Due to the Genesis' inferior hardware compared to the CPS1 arcade board, many of the destructible items in the background are now indestructible. Additionally many NPCs are missing, such as the white dog in the first level.

Attachment There's a short cutscene that plays after the player defeats Scully, the first boss of the game, where Punisher interrogates Scully to find out about Kingpin's location, and once he's done he disposes of Scully. In the Arcade version Punisher kills Scully, while in the Genesis version he just tosses him to the side.

Super Punch-Out!!
Super Punch-Out!! (1994)

In 2022, a pair of previously unknown cheat codes for the game were discovered, presumably having been used for debug purposes:

•From the title screen, by holding the R and Y buttons on a second controller, and then pressing Start or A on the first controller, a new menu will appear showing Little Mac versus head profiles of all 16 fighters in the game, allowing you to select whoever you want for a one-off match. After the match is finished, you are sent back to the same menu.

•Also on this menu, an unbalanced two player-mode can be accessed if the second player holds B or Y on their selected opponent until the match starts. As the opponent, using A, B, X, or Y in tandem with Up and Down will allow you to pull off every basic and advanced attack in each boss's arsenal. This mode is unbalanced in that every boss is still more powerful than Little Mac and have pauses with "tells" for when they are about to attack, and if dodged successfully will leave them vulnerable to attacks.

Gex

Attachment Exclusive to the 3DO version, in the level "The Project", there is a secret exit in the bottom-left corner of the map with a Question Mark caption just before it reading:

"This door will take Gex so far away that he can't come back! Make sure you've saved your game recently!"

Entering this secret exit will boot up a 3D side-scrolling shoot-'em-up level. The game gives you 5 credits and 3 hit points to play through the game. You can pick up remote controls, and after getting enough of them your ship will now have triple shots. For every enemy shot at, the score will change to different quips and numbers at random, including:

•"69 Dude!"
•666 (the Number of the beast)
•90210 (the zip code to Beverly Hills, California and a reference to the 1990 television series "Beverly Hills, 90210")
•"Googleplex" [sic] (Googolplex, the company Google did not exist at the time this demo was made or when Gex was first released)
•"Really high!"
•"Way up there"
•"Astronomical"
•Infinity
•"Score is cool, huh, huh"
•"Are you still counting?"
•"I don't know"
•"I lost count"
•"Who cares!"
•"Who keeps score!"
•"Missed one!"
•"Watch your butt not the score!"
•"Is your controller plugged in"
•"Loser!"
•"You suck!"
•"Sucks to be you!"
•"How bad are you?!"

It was originally a senior college project for Stanford University by programmer Evan Wells, but was repurposed as an Easter egg for this game. On the Game Over screen, the game's credits can be seen:

"Thank you for playing!

Programming: Evan Lindsay Wells
Gregg Tavares
Design: Evan Lindsay Wells
Art: Steve Webb
Music: Steve Henefin"

This Easter egg was first known to have been documented in a pair of grainy YouTube videos from 2007. It's unknown why this minigame was not included in other versions of the game.

"I dedicate this game to my loving wife, Michele, and our wonderful son, Sean. I love them both very much!

This message went undiscovered until 2022.

Attachment During the third Speed Training level, a metal door on top of a building can be shot at to open it, revealing a hidden group photo of several Neversoft developers behind it. However, it appears that there are at least two different developer photos that can be found behind this door. It's unknown if the appearance of each photo differs by the version of the game being played, or if one is randomly selected when the level is loaded up. This building is located diagonally across from a building with a billboard for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on it, which was also developed by Neversoft and released the same year as this game. This Easter egg went undiscovered until 2021.

Attachment On the Beach in the northern part of the Western Continent, in a hole in the ruined structures in the area, angling the camera correctly will reveal an out-of-bounds picture of an Asian woman. This person was world builder Fred Selker's girlfriend at the time of the game's development, and its placement at the northern-most/highest area on the world map could be a gesture of affection towards her.
