The language select screen in It's Mr. Pants has a bug that makes the sound clips played for each language overlap when they are being selected. Paul Machacek, a designer for the game, says that when QA testers approached the development team with this bug, they overruled it because they felt it was funnier than they intended it to be, keeping it in the final release.

The gameplay was originally viewable in both 2D and isometric 3D layouts (whilst being developed as Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers), however there were consistency issues when switching between the layouts. It was also hard for players to see the board whilst in 3D and wasn't to the expectations of the developers.
