Hello Kitty Island Adventure shares a title with a joke game mentioned in "Make Love, Not Warcraft", a 2006 episode of South Park. According to a Sanrio representative, this was merely a coincidence, although Sanrio did reference the name once before during an April Fool's blog post regarding the then-upcoming MMORPG Hello Kitty Online in 2008.

In preview builds of Pac-Man World, H.M.S. Windbag was called "H.M.S. Hanky". The name was changed due to South Park starting around the game's development, and the developers of Pac-Man World wanting to avoid association with the character of Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo.
