazine's 100th issue) and M2000 was a half silver, half black controller with black buttons and was printed with the words "Millennium 2000". This is the only contoller which has differently coloured buttons.

Regions: USA

Finally, below is a special promo controller, coloured half gold, half black and with an N64 emblem on top. The origins of the controller are somewhat shrouded thanks to the extreme rarity of it. The most common story is that it was produced for the 1997 E3, where at least one was offered as a prize in a StarFox 64 competition. The controllers were apparently also handed out internally to some Nintendo employees.
