Hanging above the window before being obscured by menu borders is a poster featuring the "devil" logo from Wave Race: Blue Storm, a game which shares characters with and takes place in the same universe as 1080° Avalanche and its predecessor 1080° Snowboarding.

The first boss in the game, the Stinger, has a simple way to be skipped entirely. To do this, the player must run up to the Stinger and drop an item in front of it, then turn around and wait for the boss to lunge at them. If the player picks up the item they just dropped at the right time, they’ll become invulnerable, and the scorpion’s attack will go straight through them. The player can then back out of the menu and simply run past the Stinger to safety.

Attachment The Sage Job introduced in the Endwalker expansion pack had its icon changed prior to the expansion's release due to player feedback. Originally it featured holes in the nouliths represented on the icon, however due to concern from players who suffer from trypophobia, a phobia towards clusters of small holes or bumps, the game's director Naoki Yoshida felt compelled to have the holes filled to ensure all players felt comfortable in the game.

In an update released in July 2021, scenes featuring the player harming or killing themselves were removed entirely, despite having an option of skipping them. The reason according to the developers was due to the scenes being considered sensitive for current times. In a blog post, the development team explained about the change that "considering the sensitive time we're living in, we can do better than that. You deserve better. All scenes alluding to self-harm are now completely removed from the game. These scenes have no place in Superhot Virtual Reality. We regret it took us so long."

The update immediately received backlash from the player base who considered the scenes integral to the game's story and called the move by the developers as "virtue signalling," In repose, the game's Steam page was review bombed with overwhelmingly negative ratings and reviews with Steam attempting to combat it.

Attachment Within the debug menu of T.H.U.G 2, there is an option to instantly grant the player a score of five million points.

When this debug function is activated, the text near the bottom of the screen in which the name of a trick performed during a combo would appear, instead the phrase, "You cheat like Kurt" fills in.

References to "Kurt" are a running inside joke within Neversoft, with numerous respective instances occurring in both Tony Hawk's Underground 1 as well as Underground 2 as Easter Eggs.

A spin-off for the Nintendo DS titled Mass Effect: Corsair was in early development but ultimately cancelled. The reason for its cancellation was due to high production costs for the DS game cartridge, according to ex-BioWare producer Mark Darrah. EA predicted the game would only sell 50,000 units with each cartridge costing $10.50 USD to produce.

Corsair would've been a combination of the games Privateer and Star Control set "in a part of the galaxy that was more piratey and not really fully explored". You'd play as an independent character exploring, collecting cargo, and selling information to the Human alliance. The development team had already started working on the flight controls and overall story before it was cancelled.

There is a secret portal located towards the upper-left corner of the level "The Project". Going in it will take Gex to a hidden room with a unique enemy blocking an exit to the level; a random man walking towards Gex. Hitting the man will cause him to vomit, and his kill animation shows large amounts of blood shooting out of his neck before dying. It's unknown who this person is, though it could be a self-insert by one of the game's developers.

Attachment While the Evoker Illager is not engaged in combat and "/gamerule mobGriefing" is set to "true", it can change the color of the wool of any blue sheep within 16 blocks to red. It signals the spell by producing orange particles and making a "wololo" sound. This is a reference to the Priest special unit in Age of Empires who after making that sound can turn enemy units into friendly units, thereby changing that unit's color. Mojang's developers first noticed the similarities between the Priest and the Evoker in the latter's spell-casting animation when it holds up its arms, and because Age of Empires and Minecraft were both owned by Microsoft, they were able to use the same "wololo" audio clip from Age of Empires for the Evoker in Minecraft.

In the Japanese version of the game, the Zora Queen's smooth gem is not a source of her power. The gem is actually her secret to beauty, and she turned fat when she lost her gem. Any reference was changed to power in the US version.

One of the Zora in Zora's Domain says he's fond of the Queen being fat, but in the US he just says that they have to get the gem back. After getting the gem back to Oren, that same Zora was disappointed that Oren became slim again. Another Zora mentions the queen's beauty returning, but it was changed to just "What a relief."

After completing the House of Gales, a Zora says that he was swimming with the queen but lost her, even saying that he lost her because she was so slim. In the US version, nothing about weight was mentioned. It seems likely that these changes were made as Nintendo of America didn't want people to think the game was fat shaming people.

Attachment Two unused sprites in the SNES version of the game are demonic parodies of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, likely intended for the Tokyo Destinyland theme park, based on the real-life Tokyo Disneyland park.

In the PC Engine release of the game, two much less similar-looking parodies of the characters appear in Tokyo Destinyland as NPCs under the names "Zombie Mouse" and "Demon Duck", possibly as a workaround to copyright issues with The Walt Disney Company due to parodies not falling under fair use in Japanese copyright law.
