There's a hidden test level called "Citadel" found in the game's coding. It was designed during the early stages of multiplayer and had it been functional in the finished game, Oddjob and Mayday wouldn't have been available to play.

The level can only be accessed through the use of a cheat device. As an obvious test level, however, there are numerous glitches which prevent it from being properly playable.

At the end of No More Heroes, Jeane reveals her backstory is allegedly "too terrible" and will "jack up the age rating of the game". She also makes a reference that "you don't want this game to become No More Heroes Forever, a joke about Duke Nukem Forever's long development period. She then proceeds to tell her backstory at a sped up speed so that it is absolutely impossible to understand what she says. Slowing this down reveals a very horrible story:

"You are my half brother. You know that manga called Miyuki? The Japanese one. Well, it's like that. Your father abandoned my mother to run off with your mother. It broke her heart beyond repair. She killed herself. Knowing I had nowhere to go, he took advantage of me. Ever since I can remember, he molested me. We lived in this rotten apartment... And I was his slave. Every day I cursed his soul. I swore that I would kill him one day. But cursing didn't change anything. That's when I decided to become a killer. With no money to pay for training, I paid with my body. But to you, I bet that son of a bitch looked like a hard-working family man. That was all an act. He didn't give two shits about cleaning up my life so I decided to clean it up myself. That's why I do what I do. And I got what I wanted. Killing him in front of your very eyes. That's my story."

The development team wanted to give the player the feeling that the game "was physically opposing you, not simply as a simulation, but also as the game itself." This includes things like the loading screens eventually ending up giving you irritating messages about how you've messed up and everything you've done wrong instead of gameplay tips.

Yager, the developers of the Single Player of the game, have been outwardly spoken about their displeasure about the inclusion of multiplayer in the game, developed by an external team, being forced into the game by 2K Games.

Cory Davis, lead designer of the game, has gone so far as to say that it "sheds a negative light on all of the meaningful things we did in the single-player experience." He has also referred to the multiplayer as "another game rammed onto the disk like a cancerous growth", that is was "tacked on", "low-quality", "bullshit", "should not exist", and "tossed out the creative pillars of the product".

Blizzard decided at the last minute to include licensed classic rock songs in the soundtrack, a rarity when the game was released. Of course at the time, these had to be remade in a chiptune style.
The track listings for the game are:
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Henry Mancini - The Peter Gunn Theme
Deep Purple - Highway Star
Golden Earring - Radar Love (Genesis version only)
Steppenwolf - Born to Be Wild
George Thorogood - Bad to the Bone

The game features a sound test mode, though this went largely unnoticed until well over a decade after the game came out due to the obscure way in which it is accessed. You must first complete the game, watch the ending cinematic, and wait for the game to reset itself. You must then open a saved game and hold start and down while Simone finishes talking and the screen fades out. The only way to exit this mode is to reset your console.

The North American version of the game displays an incorrect border on the dialogue box, but it still functions correctly.

The Saturn version includes a number of extra areas and features unavailable in the PlayStation version. Most infamously being that of the Underground Garden, as the entrance is still visible in the PlayStation version, though inaccessible. The player can glitch the game into allowing access to this area, but it is unfinished and only a glitched out save point is available.

There have been two non-profit Chrono fangames which received a substantial amount of coverage that were ultimately shutdown by Square Enix.

The first was Chrono Resurrection, a 3D remake of the original for PC, Xbox, Gamecube and the Nintendo 64. The second was Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes, a ROM hack of the original game which served as a sequel set five years after.

Both projects were stopped in 2004 and 2009 respectively, after receiving a cease and desist letter from Square Enix. An alpha version of Crimson Echoes has since been leaked online.

An upgraded special edition release of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 (which was known as Dragon Ball Z 2 in Japan) was released exclusively in Japan and titled "Dragon Ball Z 2 V".

Only 1000 copies were produced and sent out to readers of the magazine V Jump. This version featured a special Tenka'ichi Budōkai stage with V-Jump plastered over the ring, all characters unlocked from the start, and an alternate Coola costume for Freeza.

However, players were unable to save the game and all capsules were automatically assigned to characters.

McDohl's name has a bizarre glitch when transferring data from Suikoden to Suikoden II. In canon, the hero's name in the first game is Tir McDohl, however the game only transfers the capital letters of the name across, so naming him Tir will result in his name being TcDohl in Suikoden II. In order for his name to be McDohl in the second name, you would have to name him something with only a capital M in the first game. If you name him something in full capitals, it will all be transferred across, for example, naming him TIR will result in his name being TIRohl.

Franchise: Suikoden

Throughout the first three installments, the characters are given a scene in which they must use a fake name. Schtolteheim Reinbach III is an option for a name in all of the games; Viktor uses it in Suikoden 1, the player can give the name to Flik in Suikoden II, and Chris can use it in Suikoden III.

Schtolteheim Reinbach III appears as a character in the fourth installment, which is a prequel to the other games, based around 150 years prior to the events of these games. This would suggest that his name is notable throughout history for some reason.
