There's an unused sprite in the game's data of what appears to be Mario, though the sprite's palette is more in line with that of his original outfit of red dungarees with a blue shirt.

Due to a printing error, Astal is the only Sega Saturn game released in the United States to not display the game's logo on its spine, which may have led to its poor sales in that region. Retailers would have had to display the case facing forward, rather than its side as standard.
