Trivia

  • Kudgel's SNES sprites show him wearing yellow pants instead of the red ones depicted in his official art. This was corrected in the GBA remake.
  • Kudgel's scream in the original game is Klobber's scream slowed down and lower-pitched, while his voice in the Game Boy Advance version is Chunky Kong's voice recycled.
