** ''Maze Madness'':

*** An unused [[Level Editor]] made for the developers exists, but it is unknown how to get it to test levels. It can be accessed either by adding <nowiki>RhettCool=1</nowiki> to the game's section in the INI file and pressing "e" at any time during the gameplay, or by typing "room 5" in the debugger.

*** For whatever reason, the very beginning of the game's HE4 file has the toy store theme from ''[[Putt
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: [[Spy Fox]] appears in one of the theater movies for ''Freddi Fish 2'', who didn't debut until a year later.

{{quote|
'''Freddi:''' That's my special secret. }}
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: The Junkyard Dogfish. In ''The Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds'', he's hungry and growls at Freddi and Luther (biting Luther's tail fin if Freddi and Luther swim too close to him) after Luther accidentally wakes him up, but once Freddi gives him a [[Stock Femur Bone|bone]] he thanks her and leaves. In ''Maze Madness'', he keeps chasing Freddi no matter how many times he takes a Peanut Butter and Jellyfish Sandwich from her.
