Contrary to popular belief, and unlike the other fairy tale mockbusters released on game consoles by Phoenix Games, the animated cartoons included in Peter Pan, Adventures of Pinocchio, Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys, Cinderella, and Hansel & Gretel were not made by Dingo Pictures, but rather Longsoft Multimedia.
The Pokémon Mini is the only Nintendo handheld to have a rumble motor stored inside the console itself, instead of through an accessory, removable controller, or unique game cartridge.
One exploit to gain more coins is to use Luigi’s hammer to change Mario into Mini Mario, then make Luigi attempt to perform a High Jump. If you have Mario jump up when Luigi is above Mario, he will strike Luigi from below and it will cause Luigi to produce a coin as if he was a block. New coins can be acquired based on how much HP Luigi has and will stop once he’s at 1 HP.
Following the completion of the anime series "Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School" and the video game Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Danganronpa series writer Kazutaka Kodaka started thinking about how he wanted to create his own development company where he can do new things. He discussed the idea with composer Masafumi Takada and character designer Rui Komatsuzaki, who were also interested in the idea: Takada would be the one to found Too Kyo Games, due to having been involved in the launch of other companies.
Kodaka also invited other people to join the company, including Kotaro Uchikoshi (director and scenario writer of the Zero Escape series), Shimadoriru (Danganronpa illustrator), Takumi Nakazawa (director and co-writer of the Infinity series), and Yoichirou Koizumi (Danganronpa novelist). Kodaka, Takada, Komatsuzaki and Uchikoshi each serve as the core members of the company, with Kodaka serving as both its representative and CEO.
Additionally, the company's name is a wordplay on "Tokyo", where the company is based, and "kyo", the Japanese word for crazy: hence, the company's name literally means "Too Crazy Games".
Kazutaka Kodaka began planning Master Detective Archives: Rain Code in 2016, while he was still working at Spike Chunsoft. It was designed to be different from the Danganronpa series, with a dark fantasy setting influenced by the works of Tim Burton. It also uses full 3D models throughout the game, as opposed to Danganronpa's blend of 3D environments and 2D characters: it does, however, still feature a similar psycho-pop aesthetic with neon colors.
At the end of each cup, the Award Ceremony for the top three racers in the cup is held outside Peach's Castle as it is seen in Super Mario 64. This is not a unique, inaccessible area, but can actually be found in Royal Raceway, popularly featuring an open pathway allowing you to drive around the starting area of Super Mario 64. However, this area is also not a shortcut and you must return to the racetrack if you want to continue the race. Alternatively, you can fall in the castle's moat, causing Lakitu to pull you out and return you to the racetrack.
During any cutscene where Bayonetta has a lollipop, if you hold down a specific button before the candy head of the lollipop first appears, you will gain the effect of a specific lollipop item available in the game's stores, and this is reflected in the cutscene by changing which lollipop flavor is shown:
• A for Green Herb lollipop (recover health) • B for Bloody Rose lollipop (temporary damage boost) • X for Purple Butterfly lollipop (recover magic) • Y for Yellow Moon lollipop (gain armor)
It is pertinent that you press and hold the desired button before the candy part of the lollipop is actually seen in the cutscene to ensure the trick works. For example, in Chapter IV: The Cardinal Virtue of Fortitude, when Bayonetta walks into the colosseum, you can see that she is holding a lollipop, but you can only see the stick at first, meaning there's still time to perform the trick. If performed correctly, the lollipop head will be revealed as the one you have chosen. You can also skip the cutscene while still holding the button in order to keep the effect. Unlike normally using a lollipop item, performing this trick does not remove points from your score in a chapter.
Going off of the colors of each lollipop that are used for each face button, they match up with the Xbox 360 controller's color scheme, possibly being a remnant of Platinum Games primarily developing Bayonetta for the Xbox 360. This feature would not be carried over into subsequent Bayonetta games.
Hajime Makunouchi was once a scrapped design left in LINUJ's notebook prior to the time he discovered Danganronpa. His initial design has little resemblance to his final design: he wore a t-shirt with the word "Victory" on it, a tooth-like necklace, a pair of shorts, and a champions belt presumably meant to keep them up. He did, however, retain the same hairstyle and sunglasses within his final design. He was eventually redesigned as LINUJ began to consider the idea of making a sequel to Danganronpa Another: apart from the design of the champions belt and the removal of scars, nothing else was different between the prototype and final designs.
Additionally, while LINUJ regards Hajime's childhood as a common cliche, he also really liked his character and childhood. He also noted that while Hajime's sunglasses are meant for optical nerve damage, he also just liked to draw sunglasses, suggesting that they originally served no purpose in the initial design.
