After the game's ending plays, there are several things that will happen if the game is left running, and it's possible to trigger a hidden message from a programmer named Hidemushi. First, the ending photo will change to black and white after waiting 18 minutes, and then sepia after another 18 minutes. After 55 more minutes, the music will then stop, and pressing A + B + Start + Select + Left on Controller 1 and A + B + Right on Controller 2 will cause some new music to play. Pressing B + Select + Right on Controller 1 and B + Right + Down on Controller 2 will start Hidemushi's message, calling out everyone that he had to put up with while developing the game and thanking those who did help him. Once Hidemushi's message stops, press A + B + Up on Controller 1 for his last message, a dedication to his wife. After waiting 18 more minutes, the game goes back to the title screen.

Two exclusive songs play during this hidden message. The first track is a remix from The Karate Kid NES game, while the other track is completely new and starts playing when the message 「そういえば　せわになった ひともいたな・・・・・」 appears, translated in English to "Come to think of it, some people were helpful to me, too." Both games were composed by Hirohiko Takayama. Both songs, unlike the rest of the game, use the Famicom's basic onboard audio system rather than the Namco 163 audio expansion chip which supports up to 8 additional channels.

Attachment Mentats, which temporarily increase a player's PE (Perception), IN (Intelligence) and CH (Charisma), are a direct reference to the novel series Dune, written by Frank Herbert.

In the novel, Mentats are super-intelligent human beings that undergo special training that gives them the cognitive and analytical abilities of electronic computers, replacing sentient machines altogether.

During the 'Pudding's Secret Plans' drama track on the CD 'Space Channel 5 Part 2 Soundtrack Vol. Chu!!', Pudding says to her bodyguards, "Doesn't it look like I'm playing?". This may indicate that Pudding isn't actually playing her instrument during her guitar duel with Ulala in Space Channel 5: Part 2, and casts doubt on her ability to play at all.

The Ancient Tongue which the Laguz characters speak is actually just a heavily stylized English font. The pieces of Ancient Tongue that appear on the game's menus can be translated, and when placed in order, form a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, specifically a love poem that Hamlet sends to Ophelia: "Doubt that the Stars are fire / Doubt that the Sun does not move / Doubt truth to be a liar, / But never doubt I love." The quote has no relevance to the game's plot, but is a neat reference to a famous line.

Attachment A cancelled game, called "Crash Landed", was in development by Radical Entertainment. It appears it would have been a reboot of the series. The plot was based around Crash trying to save primitive bandicoots (or 'bandicutes' as they were called in the concept art) from Neo Cortex. Dingodile would have served as a secondary antagonist.

The game was cancelled in 2010 after two years of development. After Activision acquired the rights to publish the franchise, they decided to lay off the entire Radical Entertainment studio behind Crash Landed. Activision's decision to not pass the project to a different studio suddenly halted its progress forever.

The name Crash Landed would later be given to the name of a level in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time a decade later, of which according to Toys for Bob's Felix Artifex was intentionally named after the cancelled game.

Attachment Mavado's design originally resembled a matador, as part of an overall Spanish theme -- his name was "Malvado", meaning "evil man" in Spanish and Portuguese. This was changed because the developers felt that his appearance didn't fit in with the Mortal Kombat universe, and they redesigned him to give him a darker persona.

The character Nina Cortex was created by Traveller's Tales Oxford Studios for Crash Nitro Kart. However, Vicarious Visions was assigned to develop the game instead, so TT-Oxford planned to debut Nina in Twinsanity. However, when screenshots of Crash Fusion (developed by Vicarious Visions) revealed that Nina would appear in that game, TT-Oxford was shocked, as they had not been asked or even notified that their work would be used in another game, which would release even before their own.

During a single player game, the player will be accompanied by a fairy parodying those found in The Legend of Zelda series. The fairy will often start sentences with "Hey Listen," and will give useless advice such as "Maybe you can cast spells on enemies".

Also like the fairies in The Legend of Zelda, the fairy will revive the player once if they die, and then leave.
