Attachment Originally, the character Shale was meant to be the size of the other golems in the game. However, the developers had trouble with her fitting through doors and originally cut the character entirely. Thanks to a delay in the release schedule, they had some extra time and decided to create a new, smaller character model for Shale. This is referenced in the game as she said she was "chiseled down" by her previous owner.

It is possible to get a game over at the beginning of chapter 4-1. After getting the helmet go into the door. When it asks you if you want to put on the helmet, say no. Do this until Tippi says "If you don't, do you have any idea what your fate will be? AWFUL. Do you want this?" Answer yes to every question after this. After this Tippi will leave and you will get a Game Over.

Attachment At the beginning of the Facility level, players are required to open a door with a computer switch in order to progress to the next area. Unfortunately, the computer can be destroyed, leaving players stuck in the starting area. In order to get around this, the developers added a scientist that eventually rushes to the bathroom. He is carrying keycard A, which will open all of the doors in the level (with the exception of the bottling room, which requires the door decoder).

It's possible to play as General Leo in places you weren't meant to. Using the airship glitch (which is done by first getting the airship, flying around, getting back to the floating continent, saving, and then dying, giving you use of the airship to travel to any part of the world) you can skip getting a majority of the characters besides a select few. These character's slots will be replaced by characters only used in certain parts of the game, like General Leo.

The code names and abbreviations are:
(NES) for the Nintendo Entertainment System (acronym).
(SNES) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (acronym).
(DMG) Dot Matrix Game, code name of the Game Boy.
(NUS) Nintendo Ultra 64 (sixty-four), code name of the Nintendo 64.
(CGB) For the Game Boy Color, assumed to mean Color Game Boy.
(AGB) Atlantis, code name of the Game Boy Advance (Atlantis/Advance Game Boy).
(DOL) Dolphin, code name of the Nintendo GameCube.
(NTR) Nitro, code name of the Nintendo DS.
(RVL) Revolution, code name of the Nintendo Wii.
(CTR) For the 3DS, the Codename of the 3DS is still unknown.
(WUP) For the Wii U which may simply stand for 'Wii U Project', though its code name was Cafe.

Attachment The Twin Snakes portrayed Ocelot as being right-handed, as he was able to show off with his gun with his right hand. After it was cut off by Gray Fox, he attempted to do the same with his left in one scene and subsequently dropped his gun. However, he later managed to shoot the PAL key right out of Snake's hand without harming Snake or damaging the key. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater later shows that Ocelot was equally proficient with both hands and he also used his left hand throughout Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.

Attachment There is a glitch where the player's colour scheme can be changed.

This is done through:
1. Starting a game as either a boy or a girl and saving.
2. Starting a new game as the opposite gender.
3. Save the game, but turn it off while it says "SAVING...DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER".
4. When the player restarts, his or her character should be the wrong color.

You can do this without starting a new game but doing so with Pokemon in your PC will cause them to be lost.

Performing this glitch also unlocks Mystery Gift.

Attachment Early on in Level 5 "Barons Hed: The Fallen City", if you scare the villagers in Barons Hed, they will run away, and you can follow one fleeing woman who will open the locked door of a house near a bridge. If you can get inside the house fast enough, Max from Sam & Max, a franchise whose first game Sam & Max Hit the Road was developed and published by LucasArts, can be found inside sitting in a chair wielding a modified Bryar pistol (which is ironic since the Bryar pistol is already a modified Bryar rifle) that shoots highly-damaging green bolts instead of red. Max also has a high amount of health similar to that of a Dark Jedi.

Max does not play a death animation when killed. Instead, he just plays the same idle animation when he is first found, but takes on the attributes of a corpse, such as lack of collision. However if he is activated like a switch or door, he will get out of the chair and approach the room's door to exit, waiting for you to open it for him. Upon doing so, he will then wander the level, killing enemies and villagers alike. After Max has been let outside, the player can activate him again, letting them see from his view. A HUD message is also displayed reading, "It's MaxVision™!" If he is attacked by the player, he will return fire. If the player pushes Max outside instead of activating him, and attacks him, he will not fire back. If he is killed after being activated, he will freeze standing instead of playing any animation, but still becomes a corpse.

Max makes a second cameo appearance in Level 9 "Fuel Station Launch". During the final jump at the end of the level, you need to quickly snap back the mouse just before you land so you are facing backwards, which will allow you to see Max's face plastered three times on the front of the platform you just jumped off.
