In the level, "LOGBOX 720" from Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, the player can find a giant It's Mr.Pants Xbox disc, however, the game was only released on the Game Boy Advance. Many websites assumed this was a hint that an Xbox Live Port was planned, but Rareware responded by saying, "Our website mascot that somehow managed to get his own game. It's highly doubtful he'll get another."

Due to the childish nature of the drawings, Rare had the artists draw all of the game's artwork with their left hands so it would genuinely look bad.

The game was originally intended to have a multi-player mode with up to 4 players via a link cable, however the feature was dropped and the game became only single-player.

The gameplay was originally viewable in both 2D and isometric 3D layouts (whilst being developed as Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers), however there were consistency issues when switching between the layouts. It was also hard for players to see the board whilst in 3D and wasn't to the expectations of the developers.

It's Mr. Pants was originally Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers, however due to Microsoft acquiring Rare, the game was canceled in 2002. Eventually in 2003, THQ picked up the game and instead of Donkey Kong, Rare's then mascot, Mr. Pants, was used.

The language select screen in It's Mr. Pants has a bug that makes the sound clips played for each language overlap when they are being selected. Paul Machacek, a designer for the game, says that when QA testers approached the development team with this bug, they overruled it because they felt it was funnier than they intended it to be, keeping it in the final release.

The "Crayon Snake" in marathon mode was originally intended to be called the "Trouser Snake", however the game's publisher, THQ, had requested for the name to be changed. This was possibly due to the sexual innuendo associated with the term.
