There is a method on breeding Shiny Pokemon called the Masuda method. The method is named after Game Freak director Junichi Masuda, who programmed it into Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. He documented the method in his blog, where he mentioned a way that "rare colored Pokémon's Egg can be found little easier." The Masuda method involves breeding two Pokémon created in games of different countries.

During the Gibberish Questions Segment, if the players type in "fuck you" as an answer, the host will react in a number of ways, ranging from talking down to the player, taking away large sums of their money, changing their name, and eventually, if all players use that same answer, shut down the game.

Depending on which animal Link befriends, the landscape of certain areas in Holodrum and Labrynna will change. If Link had Moosh join them, some areas within these regions will resemble a wasteland-like area filled with many pits that Moosh can fly over. If Link had Ricky join him, then some areas within these regions may resemble a prairie-like landscape with the occasional cliffs and a couple of holes that Ricky can jump over. If Link had Dimitri join him, then some areas within these regions may resemble a large lake or river with many waterfalls, which will require the use of Dimitri's help.

Attachment The space marine makes many faces in the game depending on the player's status. One of these faces is a "shocked" face known colloquially amongst Doom fans as the "Ouch Face", which rarely makes an appearance due to a coding error in which the programmers used "(plyr->health - st_oldhealth > ST_MUCHPAIN)" instead of the correct expression "(st_oldhealth - plyr->health > ST_MUCHPAIN)". While this face was meant to show up if the player took 20 or more hit points worth of damage in a single tic, the error meant that it only displayed when the player "gained" 20 hit points while taking damage. An example of this can be seen when attempting to use the IDDQD cheat during the very end of E1M8: Phobos Anomaly.

A number of source ports fix this behaviour, allowing the Ouch face to display as originally intended.

A number of infected that were visible in concept art were cut from the final game. These include:
• An infected with a large colony of rats bursting from its stomach, likely to be found in the sewer.
• A slow but strong giant called "Meat Wall" (which resembles a cross between a Boomer and a Tank).
• An infected named "Claws", which was possibly intended to be a male version of the Witch.
• An infected pig named "Hell Hog", likely intended for Blood Harvest.

Q*bert's cube pyramid gameplay came from an "Escher Pattern", which looked like a screen full of cubes. Warren Davis saw it as a pyramid of cubes and as a programing exercise. Once Davis had a game design in mind, he asked Jeff Lee if he could use a few characters, which Lee was planning to use for another, unrelated game. According to Davis, Lee's idea for Q*bert's design was for him to shoot things out of his nose, which is why he has a long nose.
