Interplay wanted to replace all the music in the Genesis and SNES versions with new original tracks. Eric Chahi, the game's designer, requested to at least keep the original intro music to help retain the atmosphere but Interplay wouldn't agree. To express his frustration, Chahi sent them an endless fax with the message "keep the original intro music" in big letters with the ends of the paper taped together to form a loop. Interplay did reconsider however when Delphine posed legal action.

Attachment The painting in the meeting room of the First World Bank depicts Team 7200, the first team to get inside the secret "Overvault". The painting of them was added through a patch. There is a 30% chance the painting will have changed, in addition to there being some creepy music heard from a nearby CD player and lit candles being on the table. The patch also added two plaques in the vault that have the names of the people who helped find the secret.

Normally, pulling out the controller during game-play will pause the game and display a message reading "The controller in controller port (number) has been removed."

However, doing this during the song "Disconnected", or its remixes, changes the text to read "The controller in controller port (number) has been disconnected." to fit the song's title.

The console version of Tekken Tag Tournament is very different from the arcade version.

The arcade version was simply an upgrade kit for Tekken 3 and ran on the same 32 bit engine, utilizing the same graphics. However, when ported to the PlayStation 2, it received a huge upgrade to the graphics along with upgraded music tracks, additional stages and music to go with them.

The 2 versions play similarly, although there are some noticeable differences in gameplay, such as some attacks being more efficient in the arcade version and vice versa.
