- In the Japanese version, Fracktail says "Please Insert Side B", which is a reference to the Famicom Disk System.

- Gate 67 says "I am Mustard of Doom! Soon you will know I have the guarding of the 67th gate! Your face is nonsense! It is like a sad doodle drawn by a person who is ugly!

And once Mustard of Doom gets back up: "Now I have failed to slather you in justice...but one day, the slathering will be mine! Be off, awful person!"
