While the Koopalings guard each floor of Bowser's castle, two of them, Lemmy and Morton, don't appear in the game. However, a couple voice clips featuring each of them can be found in the PC CD-ROM release's files, suggesting that they may have been considered, either for the original release, or as additional content in the expanded CD-ROM version.

Attachment In the game's ending credits, some of the chips have "HAL" labeled on them, which refers to the development studio (HAL Laboratory) that created the game.

Another of their logos can be seen on an enemy/obstacle named "Box" on the first level of the game (Material Factory). "HALKEN" is composed of "HAL" and the first part of "kenkyuujo", which means "research laboratory".

Attachment Shortly after his introduction, the Human Torch comments that a certain bridge looks like a rainbow road, and it makes him want to race. This is likely a reference to the Rainbow Road seen throughout the Mario series, primarily as a racing track in the Mario Kart games.

Some of this game's music is based directly on classical themes. The music from the Doc Amok segment in Totem Hokum is based on Flight of the Bumblebee. The music from the worm chase in the same level is based on the Blue Danube Waltz. Finally, the music in the chase scene with Rusty Walrus is based on the first part of the Hebrides Overture.

After the game's ending plays, there are several things that will happen if the game is left running, and it's possible to trigger a hidden message from a programmer named Hidemushi. First, the ending photo will change to black and white after waiting 18 minutes, and then sepia after another 18 minutes. After 55 more minutes, the music will then stop, and pressing A + B + Start + Select + Left on Controller 1 and A + B + Right on Controller 2 will cause some new music to play. Pressing B + Select + Right on Controller 1 and B + Right + Down on Controller 2 will start Hidemushi's message, calling out everyone that he had to put up with while developing the game and thanking those who did help him. Once Hidemushi's message stops, press A + B + Up on Controller 1 for his last message, a dedication to his wife. After waiting 18 more minutes, the game goes back to the title screen.

Two exclusive songs play during this hidden message. The first track is a remix from The Karate Kid NES game, while the other track is completely new and starts playing when the message 「そういえば　せわになった ひともいたな・・・・・」 appears, translated in English to "Come to think of it, some people were helpful to me, too." Both games were composed by Hirohiko Takayama. Both songs, unlike the rest of the game, use the Famicom's basic onboard audio system rather than the Namco 163 audio expansion chip which supports up to 8 additional channels.

Attachment Mentats, which temporarily increase a player's PE (Perception), IN (Intelligence) and CH (Charisma), are a direct reference to the novel series Dune, written by Frank Herbert.

In the novel, Mentats are super-intelligent human beings that undergo special training that gives them the cognitive and analytical abilities of electronic computers, replacing sentient machines altogether.

During the 'Pudding's Secret Plans' drama track on the CD 'Space Channel 5 Part 2 Soundtrack Vol. Chu!!', Pudding says to her bodyguards, "Doesn't it look like I'm playing?". This may indicate that Pudding isn't actually playing her instrument during her guitar duel with Ulala in Space Channel 5: Part 2, and casts doubt on her ability to play at all.

The Ancient Tongue which the Laguz characters speak is actually just a heavily stylized English font. The pieces of Ancient Tongue that appear on the game's menus can be translated, and when placed in order, form a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, specifically a love poem that Hamlet sends to Ophelia: "Doubt that the Stars are fire / Doubt that the Sun does not move / Doubt truth to be a liar, / But never doubt I love." The quote has no relevance to the game's plot, but is a neat reference to a famous line.

Attachment A cancelled game, called "Crash Landed", was in development by Radical Entertainment. It appears it would have been a reboot of the series. The plot was based around Crash trying to save primitive bandicoots (or 'bandicutes' as they were called in the concept art) from Neo Cortex. Dingodile would have served as a secondary antagonist.

The game was cancelled in 2010 after two years of development. After Activision acquired the rights to publish the franchise, they decided to lay off the entire Radical Entertainment studio behind Crash Landed. Activision's decision to not pass the project to a different studio suddenly halted its progress forever.

The name Crash Landed would later be given to the name of a level in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time a decade later, of which according to Toys for Bob's Felix Artifex was intentionally named after the cancelled game.
