In addition to generic destinations such as the city's police station, rail terminal and lookout point, passengers may also request to be taken to Pizza Hut, Tower Records, the FILA sportswear store, Levi's store or Kentucky Fried Chicken. These establishments have been replaced with generic businesses in later re-releases of the game. It's thought this is due to licensing difficulties.

Attachment There is an additional post-credits scene in the 2013 re-release that can be seen after collecting all of the emeralds that were missing in the original release. The scene shows the Death Egg crashing into Angel/Floating Island, and cuts to Robotnik angrily jumping on the "END" text, akin to Sonic the Hedgehog. Surrounding him are a number of bushes, through one of which Knuckles' eyes can be seen spying on Robotnik, as a foreshadowing towards Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

The first few copies of the Dreamcast release were shipped with a dangerous computer virus called Kriz. The Kriz virus infected Microsoft Windows-based computers when the game disc was inserted and had no effect on the Dreamcast itself. The screensaver virus erased the CMOS and BIOS settings, and attempted to overwrite files located on hard drives and the local network. The game was recalled by the publisher due to the virus.

An unused tech for Raine, called "Sacred Light" can be found in the coding of the GameCube version of the game. The technique is almost fully complete, possessing a translated incantation ("Life, be thy sustenance and destroy the enemy!") and animation, though it does not damage the enemy.

For the PlayStation 2 version, Sacred Light was fully completed and implemented as Raine's first Mystic Arte, performed by using her Ray or Holy Lance spells 100 times then using anyone of them in Over Limit.

The English release of the PlayStation 3 version uses the formerly unused English incantation.

Attachment Originally, Kirby's Dream Course was not going to be a Kirby game. It was originally a game titled Special Tee Shot, a miniature golf game which was going to be released on the Super Nintendo. It was midway through development before the game was reworked using elements from the Kirby series. Special Tee shot eventually got a release of its own on the Satiliteview add-on for the Super Famicom in Japan.

When the player would use the "Look At" command on the statue, Guybrush would respond, "Looks like an emaciated Charles Atlas." LucasArts received a cease and desist letter because of this joke, and it was removed from later versions of the game.
