The battle with Screaming Mantis is a reference to the original battle with Psycho Mantis. The boss music is "Mantis' Hymn." When Mantis screams 'BLACKOUT!', the screen will turn black and a green "Hideo 2" will appear in the corner. If you try to switch the controller port to Player 2, you can't move and Otacon will tell you that the trick won't work this time. Spoiler:After the battle, Psycho Mantis' ghost will appear and try to read your memory card again. He will also try to move your controller via the rumble feature.

Because the storyline and graphic FMVs were more horrifying than any video game that had yet been released, head developer Kenji Eno resorted to a trick in order to get D published.

The game was originally developed with no storyline, and Eno kept the story sequences a secret even from the other members of WARP. When the game was finished, he submitted a 'clean' version (i.e. without the violent and disturbing story content of the complete version) for approval.

He deliberately submitted the master disc late, knowing that part of the penalty was that he would have to deliver it by hand to the manufacturers in the USA. While on the plane, he switched the phony 'clean' discs with the finalized discs, thus completely bypassing all censorship.

Shinjiro Aragaki's persona, Castor, and Akihiko Sanada's persona, Polydeuces, are twins. Spoiler:This foreshadows how they are connected and also which of the two would die during the game. The orginal Greek myth that serves as the origin of their names depicts Castor dying and Polydeuces living on.

Attachment Blade Master Alastor is really the personification of the Alastor sword from Devil May Cry. Many of his moves are taken from the game, and the sword and lightning he uses look very similar. When fighting Dante in the PS2 version, Alastor will berate Dante about mistreating and forgetting him.

Attachment The Famicom Disk System version of Super Mario Bros. also contains World 0-1 but it is a full-fledged world with complete programming.

• 0-1 is a differently-textured version of 1-3, though it takes place underwater (even though there is no visible water and features bizarre elements, such as floating Princess Toadstools and floating, headless Bowsers).

• 0-2 is a carbon copy of 7-3.

• 0-3 is a copy of 4-4 that lacks its False Bowser and maze-like elements, features a different color palate (i.e. blue lava), and floating bloopers that can be stomped for 1000 points.

After beating 0-3, the player is taken back to the title screen (with the activation of hard mode upon starting the game), as if they had beaten the game.
