Attachment Surprisingly, there is a third hidden message in the credits beyond Carltron's, "THE END?" and "DOLLY GRIP Brian Fehdrau," that reads, "It's Bill's fault." This message appears very briefly before the screen fades to black.

According to Fehdrau, the lead programmer, "It's Bill's fault" was an inside joke regarding Bill Kristiansen, another one of the programmers working on the game, who had "a particular habit of being at fault when [a build of the game] was busted."

Attachment Shadow Zero is a character that has appeared in all of the Seiken Densetsu games. In Final Fantasy Adventure, they were common enemies that upon touching the player would blind them. In Secret of Mana, they appeared in treasure chests rarely and did nothing. They also randomly appeared when casting a lvl. 8:99 Evil Gate spell when they would storm the screen with one lagging behind the pack. In Seiken Densetsu 3, Shadow Zeros only appear in the Mana Holyland and once its HP drops to 75% it shape shifts into one of your characters. In Legend of Mana, a Shadow Zero can be obtained as a pet which protects your from blindness and offers a mini-game in the pub in Domina. A special kind of Shadow Zero can be fought called "Shadow Zero-One" as a mini-boss which shape-shifts into your character.

Attachment An enemy that can randomly spawn in the Eridium Blight map is called Donkey Mong, an obvious reference to the Nintendo character "Donkey Kong". Not only is his name just a simple letter replacement, but he attacks the player by throwing barrels, similar to Donkey Kong's first title. Upon killing Donkey Mong, the player will earn the achievement "Definitely An Italian Plumber", a reference to the Mario series, also by Nintendo, as well as an achievement in the first Borderlands, "My Brother is an Italian Plumber".

Throughout the first two levels, the Nopino are based on Yokai from Japanese folklore, including monsters such as Tengu, Kappa, Tsukumogami, as well as others. However, the Gorgonzola Goblins revealed at the end of Stage 2 and beyond have a more Western feel, mainly European and some Middle Eastern. These include pirates, knights, bishops, a Vampire, a Harpy (Exclusive to the Japanese Version), a Kraken, and a Genie.

M'Aiq the Liar is a Khajiit rogue who can be found on a small island southeast of Dagon Fel in the Sheogorad Region. He is an Easter egg, and much of his dialogue refers to many requested or anticipated features of Morrowind which were not included in the final release of the game. He also mentions another easter egg, the Mudcrab Merchant. He is encountered again in Oblivion and Skyrim with similarly-themed dialogue.

According to Bobby Prince, the Arch-vile is an evil healer, who blasts his way through demons, but then reanimates all of them. The Dual Personality gave him the idea of giving it an evil laugh.

The laugh itself is of a young girl saying "why" with the pitched shifted down, and mixed with other sound. This was done as the Arch-vile doesn't understand why anyone would want to kill him as he sees himself as only doing good for his fellow demon.

The series gets it's name from a wager that the lead programer, Tomonobu Itagaki, made with the head of Tecmo. Itagaki assured the president he would create a video game that would garner a competent fan base. He named the series "Dead or Alive" to demonstrate that the company's future rested on the game's success.

Though ill-advised for an inexperienced player, a surprising number of boss fights are optional. Certain fights, such as the Taurus and Capra demons in the Undead Burg, can be bypassed by choosing the Thief class or choosing a Master Key as your Gift when building a character. Some are simply well-hidden, like the Stray Demon, Crossbreed Priscilla (who does not even start out hostile), and Dark Sun Gwyndolin. The Demon Firesage and Centipede Demon can be bypassed by being a high-ranked member of the Chaos Servant Covenant, and finally, perhaps the most difficult to bypass of all, the Ceaseless Discharge can be avoided by having enough vitality, healing, fire protection and speed to run across the molten lava he produces in the Demon Ruins.

The GTS has a filter to prevent Pokémon with inappropriate nicknames from being traded. However this prevented Pokémon, such as Cofagrigus, from being traded without nicknaming it because their name contains a keyword. This has been mostly fixed but some Pokémon, such as Nosepass, are still unable to be traded without a nickname.

The reason that LeafGreen is the intentional release instead of WaterBlue is that Junichi Masuda, the game director, wanted an icon of peace (which is what leaf is said to represent) instead of an icon that conflicts with the image of fire used by the other game.
