Attachment In the original game, the screen flashes black, red, and white when the thunder strikes the title screen. The Virtual Console release changes this to a single slower pink flash, as part of the Nintendo re-release tradition of lessening the chance of causing epileptic seizures.

Attachment In the original Japanese and European versions, Paul Chuck's song had a line about "chopping trees down for fun". In the US, this was changed to "Knowing that we're here for the fun" in Lammy's song, and changed two times due to being repeated in PaRappa's version: "Rockin' to the beat just for fun" and "Rollin' up high in the sun". The censored version is used in Um Jammer Lammy NOW.

Stage 1 of Um Jammer Lammy was incomplete in the original PlayStation version, not being accessible in either multiplayer or PaRappa's story. With a GameShark code, a US player can access an unfinished version of PaRappa's stage 1, which has no animations and only uses triangle buttons. Stage 1 would eventually be finished for Um Jammer Lammy NOW!, released 9 months after the PlayStation version, with Rammy and PaRappa support.

Stage 1 is the only PaRappa stage to use the instrumental of the Lammy version.

Attachment Print adverts for Zoop give the pieces in the game their own names:

• The olive-shaped green piece is called "Ganggreenus"
• The martini-glass-shaped purple piece is called "Martinicocki"
• The boomerang-shaped blue piece is called "Infectococci"
• The baby's-dummy-shaped orange piece is called "Lockjawbacilli"
• The yellow splat-shaped piece, used as a power-up in the game, is called "Fungusamungus"
• A spiral-shaped piece, not present in the game but resembling the spring power-ups, is called "Mosquitick"

It should be noted that the splat and spring pieces are given different names in the game's manual: "Color Bomb" and "Bonus Spring" respectively.

The patterned square pieces from the Game Boy version of the game do not have names.

Attachment According to Raww Le Klueze, global admin of the Suikosource forums, there are three unused sprites found in the PC version that appear to be part of an unused Blue Gate summon or something similar. The three sprites are supposed to appear in different spots on the screen which would explain why they are looking in different directions.

To support that idea, in the Gensou Suikoden II 108 Stars Character Guide (published only in Japan by Konami), within a section detailing a scrapped idea to summon spirits of other elements, there are a few characters resembling the three unused sprites if they were mixed together.

In the US PSP and PS4 versions of PaRappa the Rapper, PJ Berri and Katy Kat's Chunky Burger orders in the intro are censored - in the PS1 version they ask for a "giant vanilla frosty" and a "large chocolate frosty" respectively, but in the remastered version they instead ask for a "giant vanilla" and "large chocolate". The subtitles for PJ's order completely omit any drink from his order. This is due to "Frosty" (in the context of a drink) being trademarked by Wendy's. Despite this copyright issue, the claim from Katy Kat that Jet Baby could defeat Superman goes uncensored.

In the Japanese version of Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Alex eats a rice ball at the end of each stage. The 1990 US revision of the game changes this to a hamburger.

In Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX, a Spanish omelette and fish & chips are added as options, possibly in tribute to the Master System's popularity in Spain and the United Kingdom.

Attachment Contrary to popular belief, the Janken battles in Alex Kidd in Miracle World are not RNG-based, but instead always have a set winning move.

•Stone-Head: Rock, Scissors
•Scissor-Head: Scissors, Paper
•Paper-Head: Rock, Scissors
•Stone-Head Rematch: Rock, Scissors
•Scissor-Head Rematch: Rock, Rock
•Paper-Head Rematch: Rock, Scissors
•Janken the Great: Paper, Paper

If you incorrectly answer, that will change the answers from that point on.

In the Sega Ages release of the game for Nintendo Switch, one of the game's borders has the correct Janken moves on the top and bottom.
