It's funny that you can tell the Conker and Mario 64 carts apart in the dark from the weight difference of the 2 of them, you can feel that cart has a whole lot more memory chips wedged in there, can never get that same feeling from a CD based game... unless it's one of the FF series with a ton of disks in the box.

Yeah, Rare had a lot more space to work with on Conker. They didn't for example have to stretch textures as much as Mario 64 or other early games on the system did. I have to admit, I never realized the weight difference on the cartridges. 

That's okay it's not like anyone is nuts enough to get out some N64 carts, a weighing scale and a camera.... oh wait I'm here.

Mario64 Cart a 8mb Rom

Conkers Bad Fur Day 64mb Rom

Pokemon Stadium 2 64mb Rom

 

One odd one which doesn't line up with the ROM size (16MB) and is possibly down more to the cart having additional hardware inside it for use with the 64DD addon which was going to work with FZeroX to save created tracks.

 

But yeah I know that the Weight difference between the lighter carts and the heavier ones is just 30grams but that does make Pokemon Stadium 2 1.3X the weight of Mario64
