Series director Shinya Kumazaki maintains an art gallery on his personal website where he showcases paintings that he makes in his spare time. Several of these pieces depict dystopian surrealist versions of characters from the Kirby franchise, including Miracle Matter, Queen Sectonia, Taranza, and Drawcia.

Attachment The September 2000 issue of Nintendo Power contains a "Nintendo Power Online" section on page 12, featuring an article titled "Mamma Mia! It's Waluigi!" The accompanying text introduces Waluigi to readers, reveals that he has his own website: www.waluigi.com, and claims to have an upcoming online game called "Waluigi's Toenail Clipping Party".

At the time of the Nintendo Power issue's release, www.waluigi.com was identical to the official website for Mario Tennis, www.mariotennis.com. One of the files hosted on the Mario Tennis website was the Adobe Flash file "toenails_coming.swf", which is an advertisement for the game instead titled "Waluigi's Foot Fault" depicting him showing his bare feet and unkempt toenails (he also occasionally blinks). Another file hosted on the website was "toenails.swf", which was supposedly the game itself. Catalogued alongside this file are two additional .swf files named "paint_the_lines" and "deface_painting", which could be evidence of other Flash games hosted on the Mario Tennis website.

However, the waluigi.com domain has since been turned into a redirect to the official Nintendo website. The toenails.swf file was not preserved, and as of 2023 has not resurfaced.

In 2023, a webpage on Nintendo of Japan's website was created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Family Computer. One of the subpages is a list of nearly every game published by Nintendo for the system, including those released exclusively for the Disk System peripheral. The only other known official list of Nintendo-published Famicom games available is the Chronicle in the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

However, the Famicom 40th Anniversary subpage omits several games that were included in Brawl's Chronicle. These include:
• Popeye, as well as its spin-off titled Popeye no Eigo Asobi, likely due to licensing issues with King Features.
• Spartan X (released as Kung Fu outside of Japan), likely due to the game being a license, as it is based on the movie Wheels on Meals.
• Miho Nakayama's Tokimeki High School, likely due to the game heavily featuring real-life Japanese idol, Miho Nakayama.
• Ginga no Sannin, a port of the home computer game The Earth Fighter Rayieza by Enix. It is not known why this game was excluded from the list.
• All re-releases of standard Famicom games for the Disk System (such as Super Mario Bros., Tennis, and Mahjong). The Famicom cartridge re-release of The Legend of Zelda is also omitted.

In addition to these omissions, while the Chronicle lists Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, the Famicom 40th Anniversary subpage instead lists the original Gold Version released exclusively in Japan, which did not include Mike Tyson.

Brawl's Chronicle list was chosen as a comparison to the Famicom 40th Anniversary subpage in question as it is the only other known official list of Nintendo-published Famicom games, thus we can compare the lists to see what games are missing between them.

When completing Arcade Mode as Bridget, one possible ending depicts her coming out as a transgender girl, having previously been depicted in earlier games as a cisgender boy who was raised as a girl. This plot development attracted rumors that it was a "bad ending" exclusive to the English localization and that Bridget was still a crossdressing boy in the Japanese release. Eventually, director Akira Katano and developer Daisuke Ishiwatari confirmed on their "Developer's Backyard" blog that Bridget was indeed intended to be a trans girl in the Japanese version and that the game's endings were not written under the pretense of them being "good" or "bad," stating that they simply showcase different, coexisting aspects of each character, indicating that Bridget's trans identity is in place across both of her Arcade Mode endings.

Attachment In Jade's bedroom, a nearby radio presents announcements including one that promotes a Hillyan News website. To help promote the game around its release in 2003, Ubisoft launched an official Hillyan News website full of short articles and blurbs pertaining to the planet of Hillys and the in-game universe, presumably published weekly between October 2 and December 1, 2003. The website is no longer hosted by Ubisoft, but can be found on the Internet Archive.

One of the girls who appeared topless in The Guy Game was 17 years old at the time of filming, making it illegal to sell in territories where the age of consent is 18. This was not known by Topheavy Studios or representatives scouting for girls during the 2003 spring break season in Texas, as she provided a fake ID card and signed a consent form before participating. Her real age did not come to light until four months after the game's release, when her brother purchased the game and told her she was in it, leading her to sue Topheavy Studios, Gathering of Developers (a subsidiary of Take Two Interactive which included Topheavy), Microsoft and Sony (whose consoles the game was released for).

She argued she was not informed that footage of her would be used in-game and on its promotional website, that she was not able to give consent at the time and that the developers misappropriated her likeness by failing to discover her age inaccuracies and releasing the game. Legal counsel for Topheavy argued that she entered and participated in the game willingly and that the fraudulent representations of her age made to the producers made it reasonable for them to have treated her as an adult. A Texas county judge granted a temporary injunction against manufacturing copies of the game until her voice, name and image were removed entirely, but the legal proceedings did not determine if Topheavy had produced child pornography in violation of Texas obscenity laws. The following year, Topheavy released a DVD version of the game with additional content not featured in the original game titled "The Guy Game: Game Over". They appeared to take the controversy in stride, stating on the game's store page:

"The rumors are true! The most controversial video game ever created - The Guy Game - is no longer available!"
