Attachment The Japanese Famicom Disk System version features a File Select screen with three save slots, like The Legend of Zelda. You can also see how many hours you have spent on your mission, where one hour of gameplay represents one "day." The NES version uses a password system instead.

Attachment Despite this game not featuring Metroids, in the demo version (Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt) the primary enemy is the Mochtroid. Mochtroids are failed Metroid clones which previously had only appeared in Super Metroid. They are distinguishable from Metroids as they have fewer nuclei, are far easier to kill, have an all around more sickly look (they are not as spherical or well developed as a true Metroid) and have trouble latching onto their victims (you can walk out of them, whereas to unlatch a Metroid you must use a bomb).

Attachment The background used on the title screen in the Japanese version has what appears to be an Ai-Ai Gasa (or Love-Love Umbrella) saying "Mario" and "Peach", and "Mario Kart" written in Japanese. These were removed in the international version, and the mushroom was moved.

Attachment An expansion kit was released in Japan for the game to be used with the Nintendo 64DD. Players could create custom tracks, custom vehicles and it featured a new improved soundtrack and access to new cups and new vehicles: the Super Falcon, Super Stingray and Super Cat. Even though it wasn't released outside of Japan due to the commercial failure of the Disk Drive, the expansion's data can still be found in the game's files.

The English manual gives you wrong information when it comes to the boss, Digdogger. In the Japanese manual, it states that "shockwaves will cause its body to shrivel up," hinting at the recorder being it's weakness. Instead, the English manual states that it "shrivels up when attacked," which, in fact, will do nothing to it, as it is impervious to your attacks without playing the recorder first.

Attachment Gol Dodo (JP Version) had much darker skin than Zann (US version). In a forum post on their official message boards, Natsume responded as to why they changed his skin color:

"Normally, we're happy to see ethnically diverse characters in Harvest Moon games. However, Zann had a lot of characteristics that in the West are sometimes associated with hurtful and outdated stereotypes of native African people. The skull on his head, the fact that he spoke in broken English, etc. Unfortunately, it just wasn't possible to completely change his character design and rewrite all of his dialogue, so changing his skin color seemed to be the best fix. Again, we're happy to see ethnically diverse characters in Harvest Moon games, but not when they're reinforcing negative stereotypes that a lot of our players will find hurtful and offensive."

Demos of the game, found on demo discs and Spyro: Year of the Dragon, contain full versions of the game. The rest of the game besides the demo content is simply locked, but can be accessed through the use of a cheat code. There are many differences between the game's demo release and the final retail game.

Attachment In the Spanish translation, the translation team mistook the verb "to train" (to work to improve skills) with the noun "train" (the means of transport), leading to the sentence "No hablar. No hablar. Solo tren." with "train" being the means of transport instead of the verb "entrenar".

Attachment In Japan, a special save containing Servbot #41 could be obtained through a promotion with the magazine Dengeki G. There is no other way to obtain this Servbot besides cheats, and no promotion was made outside Japan. GameShark code 8009AF0C 0001 unlocks him in the North American version. #41 can be used normally outside of Japan and all of his quotes were translated.
