Attachment In the arcade version the main boss was named Lucifer, while in the console versions he was named Loki. This change was made to reduce the strong religious reference to the biblical Satan.

Attachment All of the religious symbolism in the game was either replaced (such as the cross boss and the grave at the end of the game) or removed (such as the alter in the church). Strangely, even though the alter was removed and the church was turned into a long hallway, the church music still plays, and the candles from the alter are now floating.

The game's developer, Jordan Mechner, wanted the prince's movements be as fluent and life like as possible. To do this, he video taped his brother, David, going through the prince's motions and rotoscoped each frame into the game.

There were originally different endings for each of the racers. They were filmed with real actors and some differ to the final endings. The endings were dropped for numerous reasons, most notably, the campness and cheesiness of the endings themselves, the poor production quality, and the fact that they were using the working title of 'High Octane'. The endings can be found in Twisted Metal: Head-On Extra Twisted Edition.

There are two hidden armor parts that X can receive.

The first is hidden in Doppler Stage 1, which is only available if X has found all items and has NOT taken any of the enhancement chips. The capsule contains a Hyper Chip that grants him gold armor and the effects of all the other chips.

The second is in Doppler Stage 2. If the player has killed Vile before this stage and has allowed Zero to survive, using Zero through the stage makes him engage a miniboss. The fight ends with him getting damaged, and he gives X his Z Saber before retreating. Without arm enhancements it works basically like how Zero uses it in game, but with the arm parts the slash becomes a flying beam like Zero uses in Mega Man X2.

The reason the boss cannot be fought when Vile lives is that the second Doppler stage is left in derelict condition, all the windows blown out by explosions. Presumably, this is because Vile, in his insanity towards X, did a tremendous amount of damage to the building before his arrival, and the flying miniboss escaped out the open window.

Attachment Walter Sullivan, the game's antagonist, was actually foreshadowed in Silent Hill 2. Walter is first mentioned in a newspaper scrap citing how he killed twins Billy and Miriam Locane, and then killing himself promptly after. This is referenced heavily in the plot of Silent Hill 4, not to mention that the enemy "Twin Victims" are personifications of the twins.

Inside the room are the couple from the first Dead Island trailer, in which the couple fought off zombies to protect themselves, and their daughter, who tragically turned into a zombie during the fight.

Although Ubisoft now owns the rights to the "Prince of Persia" name, the original IP rights are still owned by Jordan Mechner, the developer of the first game. This means that should Ubisoft want to make a new "Prince of Persia" game, they must ask Jordan Mechner's for the right to do so.

Attachment Nightwing's Regime costume is Damian Wayne. This makes Nightwing one of several characters to have different people as alternative costumes. Spoiler:It is revealed during the game that the alternate dimension version of Damian killed Dick Grayson, the current true Nightwing, took his mantle and joined Superman's regime.

The other characters with different people as costumes are Green Lantern (with a John Stewart costume) and Superman's Cyborg outfit (which is actually a character named Hank Henshaw.)

During the first fight with an Assault Commander boss, Duke says, "I'm going to kill you old style!" This is a reference to the Youtube video Ventrilo Harassment where a Ventrilo user is harassed by someone with a Duke Nukem soundboard. The voice actor for Duke Nukem, John St. John, has mentioned in interviews that he has seen the Ventrillo Harassment video, which probably lead to the line being in the game.

"It's awesome, especially the Ventrillo Harassment! I LOVE that fans have used my voice to create some very funny videos and soundboards."

Attachment The term "Werehog" is derived from the words werewolf and hedgehog. However, this is a misnomer, considering that the "were" in werewolf derives from the Old English "wer", meaning "man", which means he is incorrectly referred to as a "Manhog". A "Manhog" would be a man who can morph into a pig, or someone who is half man, half pig.

Attachment Gears were a type of block that were available in Indev 0.31 which could be used in a similar way to redstone. They could only be placed on the side of blocks, and were never available in the release versions. In earlier builds players could hack the game to make them accessible, but the files were removed in later updates.

Mario's hair is brown, while his mustache is black. This was because around the time of Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario's creators wanted him to have a definite hair color in game, while it was easier to draw his mustache by extending the black outline of his nose.
