Named after the Tetris game series, The Tetris Effect (or Tetris Syndrome) occurs when a person's thoughs, mental images and dreams are impacted by the prolonged devotion to an activity. One such example being playing Tetris for a long time, then subconciously thinking about how shapes in the real world could fit together or seeing the "tetrominos" at the edge of one's field of vision when falling asleep.

In an interview with Yomiuri Online, Pokemon designer Atsuko Nishida revealed that the reason why Pikachu was made a rare encounter in Viridian Forest was because of her own personal favoritism towards the character and what she described as a feeling of "not wanting to let other people have Pikachu."

The sticker on the back of the console which states "Warranty void if removed." is actually illegal. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the sticker violates the 1975 Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act which states that any manufacturer that charges more than $5 for their product cannot put repair restrictions on a device that it offers a warranty for. On April 9th, 2018, the FTC sent a letter to Sony, as well as Nintendo, Microsoft and Apple, who place similar stickers on their consoles and devices, giving them a 30 day warning to change their official warranty policies or face legal action.

According to an interview published by the South China Morning Post, Yoshihisa "Kowloon" Kurosawa stated that the game came to be because he wanted to make the worst game possible as a mockery to the game industry at the time, being completely dominated by Nintendo and Sega. Since Kurosawa wasn't proficient in his programming skills, he had an anonymous Enix employee help him out, with the game being made in two days.

After completion, Kurosawa made some merchandise through articles written under pseudonyms for underground gaming magazines, and set up a mail-order service to sell the game.

When asked in an interview with NintendoLife why they changed the format to include the car in this game, as well as in its predecessor, Shuichiro Nishiya explained that it was done to keep the players engaged:

"In past installments, everyone would move separately through the board. As a result, the actions of the other players often didn't affect you. You could just look at the TV screen when it was your turn and during the minigames. In Mario Party 10 though, players move together in a car, so each player's action will affect the others meaning you'll need to keep an eye on the TV screen. This way, everyone's constantly involved, and we keep the flow of the game at a good pace."

The idea for the game came from the fact that lead designer and director Tsubasa Sakaguchi wanted to make an interface that is interactive and something that is easy to grasp on. He initially planned for one player to use both Joy-Con controllers. However, the idea was later shot down because he thought it was too similar to using Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Sakaguchi almost considered having two players use one set of the controllers, but later scrapped it because it was too similar to the Famicom.

If the player attempts to enter the Safari Zone without sufficient money to enter enough times, the worker who lets you in will take pity and allow you to enter with one Safari Ball. This was not an interaction in Pokemon Red & Blue and exists as a way to prevent the player from progressing in the game as a result of being unable to acquire enough money to get HM03 Surf, which is found in the park.

Within the game's data is an unused conversation between Seymour Skinner and Agnes Skinner. It is about an answering machine message. This is the transcript:
Seymour: "You have reached the Skinner residence. Please leave a concise message at--"
Agnes: "Seymour! What are you doing?"
Seymour: "Recording an outgoing answering machine message."
Agnes: "Without my permission? You're grounded!"
A modified version of Agnes' last line here can be heard in Level 7's ghost playgrounds, but it is hard to hear.
