In 2009, audio engineer and programmer Scott Bilas released the Wwise project file for the game. While the project itself doesn't include the original .wav files, it's possible to reimport them within Wwise.

By swapping map files, it is possible to play the first two single-player exclusive levels in co-op mode. The first level, Roadside Destruction, plays like a regular co-op level while the second level, Chicken Con Carnage, requires player one to take control of the tornado while the second player grabs the Fire Flyers. This mechanic was eventually reused during the Vortex Race and Totem Battle segments after completing all zones.

By modding the game, it is possible to completely disable the blue screen of death glitch. The outcome varies depending on the level, and in most cases the game either crashes or becomes softlocked, but some unusual results can still come out of disabling it. In the final zone of Chicken Con Carnage, restarting the level with the dialogue popup on screen will result in Nimbus sliding away from the camera while idling.

The player can unlock concept art for a completely removed level known as Drive-In, an early version of the map Roadside Destruction. While the map was entirely scrapped, music for the level was reused in Roadside Destruction and the Training Campground segment in Chicken Con Carnage.

An E3 2009 developer walkthrough revealed that the game had a removed mechanic called advance chain collecting, which completely removes the smoke, sparks, and sizzling sounds emitted from objects containing Fire Flyers. As a result, this changes the game's difficulty. It is possible to enable this mode in the Wii version of the game via modding.

Judging by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building featured in Showdown With Omegaton, it's assumed that the level's location takes place in the center of Shinjuku City.

Despite having an idle animation in-game, Nimbus' talking animation is used for both an idle animation and a talking animation. His actual idle animation is partially unused since its only used properly in the final level, Showdown With Omegaton.

The Wii version features two unused bonus cutscenes for the level Chicken Con Carnage. The first cutscene revolves around a news reporter by the name of Chuck Gavel reporting the strange animal behavior caused by the Fire Flyers possessing them. The second cutscene introduces a removed character named Wind Boy.

One early concept for the game revolved around the player constantly growing the tornado. If the player stopped controlling the tornado, it would simply shrink and dissipate.

The game has a game-breaking glitch that triggers a blue screen of death. This glitch occurs whenever a Fatal Lua Runtime error occurs and can be caused in specific scenarios, with two known examples being when two different dialogue pop-ups try to appear at once, and if you grab 100 Fire Flyers at once during the final zone of Chicken Con Carnage.

Completing the game with all the rock and water elementals collected will unlock an alternate ending that involves Zephyr, Nimbus, and the army of Wind Warriors returning to their homeworld.

By earning a gold medal in a handful of levels in the game, a blooper reel showing botched takes of cutscenes throughout the game is unlocked to view during the end credits.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ports of the game feature a group of wandering Elvis impersonators in the map High Roller Blowout.

Despite not having a physical model, unused animations for the size 33 tornado exists within the game's files. Since no physical model is present for the size 33 tornado, the only way to properly display the unused animations is by swapping the tornado animations.

The game's cutscenes were animated using Adobe Flash and compressed through Bink Video.

Zephyr has an unused fumble animation that was intended to play right after the player stopped controlling the tornado.

Zephyr, the main character, has an unused animation that consists of him wiping both of his shoulders.

Setting the aspect ratio to 4:3 and replaying the credit segments will display both the Wind Warriors and Fire Flyers thanking the player for purchasing and completing the game.

The face of Derek McCaughan, a developer at Loose Cannon Studios makes an appearance on the tiny Tokyo citizens in the level Showdown With Omegaton.

In 2019, a tutorial video was recovered from a deleted hard drive. The tutorial video included a powerup known as the Fujita Frenzy that allows the tornado to instantly grow in size and destroy larger buildings.
