In the PC version of the game, after obtaining 100% completion, it's possible to open a portal on the side of Space Mountain where a cave can be seen. To open the portal, the player must type in the code "sdreams". Inside the portal are LEGO Minifigure versions of most of the development team that worked on the game at Silicon Dreams.

There are several unused voice clips that suggest that there were going to be more characters in Dragon Universe than there actually are. Notably, Kid Goku's Dragon Universe seemed to have involved him finding a time machine that takes him to the current Dragon Ball Z era, fighting Yamcha, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Piccolo (who he thinks is still King Piccolo), maybe Vegeta, Teen Gohan (who thinks he stole the name from his grandfather) and Broly.

Attachment In a Reddit AMA, Borderlands 2 Lead Writer Anthony Burch said his inspiration for creating the NPC Face McShooty, the character that demands you shoot him in the face, was the "Close Range" video on The Onion, featuring a fictional video game in which the only gameplay is shooting people in their faces.

"That was mine. I saw this video...and thought it was hilarious, and thought we could play off the idea with Face McShooty." -Anthony Burch

Originally, the Ollars store had 30 extra levels to buy, but they were later cut from the game. Rather than removing the menu to buy them, 5th Cell simply made the buttons to go to it invisible. Trying to access this menu freezes the game.

This feature was mentioned in the manual, suggesting it was cut late in development.
