There is a scrapped Kremling character which has been dubbed by fans as "Mr. X". He appeared in Issue 76 of Nintendo Power but is nowhere in the game. He appears in the German instruction booklet where it reads, "Kennt ihn oder hat ihn irgendwo schon einmal gesehen", which translates into, "No one knows him or has seen him anywhere before."

At Cranky's Video Game Heroes, there are three ranks that a player can reach if they collect enough DK coins. The characters that have each rank by default are Mario, Yoshi, and Link. In the corner, there is a trash can with a sign that says "No Hopers". Next to the trash can is Sonic the Hedgehog's speed shoes and Earthworm Jim's gun.

On page 18 of the manual, specifically the third bullet point, it states:
This is a nod to the infamous minus world glitch in Super Mario Bros.
"The Plus and Minus barrels are found on the roller coaster level. The plus barrels add time to the timer, the minus barrels will send you to the minus world! (Uhh... wrong game. Actually they will take seconds away from the timer)."

According to the game's composer, David Wise, an attempt was made to make the SNES emulate the sounds heard on the Roland CR78 used by Phil Collins for the song "In the Air Tonight". Most notably, the beginning of "Bayou Boogie" sounds strikingly similar to the beginning of "In the Air Tonight".
