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