Attachment After talking to Zack a few times when he picks up your shipment, he will speak Japanese. The text says:

[Name]、
けっこう牧場がにあってんじゃねぇか？
これでも、ほめてんだぜ～。

Translated to English it says:
(Hey) [Name],
It's become a pretty nice farm, hasn't it?
From the way things look, it's pretty admirable.

Attachment Gol Dodo (JP Version) had much darker skin than Zann (US version). In a forum post on their official message boards, Natsume responded as to why they changed his skin color:

"Normally, we're happy to see ethnically diverse characters in Harvest Moon games. However, Zann had a lot of characteristics that in the West are sometimes associated with hurtful and outdated stereotypes of native African people. The skull on his head, the fact that he spoke in broken English, etc. Unfortunately, it just wasn't possible to completely change his character design and rewrite all of his dialogue, so changing his skin color seemed to be the best fix. Again, we're happy to see ethnically diverse characters in Harvest Moon games, but not when they're reinforcing negative stereotypes that a lot of our players will find hurtful and offensive."

Attachment BlackFlag (one of the developers for the game) said that the Guitar Guy (Kyle Justin), looks like a skeleton in Adventures because he was originally going to look like himself and have dialogue. Later in development, Kyle decided not to have his likeness in the game. His appearance was changed into a skeleton and his dialogue was replaced. The new character is a reference to the Angry Video Game Nerd's Ikari Wars review, where it's revealed that Kyle died, but is revived later in the episode.

The original sprite of Kyle can still be seen on the game's box art.

Snake appears to dislike Sonic according to his Smash Taunt conversation with Otacon when battling the hedgehog. Whilst the reasons are mostly unclear, one popular theory is that it references how Snake's Japanese VA, Akio Otsuka, is the son of Chikao Otsuka, who voices Sonic's nemesis, Doctor Eggman/Robotnik. Coincidentally, Chikao also voices Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid 4. It's also possible Snake's disliking of Sonic is a reference to how hedgehogs eat snakes in the wild.

Attachment Hidden on the outskirts of the stage Aeropolis Multiplex lies a fully animated R.O.B. model from the Port Town courses. It is cleverly placed behind a few of Aeropolis's many buildings off to the left of Mother Q. It can been seen by Space Flying to the edge of the map, though it is very difficult to get into view as the game only renders R.O.B. from certain angles. It is much easier to see it by accessing Multiplex through the debug menu.

In SSB and Melee the first syllable of "Samus" is pronounced /sɑ/ ("saw"). However, in Brawl, it's pronounced /sæ/ ("sah"). This change in pronunciation is consistent with the way Samus is pronounced in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

In the opening sequence to the game, there is a short moment where Fox - piloting his Arwing, crosses paths with Wolf in his Wolfen. A mugshot of the two characters in their cockpits is briefly seen. In early days of the game's release, this led to much speculation of Wolf playing a role in the game, perhaps as a playable character. However, this was not the case.

Sol Badguy is partially based off of Freddie Mercury, former frontman for the rock band Queen. This includes his name as a nod to Mercury's nickname "Mr. Bad Guy," as well as his leitmotif in the games being called "Keep Yourself Alive," sharing its name with the first song from Queen's debut album. Sol's headband is also inscribed with the words "Rock You," a reference to Queen's song "We Will Rock You."

According to Sol's official bio, his main hobby is listening to Queen, and his favourite album is "Sheer Heart Attack." This may also tie in to his role as Daisuke Ishiwatari's alter ego, as Ishiwatari admits to being a fan of Queen.
