The order that your rival Brenden or May sends out their Pokémon during battle is determined by which gender they are and, thus forth, is also determined by which gender the player chose for their own character before their adventure started. However, for reasons unknown, this only works if the starter the rival choose was Treecko.

Attachment Two of the 12 friends you can rescue in the game are Chris and Dan of HyperDuck SoundWorks, an electronic music duo specializing in composing video game soundtracks and the composers of the soundtrack to Dust: An Elysian Tail. Once unlocked, they will appear on the stage within the Sanctuary behind a turntable performing the song "Glick 16" alongside the addition of multi-colored lights.

After this user emailed HyperDuck SoundWorks sometime in 2020 about their origin and involvement in the game, Chris responded with:

"We spoke to Dean [Dodrill] about the Ducks being in this special room he was making, he brought the idea to us I believe. We were of course totally down with that, and we wrote Glick 16 to go with the club where all the characters gathered to party"

Attachment The letters you collect can sometimes give hints on how to rescue other characters; one such hint is a letter titled "The Girl" which says the following:

"Don't worry, I put her cage in a safe place. If you ever need to find her, just climb up high above the wooden bridge near Denham. And don't try doing that wall-jump move of yours to get to her - you'll fall and break your neck!"

While not signed, if you do go to the bridge in Denham and make your way up, you can rescue Bandage Girl from the Super Meat Boy series, implying that the letter was written by Dr. Fetus and sent to Meat Boy, who is known for wall jumping in his series.

Attachment When emptying the Rubbish Chutes, you will often find one that has a Blue Diamond and a grey and green device. This is a reference to the Henry Stickmin series, a series of Flash Games made by the artist of Among Us, PuffballsUnited. The Diamond is the Tunisian Diamond from Stealing the Diamond, and the device is the Teleporter that Henry uses in every game and almost never works.

Using Kombat Kodes (six digit numerical codes in sets of three, specified by Mortal Kombat iconographies) on the VS. character screen before a match, several messages can be conjured on screen when the match has begun. Several of these messages are developer messages and references to other games:

•999-999 = Displays a message indicating what version revision is being played.
•550-550 = Displays the message: "Go see the Mortal Kombat Live Tour!", advertising the 1995 martial arts theatrical stage show of the same name.
•122-221 = Displays the message: "Skunky! - E.F." which assumedly is an inside joke from a developer playing on the "Toasty!" gag by programmer Dan Forden.
•987-666 = Displays the message: "Hold flippers during Casino Run". This is a reference to Jack*Bot, an arcade pinball cabinet produced by Williams Entertainment who has worked with Midway on the home console ports of Mortal Kombat titles.
•004-400 = Displays the message: "Whatcha gun do? - E.B", a joke message from Ed Boon that possibly pokes fun at the fact of Mortal Kombat being a fighting game.

The Sega Saturn release of the game also features two exclusive developer messages:

•200-002 = Displays the message: "It should work!? - P.A.B."
•300-003 = Displays the message: "PUB! - D.K.P."

There is a message prompt that can be activated under seemingly impossible circumstances. Should a player manage to kill themselves with the sniper rifle weapon, a prompt will appear stating: "[Username] violated the laws of space time and sniped himself/herself."

Due to the sniper rifle being a hit-scan weapon (it will only fire exactly at where the mouse cursor is hovering) it is unknown if any legitimate means to achieve this scenario in-game without modding or hacking exist.

Attachment There is an arrow in the game named after a member of the game's Steam Community page named WillieSea, who created a dictionary of items and indexes found in Salt on the page and also discovered an early way to edit the values of the game's save data in its registry. When Version 1.5 of the game rolled out, the developers changed the way the data was saved in the registry, and with it implemented an easter egg changing the name of the Ancient Shard Arrow weapon to "Willie's Favorite Arrow". The only known way of accessing the renamed arrow is to modify the hex values of any save file from Version 1.4 or earlier and then convert it to Version 1.5 whereby the game runs under the new save system.

The main theme of Nanshi no Game (translated to English as "Nameless Game") called "Nameless Theme" is exactly 4 minutes and 44 seconds long. It is highly likely this is intentional considering the game's recurring themes of Japanese urban legends and horror, with one of the most infamous superstitions in Eastern cultures like Japan being Tetraphobia spawning from the number 4 and the Japanese word for "death" sharing the same pronunciation, "shi".

When playing as Penta Penguin, he will occasionally say "Penguin Yay 1".

The two last names that appear under the "Special Thanks" section in the game's end credits are "Jean Michel Bruitage" (translated from French to English as "Jean Michel sound effect") and "David Goodenough". These two names are not related to real developers, but to two characters from the French video game reviewer "Le Joueur du Grenier" ("The Attic Gamer") who are parodical representations of people making bad sound effects, and bad game development.

In the Xbox 360 release of the game, you can turn off a stage's music by playing personal music via the Xbox Guide and then pausing it, allowing for harder-to-hear ambient/field recordings that play in the background of certain stages to be heard. For instance, one spot in the Nighttime Spagonia hub area plays a sound clip of someone whistling while taking a shower; the song being whistled is Sonic Unleashed’s theme song "The World Adventure", and a shortened edit of the same whistling is featured in the first teaser trailer for the game.

Attachment Using up more than 8 credits will set the bad ending for the game. While the original Japanese release displays a credits counter on the Continue screen, this is omitted from the North American release. However, the game has a subtle visual indicator on the Continue screen showing which ending you earned. The photograph in the good ending features Kyle and Erin smiling normally; the bad ending alters Erin's face slightly, giving her fangs and a minorly distorted brow to show Kyle has failed and she has become a vampire.

This also affects the Game Over screen when choosing "No" to end that run of the game. When at 8 or less credits, a cutscene will play showing Nosferatu biting into Erin before showing the Game Over screen. When you have more than 8 credits, no cutscene will play as Erin has already become a vampire in the photo, and will cut straight to the Game Over screen. Some time after the game's initial release, cartridges of the game were produced and released in both Japan and North America with the Nosferatu bite scene censored by fading to a white screen just before he bites her and then displaying the Game Over screen.
