** An explanation of the American plot: there were plans to make an arcade cabinet version using Nintendo VS arcade system. One problem with that is that Meta Fight never had an eye catching intro scene or even a self playing demo so they had to be added, and considering [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|mutated reptiles]] had just exploded in popularity, well, put two and two together. Unfortunately the arcade cabinet never happened due to how long you could live off a single quarter. This also explains "Authentic Arcade Editon!" on the box cover.
** The Famicom version, ''Chō Wakusei Senki (Super Planetary War Chronicle) Metafight'' had a pretty standard space opera plot and setting. The game was set in the distant future on an alien planet and instead of a young boy looking for his missing frog, the main character was a space soldier sent to destroy an alien overlord. However, most of the plot is detailed only in the manual, and only the opening and ending are actually different.
* [[Player Punch]]: The fourthseventh boss battle, if one reads the aforementioned Scholastic Publishing tie-in, becomes one, as it turns out that the boss is {{spoiler|Jason's escaped pet frog, Fred}}. But when you beat the game, you see Jason and Fred sitting on SOPHIA's roof watching the enemy's stronghold crumble, so either Fred turned back to normal after being defeated and the game never bothered to show it or neither of the frog bosses was Fred and Jason found him somewhere between beating the final boss and escaping the enemy stronghold. ''The Worlds of Power'' novelization explains that the frog boss' appearance was merely a disguise, meant to torment Jason psychologically. The real Fred was alive and well.
* [[That One Boss]]: In the first game, the sixth and seventh bosses. Not to mention the fifth boss if you didn't enter his room with your gun fully powered-up.
