Attachment Astal's spine did not feature the game's name, which may have lead to its poor sales in the US. Retailers would have had to display the case forward facing, rather than to its side as standard.

Attachment The video reveal trailer ends by displaying a barcode. The numbers on the barcode teased a date (June 7th, 2011) when more about the game would be revealed. However, the company who made the trailer seem to have overlooked the barcode itself, as scanning the barcode takes viewers to an Amazon listing for a bag specifically designed to store sex toys.

Attachment During the intro sequence, Dr. Wily is mostly covered by other graphics. Extracting his sprite from the game will show that he has distinct breasts. The orientation of his shoulders and arms means they couldn't be pectoral muscles. This could simple be poor rendering by the artist but given the precise nature of pixel art, it is more likely be intentional or possibly a joke by the developers.

Attachment The drop ship used to get around has the call letters "B-EE 008" on the side, but in the prerendered cutscenes (That were presumably made earlier in the game's development) the designation is "800 B-EE". It seems this was changed due to the fairly strong representation of the number 8 as a "B", meaning 800 B-EE would be pronounced "Boobie".

Attachment There are at least two cases of art plagiarized from deviantart.com appearing in Sonic games. A piece of art of Sonia was mistakenly added to Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, and some fanart that was made for a Sonic and the Black Knight contest turned out to be a replica of someone else's artwork. Sega apologized both times.

Collection: ToeJam & Earl

Rumours circulated that ToeJam & Earl were originally named FlowJam and Whirl. The story goes that when designer Greg Johnson told programmer Mark Voorsanger their names, Mark misunderstood what Greg was saying and coded them in the game as Toejam and Earl. It wasn't until they showed the game to SEGA that Greg realized the named were incorrect, but since SEGA actually like the name, they decided to keep them.

This rumour was confirmed as being false by Greg Johnson, who frequently joked with games press, giving them intentionally incorrect information, and was reaffirmed by the official ToeJam & Earl Twitter account in 2020.

Attachment After receiving the Romani's Mask, if you protect Romani's Ranch from the invaders on the First Day, and help Cremia deliver the milk to Clock Town, you'll receive 1 of 3 rewards. Link can get either a Huge Rupee (worth 200 Rupees), some Chateau Romani, or a hug.

If Link receives the hug, Cremia will hold Link up close to herself and a message will appear saying "You did it! You helped Cremia!" "You feel all warm and fuzzy! inside! Sigh... You could get used to this!" The extra exclamation point after fuzzy was removed in later versions of the game.

Yager, the developers of the Single Player of the game, have been outwardly spoken about their displeasure about the inclusion of multiplayer in the game, developed by an external team, being forced into the game by 2K Games.

Cory Davis, lead designer of the game, has gone so far as to say that it "sheds a negative light on all of the meaningful things we did in the single-player experience." He has also referred to the multiplayer as "another game rammed onto the disk like a cancerous growth", that is was "tacked on", "low-quality", "bullshit", "should not exist", and "tossed out the creative pillars of the product".

Playing Ashley's music on the record turntable fast enough will speak the words "I have granted kids to hell!" However, in Nintendo Power issue 193, Nintendo stated that it was an accident, and the words come out like that due to the turntable skipping over parts of the song, and only playing certain pieces of the track.

Attachment The hotel in Celedon City has an invisible PC in the corner. If you stand one space down from the top right corner of the first room and press A, you'll be able to boot it up. It's assumed that this is a slight oversight, as the hotel resembles a Pokemon center, and the programmers removed the PC graphic but not its function.

It was only meant to be accessed in the Advance Test Chamber 17, which is unlocked after the game is completed. It contains a momentum test with a glass panel that has a hole in the middle. This room can be accessed with cheats by typing 'noclip' into the console. It is also possible to access the room without cheats by using the 'Portal edge Glitch' on PC or it can be accessed on console and pc using a glitch called 'Portal clipping'.
