Hideo Kojima originally wanted the Beauty and the Beast Corps to be completely naked in the cut scenes. The motion capture actors were even asked to preform the motion capture nude, though this could also not be used in the game. The Beauty and the Beast Corps were, instead, given cat-suits, which could still show off their bodies without affecting the rating.

Attachment Cacodemon's general visual design is similar to that of the Beholder, a similarly one-eyed classic Dungeons & Dragons monster (with eye stalks instead of horns). In addition, the Cacodemon was created from a cropping of a creature that appears on the cover of Manual of the Planes, a Dungeons & Dragons expansion book. The creature itself is known as an Astral Dreadnought, and was created by Jeff Easley for that book.

Keiji Inafune, who is often called the father of Mega Man, did not actually create him. Inafune's mentor at Capcom, who was the designer of the original Mega Man, gave Inafune a basic concept of what Mega Man was supposed to look like and he was tasked to clean up the concept for use in the game. Inafune didn't get to completely design a Mega Man protagonist from scratch until Mega Man X, where he created Zero.

There are also several unused lines, fully voiced by the game's English cast. Notably, some of these lines hint at scenes removed from the game's Last Story, 2 of which featured the President and his secretary, the latter (as well as Amy) telling the President not to give up hope and a scene that would take place shortly after Finalhazard's defeat, where the President says that, as a child, he admired heroes like Sonic and aspired to be as heroic and beloved as him, with the Secretary offering encouragement.

Another set of lines that would have appeared during the ending credits feature Eggman declaring he'll conquer the world without anyone's help, as well as him and Tails agreeing not to hold back next time they meet.

In an early trailer for the game, there is a scene showing Riku on top of Big Ben in Neverland. This scene does not appear in the final game, nor does Riku ever go to Big Ben in any way. Despite this, it is considered canon as a cutscene in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded shows that this is where Riku and Kairi went after leaving Captain Hook's ship.

Attachment Sofia, Ezio's love interest in the game, was based on the Albrecht Dürer painting "Portrait of a Young Venetian Woman," which Art Director Raphael Lacoste was very adamant about using as the basis of the character. The painting can be seen in the Memory "Portrait of a Lady," where you have to retrieve it.

The game started out as a port of the arcade game Wonder Boy. Although Escape had the rights to the game, Sega owned the rights to the main characters, bosses, and names, which meant that the NES version could not be a direct port. To get around the licensing issue, Hudson Soft changed the character sprites and names to create a brand new series.

Attachment ID software originally held a contest where, if a player completed the insane secret maze in Episode 2, Floor 8, they would find a sprite that said "Call Apogee say 'AARDWOLF.'" The contest was cancelled because map editors were made for the game that allowed players to navigate through the maze much easier, trivializing the contest. In later versions, a certain part of the maze was blocked off and/or replaced the sign with a pile of bones.

If the player goes to a store called "Let's Pretend" and shoots a certain door, it will open, revealing a secret passage downstairs. The room contains the developer's heads, and if they are all shot, a gun called "Tiny Pistol" will appear. If fired, the gun will push you backwards. This is a reference to the gun "Noisy Cricket" from Men in Black, which when fired will also push you back.

Attachment The developers of the game were given six weeks to finish porting the game to the Game Boy Color. Since Mike Mika and his friends finished with a few weeks to spare, they started putting Easter eggs in the game. One of these was a wedding proposal to Mike's then-girlfriend, Micki, who did not see it until Tips And Tricks Magazine told her to enter the code.

When questioned about the easiness of getting all 1000 Gamerscore for the game, Jon Cartwright, Director of Production at THQ, stated that it was because children were the targeted demographic for the game. They wanted to introduce kids to getting Achievements.

"If someone's been playing fighting games for years then the Achievements in "Avatar" are not going to challenge them too much. But again, we're not targeting that gamer. We tried to focus on the thrill a young kid would get when he/she receives his/her first Achievement. We feel having some easier Achievements make the whole Achievement system more accessible to a younger audience."

Attachment After Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Insomniac was planning to announce another Ratchet & Clank game called Ratchet & Clank: Nexus. The idea was scrapped and instead Insomniac released Ratchet: Deadlocked (Ratchet: Gladiator in Europe) which used some features from Ratchet & Clank: Nexus. The name Ratchet & Clank: Nexus may have also inspired the name for Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus.
