In the scrap-filled area in Shy Guy Jungle, hidden among the scraps of trashed paper are the following two messages:
Parakarry was a party member from Paper Mario, while Goombella was a party member from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. These are the only two references to earlier Paper Mario titles in the game.
Thank you for your letter.
Sorry I'm not here to receive it, but I
will get back to you shortly. Thanks.
Parakarry

Holding the Punch button anytime during gameplay will make Sketch rip a piece of paper from the background and make a paper airplane out of it. The paper airplane travels back and forth across the panel, causing massive damage to all enemies, including the player. However, doing this trick will also make the player lose a certain amount of health.
The North American physical release of Metroid Prime: Remastered has reversible cover art. In the same way that the North American release's cover art was remade, the reversible cover art features a remake of the artwork used for the Japanese release of the original game. It's currently unknown if the Japanese physical release will feature reversible artwork from the North American release.

In the North American release, the game came with a pin-up poster featuring a blonde woman using the pole holding up a BMX bike cushion to pole dance on. The size of the pin-up varies with each port of the game, with the GameCube version's being double the size of the rest as the back side of it features a map of the game's first area, The Bronx, NYC.
However, that's not the only pin-up to come with the North American release of the game. The cover art is reversible, and if you flip it over to the back side you will find a pin-up of a redheaded woman in lingerie sitting backwards on a BMX bike, with tattoos of logos for the game and for the AKA Acclaim brand on each of her buttocks.

Mickey is based off Mickey O'Neil from the 2000 film Snatch directed by Guy Ritchie. Not only both characters are connected to caravans (Mickey lives Caravan Camp while Mickey O'Neil is a traveler interested in caravans), but Mickey is stated to be the twin brother of Tyler (who is based off Fight Club's Tyler Durden), referencing how both Mickey O'Neil and Tyler Durden were portrayed by actor Brad Pitt.

In the game, Reimu Hakurei from the Touhou Project series makes an official appearance as "Flying Maiden". The reason for this is likely because ZUN, the series' creator, was involved in the development of the game as a programmer at Taito at the time.

It's possible to skip Spoiler:Nyx Avatar, the final boss of the game. Spoiler:If you go to Paulownia Mall on January 31st and start the Social Link with President Tanaka (provided you gave him money at least twice beforehand), you'll automatically jump to March 3rd en route to the good ending.

The music used in the game's opening cutscene, main menu/map screen, and end credits is taken almost note-for-note from Max Steiner's "Polka Melody", featured in the 1933 film adaptation of the novel "Little Women".
