In Part III: Three Sheets to the Wind, the performance of the song "A pirate I was meant to be" was not played in non-English versions of the game. It's speculated the section was removed due to its intense usage of English rhymes, which would have been difficult to translate.

At the Blood Island beach, choosing to "Pick Up" the seawater about 26 times will cause Guybrush to walk into the water, where he'll appear under the Mêlée Island pier from The Secret of Monkey Island. There he will find his own drowned corpse from that game, on which he'll comment "Hmmm... That guy probably couldn't hold his breath underwater for very long." and walk off.

In "Part VI: Guybrush Kicks Butt Once Again", there was originally a scene where Guybrush is seen waving to Elaine who had escaped from LeChuck and, in a fight, changes the track of the roller coaster so Guybrush isn't sent to the pool of lava. Although cut from the game, the storyboards of the scene were however made available in the official strategy guide.
An animated image of Guybrush waving which matched the scene was seen in an advertisement for the game in German magazine "Bravo Screenfun".
