The game's creator, Sabrina DiDuro briefly considered the idea of splitting Freedom Planet 2 into two parts similar to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles during development, due to the increased scope of the game.
But she and her team at GalaxyTrail committed to keeping it as a single game despite how long it would take to complete it.

Roy E. Disney, the nephew of Walt Disney, was not informed that The Walt Disney Company's licensing department had granted Sega the rights to develop a Fantasia video game until after its release. He had previously promised Walt before his death that merchandising deals would not be made for Fantasia, resulting in the game's withdrawal from sale after roughly 100 days.

Platform: BBC Microcomputer System

Following the release of the BBC Micro, independent branches of rival free-to-air channel ITV initiated plans to brand a microcomputer by Transam Computers with the ITV name, selling at the same price as the BBC Micro. This was ultimately vetoed by the Independent Television Companies Association due to ITV being prohibited from sponsoring products at the time, alongside potential conflicts of interest with ITV's own advertisers, which included other microcomputer manufacturers.

Raid: Shadow Legends is infamous for an aggressive marketing campaign through sponsorships on YouTube channels, usually ones that lack demographic overlap with a high-fantasy Western RPG to the point where adverts for the game are considered "inescapable". Developers Plarium Games have tried to claim that they don't actually sponsor content creators, and that content creators are simply shouting out the game unpaid because of how much they like it, which is easily disproved by watching any of the sponsor segments, where the legal clarity precautions for sponsorships are consistently followed.

Of the various regional versions of the Chronicle sub-mode, the Japanese list is the closest to a complete list of games published by Nintendo up to December 2007.

However, various old webpages on Nintendo of Japan's website that similarly compile all Nintendo-published games for a particular console list some games that were not in the Chronicle.

•The Super Famicom page includes several games that were released exclusively through the Nintendo Power service (not to be confused with the North American magazine of the same name) and never received a standard physical release.
Additionally, all games in the Chronicle that were originally released for the Nintendo Power service would use their release dates for their standard physical release (e.g. Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 was first released via Nintendo Power on September 1, 1999, then released on cartridge on January 21, 2000; the Chronicle uses the latter release date for the game).

•The Game Boy page includes another Nintendo Power-exclusive, Balloon Fight GB, the Japanese Game Boy Color release of Balloon Kid.
Oddly, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, despite being a Nintendo Power-exclusive title in Japan, is still listed in the Japanese Chronicle.

•The Nintendo 64 page includes games by Rare not based on pre-existing properties (both Banjo-Kazooie games for the system, Blast Corps, Jet Force Gemini, and Perfect Dark), three Star Wars titles (Shadows of the Empire, Episode I: Racer, and Rogue Squadron) and F-1 World Grand Prix.

•The Game Boy Advance page includes Oriental Blue: Ao no Tengai.
Additionally, while Nintendo has published every game in the Famicom Mini series (known as Classic NES Series in North America and NES Classics in Europe), only the ports of first-party titles were included in the Chronicle.
The 2005 re-release of Famicom Mini: Super Mario Bros. was also excluded from the Chronicle, likely due to that version simply being a re-release to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros.

•The GameCube page includes Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Baten Kaitos Origins.

•The Nintendo DS list includes the Nintendo DS Digital TV Tuner peripheral.

The Virtual Boy and pre-2008 Wii webpages have completely identical game lists to their Chronicle counterparts.

Some of the names of the Arcade Shop missions in Lost Judgment which are unlocked through playing Sonic the Fighters are references to aspects of the Sonic franchise.

The missions for beating Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy are all named after their themes from Sonic Adventure or Sonic Adventure 2: Live and Learn, Believe In Myself, Fighting Freak and My Sweet Passion.

The mission for beating Fang the Sniper is titled Knack For Trouble which could be a reference to both Fang's original Western name Nack the Weasel as well as his debut game Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble.

The mission for beating Bean the Dynamite is titled Mean Bean Machine after the 1993 Sonic-themed Western localization of Puyo Puyo, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Ironically, Puyo Puyo did not appear in Lost Judgment despite being in it's predecessor, Judgment.

Finally, the mission for beating Espio is titled Chameleon Detective after Espio's role as a detective starting with Sonic Heroes. It could also be a nod to the Lost Judgment's protagonist Yagami being a detective who often needs to don disguises to blend into places.

There are two turbo modes that can be accessed by holding down certain buttons on a second controller before the game starts. The first will change the intro music and part of the title will blink between black and pink. The second will change the intro music as well and part of the title will blink between black, pink, and white.

Turbo Mode 1: Hold the L or R button before starting the game.
Turbo Mode 2: Hold the L and R buttons before starting the game.

These may both be a reference to the title screen font colors used in Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting.

The infamous DK Rap was featured in the 2023 film "The Super Mario Bros. Movie", with the chorus portion used to chant Donkey Kong's name as he enters the Great Ring of Kong to battle Mario. Donkey Kong's voice actor Seth Rogen reacted to the DK Rap prior to the film's release, referring to it as "objectively one of the worst rap songs of all time." The original songwriter Grant Kirkhope expressed excitement upon hearing about the song's inclusion in the film but was dismayed upon seeing that he was not credited as the song's original composer in the movie's credits.

Mr. Satan (also known as Hercule) is not a playable character, but he can be with the use of a cheat device. He only has one combo and at the end of it he always dies and loses to whoever he is facing. This is because his only appearance in the game is when he faces Cell in the story mode and performs this same combo and dies.

Attachment In the episode "Never Koop a Koopa" from the animated series "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3", King Koopa wears a red cape towards the end of the episode, giving him a passing resemblance to King K. Rool. However, this is purely coincidental, as King K. Rool debuted four years after this episode aired in 1990, and in early concept art from around this time K. Rool looked much different. Incidentally, the cartoon version of King Koopa shares K. Rool's similar habit of wearing thematic costumes, and Bowser and his Koopa Troop would take up the Kremlings' usual role of stealing Donkey Kong's banana hoard during the Subspace Emissary story mode in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Attachment Leading up to the game's release, it was advertised as being the first Dragon Ball Z game to feature Broly. This was not necessarily true as he had made his first appearance a decade before in Dragon Ball Z: Super Butouden 2 which was only released in Japan and Europe. He was even playable through the use of an obtainable cheat code. Although this would be his American debut, the advertising was still false.

Amelia states in her Phone Fling conversation that she works for "Sad Panda / Happy Panda", an organization dedicated to the preservation of red pandas. This is not only a reference to Sad Panda Studios, the studio that made Crush Crush, but also to their mascot, which is a red panda. Further supporting this is one of the first text prompts the player can submit during the conversation which confuses the fictional organization for the real-life Sad Panda Studios.
