P.P. Hammer and his Pneumatic Weapon level designer Gunnar Lieder claimed that the level layouts of The Real Ghostbusters/Garfield Labyrinth/Mickey Mouse IV: Mahou no Labyrinth were directly copied from P.P. Hammer without their permission, and that Demonware never had any connections with Crazy Castle developer Kemco.

The game's data contains sprites depicting Kid Klown and Princess Honey from Kid Klown in Night Mayor World, with them filling the roles of the protagonist and damsel in distress, respectively. This indicates that the game was originally devised as a Kid Klown title before being retooled around the Mickey Mouse, Garfield, and Ghostbusters franchises (depending on the region) midway through development. Ironically, Kid Klown in Night Mayor World was itself a retooled English localization of a Mickey Mouse game.
