Attachment In the prototype version of the game, the title screen was presented in a sepia tone, rather than the red & blue colors in the final release. The story was also slightly reworded from the prototype that said Mario heard a "faint" voice, rather than in the final release where it simply states that Mario heard a voice.

The game was released in Europe and Japan as Donald in Maui Mallard, but in the US, it was released as Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow, and all references to Donald Duck were removed. This was due to Disney's marketing department, who claimed that Donald Duck was no longer 'hip' in the US.

Perfect Dark Zero was originally being developed as a Nintendo GameCube launch title, and made a small appearance at Nintendo's Spaceworld 2000 event, but was not completed in time. After Microsoft bought Rare, development was shifted to the Xbox, and later to the Xbox 360 to become a launch title for that console.

Attachment Inside the game's files is an unused animation for King Lakitu. It shows him being hit so hard that his glasses fall off, causing him to search his face for them. However, the animation appears unfinished, as his fingers do not move, and his expression does not change.

This is the last game for which Deem Bristow recorded the voice for Dr. Eggman, though some of his clips were reused in Sonic Riders and Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity after his death in 2005. This is also the last Sonic game to use the original English voice actors before being replaced with the 4Kids Entertainment voice actors.

Attachment Rosalina was originally going to have a beehive hairstyle along with short straight-cut bangs, and long, curly locks in front of her ears. She also had more unique facial features, rather than looking similar to Peach. Her dress, however, was changed to look less like that of Peach or Daisy.

The fez on Judas' head is a referential jab at FEZ creator Phil Fish, who voted against Edmund McMillen and his team at the Independent Games Festival. The name "Judas" likely was intended to evoke Judas Iscariot of the New Testament, and suggests that the character Judas represents Fish's betrayal of Edmund.
