This game marks Mario's only appearance as the bad guy in a Nintendo game. Shigeru Miyamoto did this to show shades of grey in Mario and Donkey Kong, and also that not everything is as it seems.

Originally, Kojima was not going to be a part of the creation of the game aside from providing the overall guidelines and concepts for the project. However, he noticed that the team did not understand the story's themes about nuclear deterrence and the cold war (admitting that it was most likely because of generational differences) and stepped in to make sure the game turned out how he envisioned.

This game was the first appearance of the common Mario enemy Boos. They were actually based off of game designer Takashi Tezuka's wife, who would normally shy away from people, but had an explosive temper, triggered by the high amount of time Tezuka was spending at work.

In the Katy Perry song "I Kissed a Girl", the word 'cherry' is censored for some reason. It's possible that this is due to the possibility of the word cherry being used as an innuendo for "popping someone's cherry" (being the one to make them lose their virginity).

The "these pretzels suck" and Butt Stallion dialogue spoken by Handsome Jack were ad-libbed by voice actor Dameon Clarke. Writer Anthony Burch was upset that these became Handsome Jack's most popular lines as he had no hand in writing them.

"This was an adlib by Dameon Clarke, the voice of Handsome Jack. It's easily Jack's single most popular line, and I didn't frigging write it. I will never forgive Dameon for this."
