Efforts had been made to contact the programmer of Wabbit, referred to as "Ban Tran" by her former coworkers. Her real name was discovered to be Van Tran in 2022, and she was interviewed by the Video Game History Foundation in May of that year.

Wabbit was the only game Tran developed for Apollo, as they went bankrupt in November 1982. She later went on to work on the Atari 2600 port of Solar Fox before retiring from the video games industry.

The Coolmath Games website has often been noted for a severe lack in mathematics-related content. The title of the website has often been theorized to have been chosen in order to bypass school browser filters - however that is not the case, instead it was named that as a spin-off of the Coolmath website, which was math-themed.

Attachment The box art of the game uses an image based on Al Lewis' portrayal of Grandpa Munster in the 1964 The Munsters sitcom and claims the game to be "Featuring... 'GRAMPA'". Despite this, neither Al Lewis nor The Munsters are mentioned on the game's copyright disclaimers and credits, and 'GRAMPA' is not the player character.

Pokémon Emerald Version
Pokémon Emerald Version (2004)
▲

▼
Because the developers were still experimenting with Double Battles where the player teams up with an NPC ally to fight two NPC opponents, this lead to a glaring oversight during the battle where the player joins with Steven Stone to battle Maxi and Tabitha where, during the battle, Steven's Level 42 Metang can actually gain a substantial amount of EXP simultaneously with the player's own Pokémon. This essentially means that, with careful manipulation, the player can have the ally Metang get enough EXP to grow to Level 43. This so far is the only instance in the entire Pokémon main series where, in a non-scripted battle, an NPC's Pokémon can gain EXP and level up.

When the game was first announced, it received numerous negative comparisons to the game Cuphead, namely for having a similar choice of gameplay (a 2D sidescroller with run-and-gun elements and an emphasis on boss battles) and artstyle (which appears to reference 1930s Rubberhose animation), with some people even going as far as to accuse the game of being a Cuphead ripoff.

Attachment In the SNES version of The Ren & Stimpy Show: Buckeroo$!, there is an unused sprite of the character George Liquor in his appearance as the Sheriff of Dodge City from the episode "Robin Höek". Around the time the game was being made, show creator John Kricfalusi was fired from Nickelodeon for inserting inappropriate content and missing deadlines while producing episodes, and was allowed to retain the rights to the George Liquor character, who he would continue to feature in cartoons for the rest of his career, meaning that he could not be used in Ren & Stimpy media from that point onward. Liquor would still appear in the NES version of Buckeroo$! however.

Sonic Mars
Sonic Mars (TBA)
▲

▼
Sonic Mars was a concept game that was cancelled for unknown reasons (though it likely had something to do with the limitations and ultimate failure of the Sega 32X), before eventually being reworked into what eventually became Sonic X-treme.

In 2007, two different scripts were leaked for the cancelled game. The first, written by Michael Kosaka, focused on the 3D graphics and notably included elements from the 1993 Sonic the Hedgehog television series (referred to by fans as "Sonic SatAM"), which was airing at the time. The second, written by Don Goddard, focused more on how the game combined 3D graphics with 2D sprites, and dropped the SatAM elements.

Attachment In Greenflower Zone Act 1, there is a house in the upper section of the level next to a lake. If the player has all 200 Emblems, this house will have a note on it thanking the player for keeping the game alive.

This house belongs to the in-universe persona of RedXVI, an old member of the Sonic fangame community who had significant influence over Sonic Robo Blast 2's development.

The location of this note is a reference to Version 1.09 of the game, where an Easter egg was hidden on the very same house. In this version, jumping on the house would cause RedXVI to come out and send the player to an early work-in-progress version of Red Volcano Zone Act 1 if the player jumped on the house repeatedly after beating the game three times.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl notably has certain side characters (Helga, Nigel, Hugh, Reptar, Oblina) featured without their series' respective protagonists (Arnold, Eliza, Jimmy, Tommy Pickles, Ickis) - what is less known is that these protagonists are completely absent from the game in any physical form, with none of them appearing in stage cameos. Tommy and Arnold do make brief cameos as photographs in props on the Teeter-Totter Gulch stage and one of Helga's attack props respectively however.

Also of note are Raphael and Donatello, a half of the Ninja Turtles who are not playable in the game despite their equal importance to Leonardo and Michelangelo, with Shredder and April in their place. They do feature as a profile icon, but are absent from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stages.
