According to Tetsuya Nomura, the aesthetic and environment design for part of the Hercules-based "Olympus" world was primarily inspired by California's Yosemite National Park, despite, story-wise, taking place in Ancient Greece. This decision came about when co-director Tai Yasue had visited the real-world location.

Originally, the region of Johto was based on the entirety of Japan, rather than just the Kansai region, with towns and dungeons based on areas within the country, such as Hokkaido (called North in the Spaceworld 97 demo), Osaka (which was called West and likely became Goldenrod City) and Mt. Fuji (which likely became Mt. Silver). Due to this, Kanto, which was based on the region in Japan of the same name, was compressed into a single map, with Blue as the Gym Leader.

When asked about the game’s subtitle, a developer stated that the game was originally going to be titled "Bomberman Begins”, but due to the release of the film Batman Begins, they opted against using that title. The name “Act Zero” was then chosen, as, to them, it represented a new beginning, and a fresh start.

Attachment Defeating an enemy with a non-buster weapon in the Japanese version of the Mega Man Zero series would make robot characters spout out something resembling blood. It was removed in the US/European versions. Oddly enough, the rating for the Japanese version of the Mega Man Zero series were unaffected.
