Attachment A Battletoads game for the Game Boy Advance was in development, but eventually canceled. A prototype version was created in a few weeks with placeholder character animations, enemy AI and sound effects. The game's design plans were to either make a remake of the original NES game or whatever the developers thought was best. A potential Xbox version was also in consideration.

Attachment The gameplay was originally viewable in both 2D and isometric 3D layouts (whilst being developed as Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers), however there were consistency issues when switching between the layouts. It was also hard for players to see the board whilst in 3D and wasn't to the expectations of the developers.

The "Crayon Snake" in marathon mode was originally intended to be called the "Trouser Snake", however the game's publisher, THQ, had requested for the name to be changed. This was possibly due to the sexual innuendo associated with the term.

Some names can't be used in the "Rename player" function; the game simply responds with "Not cool enough" if you try to enter one. Most are swears, slang terms (some rather dirty), or occult-related items Nintendo would rather not be associated with; some of these words are only considered "dirty" in Europe.

Attachment According to a commentary by Kojima, the boss battle with The Boss originally had her wearing shooting goggles to hide her tears. In addition, she was also originally to have worn a blue sneaking suit, similar to that of Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid, so as to make her more visible. These concepts were both cut in the end.

Attachment The character 'The Baz' is based on a scrapped Street Fighter II fighter, and was further developed by a series of events involving Matt and Woolie from the popular YouTube show Two best Friends Play.

"Jefailey and The Baz are in the game based on Keits honoring kickstarter pledges from Matt and myself for The Baz, and Alex Jebailey's pledge for Jefailey. The character that you see here, is the result of my concept submitted to Keits, from his lines, his palette, to the backstory, and his moves, and the entire concept of him being "The Storm" and having electricity based powers and such, etc; which Keits then finalized mechanically for balance. I decided to request him based on the running character gag we had with Fighterpedia.

Fun Fact, the character from the old artbook wasn't even named Zubaz - the katakana next to him said 'Bullfighter'. Zubaz is just the clothing line they used because that design was based on the Legion of Doom from the WWE, and they often wore Zubaz clothing. We just started calling him Zubaz during Fighterpedia and the name stuck with the fans." - Woolie Madden
