Attachment The Rookie's likeness was originally modeled after level designer Eric Schatz, but his likeness was reportedly removed because the animators felt his in-game model looked too similar to Gordon Freeman from the Half-Life series.

The original model was only intended to be temporary, as the developers originally planned for the game to include a character creator to let the player determine the appearance of the Rookie. This feature was dropped when they determined that they had to pre-render the game's cinematics.

The faces of the Ghostbusters were not 3D scans of the actors' heads. They were rendered with graphics software using references from still shots from the movie.

"I sculpted the likenesses by hand in Maya using photo reference that I collected from dvds and off of the internet." -Ian McIntosh, Senior Character Artist

Attachment Jason Hawes and Adam Berry from the TV Series Ghost Hunters were originally going to be in the video game, but were removed before the game was released.

"The two guys in the elevator after the Stay Puft street stage are two Sony executives. They were originally supposed to be the two guys from Ghost Hunters. We made the heads and everything, but couldn't work out all the legal stuff in time, so we defaulted to the Sony execs that wanted to be in the game." - Jesse Sosa

The first stage of the Genesis version includes a number of continuity and historical errors. If the player does not catch up with Clara in time, she will say something and fall into the Ravine. Her grave stone will read that she died September 5, 1855. The date in the movie, however, was September 4, 1885. Two of the quotes that Clara says when she falls into the ravine ("I wish I was Mary Poppins." and "Geronimo!") are references to things that came out after the time the game takes place (the first Mary Poppins book came out in 1934 and the Geronimo yell was started in the 1940's).

While all versions share the same name, every one is it's own game with it's own unique mechanics. All four also had their own unique developers. The Super Nintendo version is a 2-D side scrolling action game with two lanes, akin to the two lane system in the early Fatal Fury series. The Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version is a 2-D side-scrolling beat-'em up. The Game Boy Version is a side scrolling action game, and is most similar to the SNES version, but with a single lane. The Game Gear Version is a competitive fighting game.

Attachment Juniper Woods' stage outfit for when she was going to sing the Guitar's Serenade during the Gavinner's return concert is almost exactly the same as Lamiroir's, who originally sang the same song in Ace Attoreny: Apollo Justice. Weirdly enough, neither Apollo, Trucy nor Klavier make any mentions of the fact despite having met Lamiroir.

The artbook "The Art of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies" by Udon Entertainment expands upon this. In-universe, the similarities are purely coincidental, as Juniper just so happened to design the exact same costume that Lamiroir wore during the previous game. Out-of-universe, however, it was done to tie into the sub-plot about Juniper's crush on Apollo Justice, as it allowed for a cutscene where she gains "brownie points" with Justice, who is a fan of Lamiroir's music.

Attachment There are three unused perk/reputation statuses in the game.
"Virgin of the Wastes" is a status that has no actual effect on the gameplay. It can naturally be removed after sleeping with any sex-specific characters. The description for it reads "You really need to get out more. Your sexual exploits have been... well, two dimensional." "Alcohol Addiction" is a status that was to be used for when the player ends up building an addiction to alcohol-related items in the game. It has no coding associated with it, just the art and description. "You have a problem with alcohol. Actually, you have many problems with your drinking habits." "Tragic Addition" is another addiction status that would have occurred after using a pack of Tragic Cards, which is a reference to Magic the Gathering. The effect would stop map travel periodically to say "You feel a burning desire to open another box of Tragic cards."

In the Japanese version of the game after Mega Man beats Dr. Wily and Spoiler:Wily says that robots cannot harm humans, Mega Man answers with "....." (which suggests that Mega Man is programmed with Asimov's Rules of Robotics). In the American version of the game, Mega Man says "I am more than a robot!! Die Wily!!" implying that Mega Man fully intended to kill Dr. Wily and break the Laws.
