Within the data for every version of the game is a semi-functionable no-clipping mode that allows the player to freely explore maps without being stunned by the sunlight. The mode can be enabled by changing the value from "weatherphase1" to "weatherphase0". No-clipping mode doesn't work on Roadside Destruction, the tutorial portion of Chicken Con Carnage, and Showdown with Omegaton. Additionally, the player won't be able to destroy objects that are within the sunlight.

Looking at the right side of the unlockable concept art for Showdown with Omegaton will reveal a gigantic dinosaur hiding in the water. Considering that this level takes place in Tokyo, it is most likely a reference to Godzilla.

Originally, instead of controlling a Wind Warrior in co-op mode, the player would have taken control of Nimbus. A partially unused transformation animation (which was re-purposed into a flying transition animation for the final game) and a stunned animation for Nimbus can be found in the game's files.

Unlike its Wii counterpart, characters such as Zephyr, Nimbus, and the Wind Warrior use two separate models in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ports of the game.
The first model is used during fly-through cinematics while the second one is used in-game. The Wii version only used one model, presumably because of the lack of resources on the Wii's hardware.
