Attachment In an early prototype build, the Dark Future segment of the game was slightly different. There was also a "cyborg dolphin" boss that was removed from the final release. It was said to be a mini-boss that also had a machine that would drop canisters that would break upon landing. The machine, having not been finished at the time of the prototype yet, uses a crab for a placeholder.

The Swarthy Revenge Indigo dye is an obvious reference to the character Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride. This is supported by the statement in the description, "You have crushed its flowers. Prepare to dye." This is a parody of Inigo Montoya's infamous quote, "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Attachment A tenth playable character called Subordinate Bomber was planned to be in the game, but was cut for unknown reasons. He can still be played by hacking the game and has a complete set of character animations, but has no character icon in the player select screen. The game will freeze on the victory screen because he has no voice clips.

If the player decides to tell NPC's about a job at the winery, speaking to the town's priest, Carter, will result in the choice to do so being written in German. If the player does tell him about the job, Carter's response will also be in German.
The player's two options, when translated, are:
"Tell about the Job."
"Don't tell."
When translated, Carter says:
"A part-time job at the winery sounds like a lot of fun."

Should the dead character be resurrected through console commands, most NPCs will be hostile towards the player.

In an interview with Playboy Magazine, Sam Houser admitted that he got his mother, veteran actress Geraldine Moffat, to do some voice and mo-cap work for Grand Theft Auto V. While she is uncredited in the game, it is widely believed by many that she played Trevor Phillips' mother. They look similar, her actress is not credited, and she has an uncharacteristically English accent for a woman who is supposed to be Canadian.

Attachment Originally, if Mickey used too much thinner when he was in his 'scrapper' mood, he would've turned into a design called 'Thinner Mickey'. Every evil action that Mickey would have done erased his paint and showed more of his basic line-art. The idea was eventually scrapped due to the Disney company not wishing to tarnish Mickey's 'heroic' attitude.

At the begining of Level 7, Thor opens a portal to the Bifrost, and the characters are sent flying through a wormhole which greatly resembles those The Doctor travels through in the fourth season of Dr. Who. Further reinforcing the reference are several blue phone booths also travelling through the wormhole, which resemble The Doctor's TARDIS.

Attachment In Ape Escape 2, in "The Blue Babboon" and "Simian Citdel" levels, one-of-a-kind enemies exclusive to each stage can be found known as the "Space Can" and the "Submarine Lookalike" respectively, neither of which can harm the player in any way. Their Enemy Cards both mention that they "came to the wrong game". Ape Escape 2 was developed by Japan Studio and originally released in Japan on July 18, 2002.

A little over three months later on October 24, Sony published a Japan-exclusive game titled Space Fishermen, a collaboration between Japan Studio and the American animation studio Spümcø, Inc. under the name "Land Ho!". Both characters appear in the game as fish you can catch, presumably having found the correct game they were supposed to be in.

There are two ghost characters in Luigi's Mansion called Henry and Orville, who each use a car and plane in their battles, respectively. The first ghost is a reference to Henry Ford, who was a major contributor to the automobile industry, while the second is a reference to Orville Wright, who, along with his brother, designed and flew the first powered, fully-controllable fixed-wing airplane.

He was supposedly killed by Warwick, and on the Harrowing map, his ghost can come out and attack Warwick.

According to an interview with Hiroyuki Ito, many aspects of turn based systems were inspired by professional sports; the design feature for characters to line up facing the opponent was inspired by formation setups from American football, and the ATB Gauge was inspired by Formula One Racing.

Attachment There was originally going to be a necromorph called the "Flytrap", but the enemy was scrapped sometime during development. It was going to be both an environmental hazard and a regular enemy, intended to encourage the player to slow down, without feeling like an artificial gameplay mechanic. Both of its hands and feet would be stuck to a ceiling, and the skin on its stomach and chest is missing. It would have used its internal organs as a dangling lure, and attacked the player when they got close.

Final Fantasy IV contains several prominent references to the Old Testament, such as the Tower of Babel.

Kain's name comes from the biblical tale of Cain and Abel, in which Cain becomes jealous of Abel and kills him. This parallels the multiple times that Kain betrays Cecil and attempts to kill him. Kain's ultimate weapon is Abel's Lance, alluding to the reference.

Final Fantasy X, like other games in the series, features many references to real world religions and their history. This game in particular alludes to the conflicts between Christianity and Gnosticism; it also depicts the corruption possible within organized religion, and how it can lead to an inversion of its own doctrine.
