When the PlayStation 2 was revealed in Japan, a demo was shown off of a fountain of spark particles. When this demo was shown to Jon Burton, founder of Traveller's Tales, he coded an identical tech demo for the first PlayStation as a joke. This tech demo would ultimately end up in the files of Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!, unused, by accident.

Traveler's Tales had intended to slide a Christian Easter egg into Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!, inserting a sticker on a suitcase reading "JOHN 3:16", a citation for a Bible verse reading:

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

When Disney saw it, they insisted that it be removed, so in the final game the sticker simply reads "NY CITY".

One of the enemies in the game was censored in the European release and all Dreamcast versions due to looking like a stereotypical Mexican bandito. They censored the character by turning his hair blond, giving him a white hat, and changing his clothing. However, the character remains uncensored in the American PlayStation release or any of the Nintendo 64 versions.
