Some houses in the game have paintings of Sir Arthur from Ghosts 'n Goblins, another series developed by Capcom.

Karn, whose name was Danc in the Japanese version, received a "race-lift" in the overseas release, going from a pale, almost ash-grey skin-tone to vaguely Arabian-looking. Given that the face portrait seems to be done in the stereotypical (and culturally offensive in the west) "Blackface"-style, it isn't too surprising this was changed.

Chun-Li, from the Street Fighter series, makes a cameo appearance in the game. In Bleak, speak to the magician who says that he can make 100g disappear. Answer "yes" twice, "no" twice, and then yes. You'll see Chun-Li in a small room performing her famous Lightning Kick.

A pink palette-swapped sprite of Chun-Li can also appear in this area if you answer "no" 24 times, and then on the 25th time answer "yes". This pink Chun-Li can also make a cameo appearance in the Good Ending under the condition that Ryu is equipped with the Broken Sword when the Goddess Tyr is defeated. However, this variant of the Easter egg cannot be triggered in the Game Boy Advance version.
