*In the Japanese version of the game, two direct references to the ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' series are made. When he asks which monster appears first in the [[Pipe Vault]], one of the possible answers is "[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy V|Exdeath]]", the villain of ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy V|Final Fantasy V]]''; and when he asks who the ultimate enemy of the adventure is, a possible answer is "[[wikipedia:Kefka Palazzo|Kefka]]", the villain of ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy VI|Final Fantasy VI]]''. In the English translation, these choices were replaced with [[Nipper Plant|Chompweed]] and [[Goomba]], respectively.
