Attachment Pikachu and Pichu's Neutral Special, Thunder Jolt, is actually a move taken from and exclusive to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, specifically the Pikachu Card from the very first Base Set. This is true for both the English and Japanese versions of the move, as the same exact name in both languages is used from the card (Thunder Jolt and "Electricity Attack" respectively). This makes Thunder Jolt the only adapted Pokémon Special Move to be directly taken from the TCG, instead of the games or anime.

Attachment Bayonetta's shadow is not of herself, but of the demon Madama Butterfly, who she made a pact with and is the source of her attacks. This is most likely a reference to Devil May Cry, where Dante's costume while playing on The Legendary Dark Knight mode, which is of the demon Sparda's human form, casts the shadow of Sparda's demon form when not in Devil Trigger mode.

Attachment In Room 209 of Blue Creek Apartments, there is a pre-determined once-per-playthrough chance of hearing a whisper after walking into the room. For years, it was unknown what this whisper was saying, with fans who analyzed the audio clip speculating that it had to do with Spoiler:James reflecting on killing his wife Mary and leaving her body in his car at the beginning of the game. Conversely, one of the game's English localizers Jeremy Blaustein believed that it was a clip of one of the English voice actors practicing their lines in the sound booth, and was mistakenly added in by the Japanese developers who would not have known what it meant otherwise as it was unscripted. However, it was discovered in 2015 that the whisper was actually a snippet of a pre-existing stock sound effect of a man whispering gibberish.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

In the opening cinematic, a hidden backmasked message can be heard. When the audio is played forward, a whispery male voice is heard stating the ominous message:

"A nation of fools.
The nation is under siege.
Don't trust the corporate media.
Religious right is insane."

Two likely possibilities for the nature of the message are:

•A possible Easter Egg foreshadowing Citizen Siege, a Hollywood project separate from the Oddworld universe that Lorne Lanning and Sherry McKenna were designing, but fell into hiatus upon the 2008 financial crisis and it's impact on the entertainment industry.

•Around the time of Stranger's Wrath's initial release, exclusively on the original Xbox, the United State's invasion of the Middle East was very recent, and this backmasked message may have been Oddworld Inhabitants protesting the political state of affairs within the United States at this time, keeping in line with the franchise's themes of opposition towards industrialization, corporatism, and political malevolence.

The word "Maple" can be spelled when putting together the first letters of five of the six main Hero characters: Mercedes, Aran, Phantom, Luminous, and Evan. Shade, the sixth character, is intentionally not included because his existence was canonically long forgotten when the Black Mage was sealed away before the start of the series.

However, Evan did not exist at the time the Black Mage was sealed. Evan's deceased predecessor, Freud, was one of the six Heroes who sealed the entity. Considering this, Shade could still be included to spell "Maple" by way of his original name "EunWol" ("은월") used outside of the North American/European/Oceanian servers for the game, while Freud would still act as the class to leave out.

Additionally, in the Explorer characters' plotline, the NPC characters that accompany the player character are named Sugar, Tess, Olive, and Rondo. If the player character is designated as "You", their first letters spell the word "Story".
