According to Andy Gavin, the creator of Crash Bandicoot, Dr. Neo Cortex is based on Brain from Pinky and the Brain.

"I remember it clearly. The four of us were eating at this mediocre Italian near Universal and I had this idea of an evil genius villain with a big head. Obviously brainy cartoon villains have big heads. He was all about his attitude and his minions. Video games need lots of minions. Jason had become very fond of Pinky and the Brain and we imagined a more malevolent Brain with minions like the weasels in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. A villain, all full of himself, unable to conceive of ever doing anything the simple way, but constantly (in his eyes) betrayed by the incompetence of his henchmen.

I put on my silly villain voice and intoned, "If you had three neurons between you, you couldn't make a triangle!" With this attitude, his name, Doctor Neo Cortex, popped instantly into our heads."

This game, just like the last, has a secret Street Fighter move that you can unlock if you get every collectible in the game. In the second Sigma stage, once you get to a fork where you can go up or down a ladder, use your ice shot to freeze the bat and climb up the ladder at the top. Pass the obstacles, and when you are falling down, hang to the left. If you make it without losing energy (you can use an energy tank), there should be a Dr. Light capsule that will teach you the Shoryuken.

For years, Lara Croft's bust size was believed to be the result of an error made by developer Toby Gard, when he accidentally increased the dimensions of her breasts by 150%. The creative team then argued to keep the change. This claim originated from a 1997 interview with Gard, who joked that a "slip of the mouse" resulted in Lara's chest being resized by 150% instead of 50%. In a 2021 article by TheGamer investigating the origin of the claim, Gard confirmed that this statement was intended as a joke. The article also revealed that false belief in the claim was exacerbated by an April Fool's Day article by GameSpot in 2000, which attributed the claim to a supposed developer named Nigel West, who is not actually listed in the credits for any Tomb Raider games that existed at that time.

On the pause screen, if you hold the jump button and press up, down, down, down, an 8-bit version of Guile's Theme will start playing and override all the music in the game until you exit the game. On the official soundtrack, the name of the music is "Goes With Everything", referencing the "Guile's Theme Goes With Everything" meme.