Dingo Pictures is a German animation company founded in 1992 by Ludwig Ickert and Roswitha Haas. The company primarily made traditionally-animated films based on fairy tales and other similar concepts used by the likes of Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks. However, their films are notorious for their low-budget animation, small voice casts, and character designs visibly similar to equivalent characters in more high-profile films. The films in question have been dubbed into Scandinavian languages (i.e. Swedish), as well as Romance languages (i.e. Italian), as well as being released direct-to-video in their original German language.
European game publishers Phoenix Games and Midas Games released some of Dingo Pictures' films from the early 2000s onto the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. Developed by The Code Monkeys, these releases included the original film, and a selection of minigames. Phoenix Games would later declare bankruptcy on August 3, 2010, though this would later be suspended due to lack of income.
The box art of the game depicts Snow White, the Dwarves, and the Evil Queen as looking like poorly modelled versions of their Disney counterparts. However, their in-game designs are all completely different.
During his victory animation, Double D will toss his sock hat in the air, revealing his hair, seemingly answering a popular mystery from the Ed, Edd, n' Eddy cartoon. However, this should not be considered canon to the show, as Double D's head was intentionally never officially revealed on the show. The game was possibly made by a separate group in Cartoon Network’s American division, while the show was produced by a.k.a. Cartoon in Canada.
In Carnival Night Zone, there is an infamous obstacle known as the "barrel" - a red and white tube that moves up and down depending on what direction is pressed on the control stick, but is animated in a way that makes it appear as if you have to bounce on it to gain momentum - this obstacle has caused a lot of grief to Sonic fans playing the game over the years, and as a result Sonic 3 game designer Takashi Iizuka and lead programmer Yuji Naka officially apologized for the barrel at the Summer of Sonic 2011.
Huggy Wuggy's "Killy Willy" skin is a reference to the character of the same name from the YouTube series "Poppy Playtime Logic" by YouTube channel GameToons.
Sally.Exe was intended to be an unofficial adaptation of the creepypasta of the same name, similar to how MY5TCrimson's previous game Sonic.exe was based on the titular creepypasta. However, since the game's release, he found out that the "Sally.exe" creepypasta was a rip-off of a YouTube video that predated the creepypasta, and feeling that this made the game a rip-off by extension, he decided to no longer support the title and disassociate himself from it. Despite this, he left the option to download the game available.
Additionally, MY5TCrimson has acknowledged that the game was never meant to be a serious project, and while he was glad by its success, he felt it was time to "put my effort into more ambitious games that aren't just cheap jump-scare material" (i.e. his upcoming game Shrouded).

In early 2022, two police departments, one in Dorset, England and the other in Lafayette County in Wisconsin, each released a statement regarding the character Huggy Wuggy. They claimed that due to the character's name, various videos were not being blocked by firewalls or filtered by parental filters on sites like TikTok and YouTube Kids. The former also claimed that there were reports of children in the United Kingdom recreating a game where one child hugs another and whispers sinister things into their ear. They also claimed a child had attempted to jump out a window in an effort to mimic the character, and that the Luxemberg-Casco School District in Wisconsin had been receiving complaints about children not being able to sleep due to the character.
Similarly, a primary school in Adelaide, Australia warned parents about adaptations of the game and violent songs involving the character. However, the fact-checking site Snopes found that while there had been reports from parents within the United Kingdom, the police had incorrectly claimed that Huggy Wuggy sang songs, as these songs were fanmade and did not appear in the game. They also revealed that inappropriate videos involving the character were not available to younger viewers of TikTok or YouTube Kids, as confirmed by spokespersons from both. Mob Entertainment CEO Zach Belanger would also comment on the situation, claiming the warnings were "completely untrue and/or grossly exaggerated".
The Wild Villains, an original group of villains created for the game, are all based on characters from writer Kohei Horikoshi's previous manga, Oumagadoki Zoo:
• Curator is based on Isana, the main antagonist of the "Vs. Aquarium" arc. • Zookeeper is based on Hana Aoi, the main deuteragonist of the series, with elements from Shiina, the main protagonist. • Bearhead is based on Shikuma, the main antagonist of the "Vs. Circus" arc.
Chip's Challenge 2 was finished in 1990, two years after the completion of Chip's Challenge and a year after the latter game's release, but due to the IP being sold, it had to wait 25 years to see an official release in 2015, following five years of negotiation over the series' rights.

Despite appearing on the box art, Ed is an NPC in the game and not a playable character. The title screen rectifies this by removing Ed.
