There was a Dreamcast port in development at the same time as the PlayStation 2 version. The port was being developed by Gearbox Software and was going have the Blue Shift expansion included. Though is was almost finished and was pretty much ready to ship, the port was cancelled "due to changing market conditions."

The Super Nintendo, and Game Gear ports of Disney's Aladdin are drastically different to ports on other consoles. SEGA had rights to publish Disney related video games and had a collaboration with Disney's animation studios. SEGA tasked Virgin to program the game. This version ended up on most systems (including the NES and Game Boy). The Game Gear port was programmed by SIMS instead of Virgin Interactive, so gameplay and level design is slightly different. The Super Nintendo version (and by extension the GBA port) was developed by Capcom. Capcom still had rights to develop Disney related games on Nintendo consoles, so they made their own game with different gameplay and levels.

Attachment In one of the sewer sections of Wall Street, there is a small gap in the NES version where a short jump must be performed in order to cross over and avoid the sewer water. In the DOS version, this same gap is now larger, and the ceiling is lower, making the game impossible. There is no way to cross over, none whatsoever. The only way to pass over is to use a password to skip the entire level.

Attachment At the main menu screen, the mounted head of Banjo and the Kazooie umbrella weren't just references to the characters from the Banjo-Kazooie series, but statements made by the developers about their rivalry between the development teams at Rare. The developers would see each other's work and become jealous over the progress that they'd seen.

The song that is played for the Lt Col Kilgore Golden LP is Flight of the Valkyries, which was also played during a battle scene in Apocalypse Now.

Attachment The weapon Shuraba was intended to have an animation where the sword's pulsing heart would show on the hilt of the sword when the weapon was fully charged. During development, the developers forgot to put the animation on the weapon, so the animation does not appear in the game, but the code still exists.
