The '''Expansion Pak''' was an accessory for the [[Nintendo 64]] that increased the 4 MB of RAM to 8 MB. It plugs into the front of the Nintendo 64 console. The default Jumper Pak is already pre-installed in the same position so the Expansion Pak comes with a little plastic key to aid in taking out the Jumper Pak and replacing it with the Expansion Pak. It was included in every copy of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' as it was the first game where it was necessary in order to play. The only other game where an Expansion Pak was necessary was ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]''. It was highly recommended in order to properly play ''[[Perfect Dark]]'' and ''Starcraft 64'' as without it, a majority of the content was unavailable to the player. In Japan, both ''Majora's Mask'' and ''Perfect Dark'' were available as a special edition that included the Expansion Pak. The Expansion Pak also allowed for some games to display higher quality graphics such as in ''[[Star Wars: Episode I Racer]]'' or ''[[Star Wars: Rogue Squadron]]''.

Interestingly, the Expansion Pak is the only Nintendo 64 accessory to be properly emulated by the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]].
