Sly was originally supposed to collect bags of money instead of the coins that appear in the final game. When collected, bills would flutter like butterflies into Sly's bag. The idea was eventually scrapped due to localization problems using green money in different countries.

Attachment Edgeworth's design for the game went through many iterations. In the first design, he had large frills that went down to his thighs. In other designs, he had grown facial hair. In the end, Edgeworth retained an "elegant" look, with rolled back sleeves and vest, and sporting a longer coat and a pair of glasses, appearing more like his father.

Attachment In Edgeworth's original design, he was going to be a 36 year-old veteran prosecutor, but the staff decided that was not interesting enough as a rival. When Shu Takumi saw the second version of the character, he was struck with inspiration and created the back story between him and Wright.

Miles Edgeworth's name may come from "edge of a sword", just like his Japanese surname "Mitsurugi", which contains the kanji for sword. This may be a reference to both Gregory and Miles Edgeworth having sharp minds and being "worthy" opponents for Manfred von Karma and Phoenix Wright, respectively. His first name in Japanese, "Reiji" comes from the kanji for "cleverness".

Maya Fey's Japanese given name, "Mayoi", means "true evening". When written in kana, "mayoi" means "hesitation" or "doubt". The name was apparently picked from a list of kanji that Shu Takumi liked. "Maya" was chosen as her english name because it closely resembles her Japanese name. The name Maya can either come from the Sanskrit for "illusion" or, similarly to her sister Mia's name, as a pet form of "Maria", which is itself the Latin equivalent of "Mary". "Mary" is originally from the Hebrew for "bitterness". This could be a reference to her sister's unpleasant death. Other possible meanings include: "rebelliousness" and "beloved-child".

During production, the name "Souka Naruhodou" (which translates to "Oh, yes, I see now") was suggested as Phoenix Wright's Japanese name, but quickly dismissed. It was decided to settle for just "Naruhodou".

Naughty Dog decided that the original Crash Bandicoot games would be exclusively released on the PlayStation due to the Saturn not being strong enough for their desires, and they considered developing for the Nintendo 64 would be far too expensive to publish games on due to their cartridge based system.

According to Craig Hubbard, the game's lead designer, a car chase sequence was originally planned to appear in the game. The sequence has even had extensive drafting carried out during development, but it was eventually removed because it didn't work out the way the creators hoped it would.

The car itself, however, made it into the game in a limited capacity; it is the same one that Spoiler:Rodney Betters drives the protagonist to the Birthing Facility in.

Players could draw using a fully editable 16 colors bitmap with a 176x144 pixel area. The software for the peripheral was being designed by Kazuo Wakihara who had worked on Columns. The graphic board would've also been compatible with the Genesis.

Attachment It took more than two years to create the in-game Notre Dame cathedral. The game's senior level artist, Caroline Miousse, worked with a historian to make sure it stayed true as possible. Much of the art however in the cathedral, including the stained-glass windows, was protected under copyright law so none of it could be used and instead had provide her own interpretation. After it was complete, Miousse finally had a chance to actually visit Notre Dame.

Attachment Leaked screenshots show that there was originally a trophy for Tharja from Fire Emblem: Awakening, but it was removed from the final game. Some speculate this was because of her suggestive clothing that would have likely given the game a more mature rating from the ESRB. There has been no confirmation that this trophy was ever set to appear.

Attachment During development of Ducktales remastered, ##WayForward## went through multiple designs on Scrooge when developing the game (using the NES sprite from the original game as well as how Scrooge appeared in the Ducktales cartoon for reference). The designs, in order, are based on the following:
1. The NES sprite design (having Scrooge in both red and blue outfits)
2. A updated version of the NES design sprite
3. A design based on his appearance in Ducktales but with different colored cuffs and a black top hat
4. A design based on how Scrooge appeared in the Carl Barks comics (with a black top hat)
5. A reworked design of the Carl Barks Scrooge (with a bit of red showing in the top hat)
6. A design based on how he appeared in the Don Rosa stories of Scrooge

"MOTHER", the series's Japanese title, was inspired by the John Lennon song of the same name. Series creator Shigesato Itoi chose this name because he could heavily relate to the lyrics, which deal with Lennon's experiences growing up without a father. This theme is addressed in the first two entries in the trilogy, where Ninten and Ness's fathers are unseen, appearing solely as voices on a telephone. Itoi also felt that the title "MOTHER" was especially fitting, as the series was more feminine than other RPGs.

Attachment Inside of the Sixth House base of Sharapli (which can be found a bit east of Ghostgate), there is an interesting pool there named the Pool of Forgetfulness. Activating the pool does absolutely nothing, and there is no script associated with the item. It's possible the pool was once meant for a quest, or that the developers simply forgot about it.
