When Sora holds a battering Item or certain other items (such as a Mr. Saturn) he assumes the same idle stance that he did whenever he turned into Valor Form, one of the drive forms in Kingdom Hearts II that allows him to dual-wield two Keyblades, which in turn is also the basis for one of his alternate costumes in this game.

Attachment In the Nintendo 64 version of the game, in the cutscene during the Iron Mountains level where Rayman is riding the hot air balloon, repeatedly mashing the Z button before Rayman jumps off will cause one of two different hidden messages to appear:

• ALWAYS BET ON DUKE !
• COME GET SOME !

These are both references to Duke Nukem.

One of the early ideas for this game was an story driven game where the player would interview various people in a village to see if they were worthy to be sacrificed to the monster train. Gavin Eisenbeisz of Two Star Games scrapped the idea because it was considered too weird and because he decided to put bigger emphasis on gameplay rather than storytelling.

According to Gavin Eisenbeisz of Two Star Games, this game is a parody of Thomas the Tank Engine; the idea came because he noticed that there aren't enough games that parody children's TV shows.

Attachment In June 2010, several players noticed that a package file was attaching itself to other packages in The Sims 3. The file was a corrupted girl doll object titled "Girl Doll Dressed", which was incorrectly cloned from the Teddy bear. Game installations became "infected" by players downloading lots, houses or Sims with the hidden doll attached, similar to how computer viruses spread, and the doll was determined to cause longer loading times and game crashes. Players then unknowingly uploaded these infected packages to The Exchange, the game's online custom content workshop, causing it to spread to even more players.

Many Sims community sites began reporting the issue and one user posted a guide on how to manually remove the doll from the game to prevent the glitch from spreading, and a SimGuru on EA's official Sims forum eventually responded with a stickied post informing the community about the issue, and stated that EA would patch the game in the future to institute measures preventing corrupted objects from being uploaded to The Exchange.

If you have a full inventory up until the point where Porky's mom squashes Buzz Buzz, he will notice that Ness can't hold the Sound Stone right now and won't give it to him. Instead, he will transport it to Tracy, meaning that you don't have to hold the Sound Stone in your inventory for the entire game and it will still record the melodies of the "Your Sanctuary" locations even in Tracy's possession. Normally, the Sound Stone remains in your inventory for the whole game and cannot be held by Escargo Express. If you do wish to have the Sound Stone back from Tracy, you must talk to her in-person.

By plugging in a second controller and pressing Select during the cutscene where Ness, Porky and Picky encounter the Meteorite and Buzz Buzz, the direction and length of the light that shines from it can be changed. The height in which the cutscene is activated seems to affect how the light behaves, and it seems to be intrinsically linked to where Buzz Buzz's sprite moves on-screen as the light will sometimes follow his looping animation by extending or retracting slightly.

In the Alpha build of the game and its E3 2015 demo, the game originally revealed story elements in the form of "Epitaphs", small gravestones spread throughout Lothric which upon offering a flame to it will display a text blurb with a lore-related message on each. In the English version of the Alpha build, some Epitaphs have no text due to the feature having been scrapped by that time, however in the Japanese version of the Alpha build, the data for all Epitaph texts and most of their physical placements on the game's map exist, albeit some are out-of-bounds or clustered together as their locations had not been finalized before being scrapped.

Attachment One of the news articles and forum posts that appear in the game talk about the announcement of a new nonexistent handheld device from Bandai called the "WonderHawk", touted as the successor to the also nonexistent device the "WonderSwan Revolution". In reality, the only new models Bandai made after the original WonderSwan were the WonderSwan Color and the SwanCrystal. All three were originally meant to be competitors to the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, and all three were outsold by them, leading to the WonderSwan's discontinuation in 2003, the year after this game's release in Japan.

Attachment In the original game, the mural in Hyrule Castle Town was blurry and hard to make out. In Twilight Princess HD, the textures were updated with clearer, brand new designs. Notably, this updated mural features a Rito, a species which does not exist at the time the game takes place nor in the series' Child Timeline.

Separately, in the Temple of Time, a picture frame can be found with a backwards message written in Hylian along the lower border. Translating it reveals a hidden developer credit: "Jack Kirby Crosby Made This".

Crosby, a graphics designer working for Tantalus on the HD remaster of Twilight Princess, later confirmed that he was responsible for both that credit and the mural, the latter of which was the result of a higher-up at Nintendo asking for some reliefs in Hyrule Castle Town to be redone in the same style as a shop he had re-textured. The new mural design was inspired by Crosby's own idea of a story for a Zelda game and drew additional inspiration from a Zelda art book without any story direction from Nintendo, meaning the events depicted therein are non-canon.

Attachment In early pre-release screenshots and in the first playable demo of the game, Link could ride a canoe in Ordon Village's river, although this feature was removed from this area in the final game. These screenshots also suggest that the river was planned to be bigger and potentially a Fishing Hole before being sized down, although Hena's pond in the final game bears some resemblance to this area.

Interestingly, an unused yet fully implemented feature for canoes allows dogs to hop on and ride with Link on the bow, and then hop off when returning to land. However, dogs and canoes do not appear together in any location in the final game unless they are modded in. Seeing as Ordon Village has two dogs inside different houses and was originally meant to have canoes, it's possible this place would have done more with this feature before it was scrapped.

In Level 3-17, after blasting yourself down past a set of two crushers, you will come to a split path with two scientists on each side. Going down the left path and activating the switch at the end will open a pit which will lead to a small laboratory featuring a creature contained inside of a tube. Destroying the tube will trigger a bonus cutscene featuring The Maw, the titular star of Twisted Pixel Games' first game released a few months earlier in 2009, getting sucked out into space as 'Splosion Man nearly gets sucked out himself before waving goodbye, and cutting to a shot of The Maw hungrily swimming after a suffocating scientist. This cutscene rewards you with an Xbox Achievement called "Eventual Destruction of a Galaxy".

The song that plays during Map 09: Deimos Anomaly, "Breath of Horror", features several slowed down voices saying something unintelligible. Speeding up the song reveals that it is actually several slightly edited copies of the same sound clip of a few people singing what most closely resembles the phrase "Danny won! Hey!" and noises that fans have speculated sounds like a ping-pong match happening in the background. When asked about the origin of the clip in a 2010 Game Scares interview with the PlayStation version's composer Aubrey Hodges, he said:

"I did use a spoken phrase in that piece from a previous game but I can neither confirm or deny it’s exact content. Hehe"

Attachment At Lakehill Seattle Hospital, while Ellie is looking for Nora, she holds a guard named Whitney at knifepoint, who is seen during the game playing a PlayStation Vita. The game she is playing is Hotline Miami, as indicated by the second floor of Chapter 7: Neighbors on the Vita's screen and the song "Hydrogen" playing in the background.

In a 2020 Eurogamer interview with the game's co-director Neil Druckmann, he revealed that they were originally going to use a previous Naughty Dog game in that scene, until they thought:

"Okay, is there an opportunity here to just make some meta-statement about the kind of narrative we're after? And we're also just huge fans of Hotline Miami - like, I love that game. I love the engine of that game. So we reached out to those guys, and they were nice enough to let us put it in there."
