In 2013, a Kingdom Hearts online mobile game was in development that never saw the light of day. It was to be called "Kingdom Hearts: Fragmented Keys". The game was rumored to feature customizable avatar characters (like Union Cross). It would also have been in 3D instead of Union cross' 2D art style. Most interesting and exciting of all though (gathered from concept art no less) was the Disney world list as the game would feature returning worlds like: Agrabah, Wonderland, a Lilo & Stitch Hawaii world, Space Paranoids/The Grid, London/Neverland, and Dwarf Woodlands. It also included worlds that didn't appear in the series yet but would appear in later games like Union Cross and Kingdom Hearts III, such as: Arendell (Frozen), Kingdom of Corona (Tangled), and Niceland/Game Central Station (Wreck-It Ralph). Finally, and most shockingly, a world based on the Star Wars franchise, although this world's chronology is unknown as concept art show different conflicting eras, such as an image of characters Anakin, Obi-wan, Padme, and Master Yoda in their exact looks from Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie and series in a separatist gunship's hanger as well as a planet that looks similar to Tatooine and an anachronistic Death Star power station room. It is unknown why this game was cancelled.

Since Sonic R was one of the first non-music video games to feature vocal tracks during gameplay, the music toggle was defaulted to instrumental during development due to fears of how players would respond to the soundtrack. Game designer and programmer Jon Burton ultimately decided to make the vocal versions of the songs the default as he grew to enjoy TJ Davis' vocal performance during the game's development.

The "Flower Garden" mode of Minesweeper was created to be more sensitive towards users in countries, such as Italy, where landmines are a common cause of death rather than seen as a war movie trope. It was originally only available to Italian players, but became a customization option in 2007's remake of Minesweeper, with Flower Garden being the only option for Italian players. in 2012's Microsoft Minesweeper, the Flower Garden mode would also be the only aesthetic option on Siberian and Chinese players.

On the map Dragon Valley 2015 which is included in the Legacy Operations expansion, at the Temple (the H flag in a Conquest Large game), a small Phantom Program skull can be found imprinted on a pillar. If you stay near this pillar for long enough, a lantern adjacent to it will start flickering a message in Morse code. Deciphering the code will reveal a message written in Belarusian, which translated to English reads:
JJJU is the signature of Julian Manolov, an engineer at DICE Los Angeles who is responsible for several cryptic and elaborate Easter eggs in Battlefield 4's expansions and maps. This message's placement in a lantern was another clue. If you're playing on an unranked server, two or three randomized lanterns at the base of the temple will be lit every time the round starts. To turn on and off these lanterns, there are seven well-hidden interactive buttons scattered around the map, but which button controls which lanterns also changes every time the round starts. This is a pattern-based logic puzzle (similar to Parker Brothers' Merlin game "Magic Square" or Tiger Electronics' "Lights Out") that requires time and coordination to ensure that you turn on the correct switches to light all the lanterns without leaving any of them off. The solution included in the source of this trivia most likely will not work, as every time the round restarts, a different solution will be generated. Once you finally light all the lanterns, go back to the original pillar, and head to the adjacent pillar facing towards a tree. Within the side of the pillar facing the tree branches, a transparent digital keypad can be found. Pushing any button on this keypad will cause the lantern to start flashing an even longer Morse code message that reads:
This message directs players to the nighttime variant of the Zavod 311 map introduced in the Night Operations expansion, called Zavod: Graveyard Shift, where there is an old factory in the woods to the north of the map. In this area, you should eventually find a large rock where if you crouch and wait, a low-pitched, slowed down audio message will play that when sped up reveals a recording from the animated webseries "Battlefield Friends" of main character Neebs singing "I Got Little Birdy Legs", which he does whenever he captures an objective. Continuing with the instructions, the longest word in "I Got Little Birdy Legs" is "Little" and the word right after it is "Birdy". Simply multiplying the number of letters in each word together (6 x 5) only gives 30 which is not the correct code. Instead, the solution is to multiply each letter as its numerical value in the alphabet, which will look like this:
Inputting the above code back at the keypad pillar in Dragon Valley 2015 will cause the same Morse code lantern to beep twice indicating you entered the correct code, and then starts flashing a third Morse code message at a faster speed than the previous two:
Following these instructions at the water tower in Dragon Valley 2015 will cause another small button to appear, which will spawn another keypad on the water tower pillar. Entering the final code will trigger another clip of Neebs from Battlefield Friends screaming that he got "PROMOTED!" After the round ends, go to the Equipment and Customization menu and check your character's Camouflage. At the very bottom of the available camos is a new skin, the DICE LA camo. This is a unique, standout camouflague that was previously only available to employees at DICE LA until this Easter egg was implemented.

The US version of Drill Dozer modifies some of the unlockable generic costumes to reference (or further emphasize existing references to) different Game Freak and Nintendo games:• A schoolgirl outfit was swapped for an outfit of Leaf from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
• A nurse outfit was given extra details to reference Click Medic.
• A futuristic outfit was replaced with a Pulseman outfit.
• Costumes already based on Mario and Mendel Palace being given extra details from their source material.
Despite references to Click Medic and Pulseman being added in the US version, those games had not received US releases at that point. These changes were reverted for the European version of the game.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl contains multiple unused announcer lines including:
• Several character names (including characters from Rocko's Modern Life and The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, which were not represented in the base game)
• Item announcement calls which did not end up being used (despite the narrator having used voice clips relating to the items)
• All of the stage names (notably including alternate names for the Slime Time stage in the form of "Double Dare", "Double Dare Stage", and "Double Dare Extreme")
• Perhaps most interestingly, lines relating to a shop feature where the player could buy outfits, characters, moves, and stages. The reveal press release for All-Star Brawl references the ability to "unlock advanced moves", which may be referring to this scrapped feature.

Upon its initial release, Pooplers was, despite its young target audience, given an M rating by the ESRB for "blood", likely because one of the selectable poop colors in the game is red. Despite this M rating being featured in the game's trailer, the game would eventually be re-evaluated to an E10+ rating for merely "mild blood".

In Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion, each character's "Color 4" has pitch black skin, red eyes, and various other red and white elements, used by certain characters as their brainwashed selves in the story mode. Father, who was introduced to the playable roster in the XL iteration of the game, is already pitch-black, so his Color 4 makes him pitch-white, whereas fellow XL character Aku retains the pitch-black skin in his original design, but with red lips and white facial hair.

Two of the franchises represented in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl have had installments aimed exclusively at adults. Both of these franchises have their mature iterations referenced within the game, with Ren & Stimpy's taunt originating from the Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon episode "Fire Dogs 2", and Leonardo and Michelangelo's alternate costumes originating from the original Mirage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics.
