In a prototype version of M.C. Kids, an unused sprite can be found of the Hamburglar where he appears to have a beard. At that point, the Hamburglar had never been portrayed with a beard - though, in 2015, a new iteration of the Hamburglar, portrayed without a mascot head and aimed at an older demographic, would be introduced, and he would have a beard.

The blurb for the box of M.C Kids claims the game was developed with consultation from a qualified developmental psychologist named Frank Manis. While Frank Manis is a real person with a legitimate Ph.D. dating back to 1981, he is not credited in-game.
