The developers wanted to have outtakes of cutscenes play at the end during the credits with scenes like Conker being bad-tempered on set or the characters being out of character, but it was left out due to time constraints. Later the developers regretted leaving it out after seeing the film Toy Story 2 do something similar.

Hurricane Helms appears many times in the game, though is not a playable character. In Christian's RTWM, you can have a foot race with him, while in Rey Mysterio's RTWM, you can have a secret match with him by filling his conditions. He's a selectable NPC for Create a Story, and his entrance/moveset are also available in Create a Superstar mode. It's possible that he was originally meant to be part of the playable roster, but because Hurricane Helm's contract with the WWE expired during development of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011, WWE asked to remove him from the playable roster.

Attachment Video Game Activist Jack Thompson tried to get Mortal Kombat: Armageddon pulled off of the shelves when it was released. Players were using the Kreate-A-Fighter mode to make a character with Jack Thompson's likeness and he felt that his image was being used without his permission. Armageddon was not pulled off the shelves and became one of the best selling games of 2006.

Shiver Star, the game's 5th world, appears to be a frozen-over version of Earth, containing several uninhabited urban areas. Nintendo has confirmed that Shiver Star was once inhabited, but the climate drove them to evacuate the planet. This has led fans to speculate that Shiver Star is a post-apocalyptic version of Earth. Though Nintendo's intentions during the making of Shiver Star remains unknown, it can be inferred that the world is either a message about climate change, or the suggestion that the "Kirby" series takes place in our own universe.

Interplay wanted to replace all the music in the Genesis and SNES versions with new original tracks. Eric Chahi, the game's designer, requested to at least keep the original intro music to help retain the atmosphere but Interplay wouldn't agree. To express his frustration, Chahi sent them an endless fax with the message "keep the original intro music" in big letters with the ends of the paper taped together to form a loop. Interplay did reconsider however when Delphine posed legal action.

Attachment The character 'The Baz' is based on a scrapped Street Fighter II fighter, and was further developed by a series of events involving Matt and Woolie from the popular YouTube show Two best Friends Play.

"Jefailey and The Baz are in the game based on Keits honoring kickstarter pledges from Matt and myself for The Baz, and Alex Jebailey's pledge for Jefailey. The character that you see here, is the result of my concept submitted to Keits, from his lines, his palette, to the backstory, and his moves, and the entire concept of him being "The Storm" and having electricity based powers and such, etc; which Keits then finalized mechanically for balance. I decided to request him based on the running character gag we had with Fighterpedia.

Fun Fact, the character from the old artbook wasn't even named Zubaz - the katakana next to him said 'Bullfighter'. Zubaz is just the clothing line they used because that design was based on the Legion of Doom from the WWE, and they often wore Zubaz clothing. We just started calling him Zubaz during Fighterpedia and the name stuck with the fans." - Woolie Madden
