The seemingly unique design for the Belmonts' Vampire Killer whip, with a metal chain, a morning star at the end, and the religious-looking crossguard, is actually very closely taken from two different sources: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and the Pachinko game Castlevania: Erotic Violence.

Attachment In the living room of the Border House, to the left of the corkboard, there is a small, unmarked wall area that when hovered over will reveal a caption for a "Painting". Clicking it will instead cause April to walk to the adjacent right wall where the unseen painting is hung and comment:

April: "It's a reproduction of an early Lebowski. Not a particular favorite of mine, but, there ya are."

During the cutscene "Vision in the Living Room" which is only played if April has chosen to not work the evening shift at the Fringe Café, a shot of the painting depicting an abstract rendition of a woman's head can be seen. This painting appears to be a caricature of American actress Julianne Moore, who appeared one year prior to The Longest Journey's release in the 1998 film "The Big Lebowski" in the role of artist Maude Lebowski, suggesting that the painting may be a self-portrait.

Outside the Mercury Theatre, a poster can be found for a fictional film called "A Welsh Ghost Story" that April claims is "a classic", and is written and directed by Ragnar Tørnquist, the game's creator. This film was actually based on a real work-in-progress screenplay with the same tentative title by Tørnquist that would later be uploaded online in 2014 under the name "In the Dark Places".

The Book of Secrets is a showcase of voice acting outtakes, unused music and concept art that can be unlocked by beating the game and is accessed from the title screen. However, there is a secret way to unlock it earlier on in the game.

Spoiler:In the hallway outside April's bedroom, a leaf from an Organic plastic plant can be collected. This leaf can then be used on the Flowerbed in The City Green, triggering an animation of April planting the leaf next to it which immediately sprouts a large flower. She will then comment about hearing a voice stating that a "Book of Secrets" was now open, unlocking the bonus content.

Attachment By holding X or Y while using Samurai Fist, Jack can perform two secret animations that act as references to a scene from Episode XXXVI of the original series, where Jack and two Xiaolin monks battle and notice similarities between each other's skills:
•The first animation shows Jack performing the Water Beetle martial arts style.
•The second animation shows Jack turning towards the camera and performing the principal secret sign of the Xiaolin monks (a raised index finger and suppressed thumb).

The bonus stage music that is used in Tapper is a slight variation of the song "Here Comes the King", a jingle written to promote the alcoholic beverage Budweiser which was the first sponsor of Tapper and featured the drink's logos plastered on multiple screens in the game. After Anheuser-Busch ended their sponsorship and the game was revised as "Root Beer Tapper", some song names needed to be changed to avoid legal trouble.

When using Mallow's Psychopath move on enemies, a brief blurb representing the target's thoughts will pop up. In the Japanese release, a large number of them are references to Japanese popular culture, nodding to works such as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Sailor Moon, Gundam, Fist of the North Star, Neon Genesis Evangelion, etc. In the English localization, most of these are either translated literally without accounting for the context, replaced with references to American popular culture (such as Madonna, Poltergeist II: The Other Side, and president Theodore Roosevelt), or otherwise completely rewritten.

Attachment By entering the "My Marble" menu, opening the "Enter Unlock Code" screen, and typing in "DEDICATION" (in all-caps), the player can unlock a unique marble skin with the logo of livestreaming group Vinesauce. The skin and password reference an infamous moment in one of Vinesauce member Vinny's streams of the game, in which he emitted an unusually loud and visceral scream of frustration after falling out of bounds just after saying "You wanna talk about some-- some dedication?"

Attachment In 2021, a secret display mode for the PlayStation 2 version of the game was discovered that involves first setting the standard video output to 480p (through the "Progressive Scan Mode" option), and then starting a new game with the profile name "PSONE". Doing this will cause the game to lower the standard output from 480p to 240p and disable texture filtering, making it more closely resemble a PlayStation game. For unknown reasons, this mode is referred to as "Christian Slater mode" in the source code.

The game manual featured throughout every version's cutscenes (except the DS version) is the cover from the Xbox 360 version. The DS version, however, is actually from the in-game cutscenes used from every other version. Interestingly, the DS version’s cutscenes resemble the in-game ones from the other versions.

In the Canalave Library there is a Book that was not in the original games for the DS, called the "The Sea's Legend", that the game describes as being "recently discovered" and that states the mysterious following text:

Spoiler:"Once upon a time in the East Sea, there was a Pokémon known as the prince. A brave human asked Pokémon living in the sea to let them see the prince. Mantyke, Buizel, and a Quilfish with huge spikes acknowledged the human's bravery and joined them. Together, they set off in a boat over the sunset-streaked sea, sailing through the ocean gate stretched over the waves. News of this reached the ears of the prince, who went to meet the brave little party at the Seaside Hollow."

It's possible that this text was put into Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Spoiler:to tease the upcoming game Pokemon Legends: Arceus via giving the player a hint of a storyline or event that may happen in the latter game's plot. Furthering the suspicious nature of the text, Game Freak, when sending out review copies of the games, forbid any reviewer from talking about any of the text in the library.
