The game's story intro theme sounds very similar to the spindle scene from Disney's 1959 film adaptation of "Sleeping Beauty", where Princess Aurora was possessed by Maleficent's magic spell.

The layout of the Candy level was changed in the Japanese release.

Depending on if you choose between Mickey, Donald, or both through 2-player co-op, the second section of each stage will be different. For example, in Stage 1, if you choose Mickey or Donald, the second section will be themed around giant flowers and beanstalks with a slightly different map design between the Mickey and Donald playthroughs, but if you choose co-op, you will instead be taken to an underground stage set in a mine.
