- Email stunt double — The Kiddie Pool is labeled as a Pie Factory in its second appearance. This is also seen in monument.
- In the DVD commentary, the Brothers Chaps describe the Pie Factory as the fourth level of the game. This is correct in the sense that it is the fourth stage to appear in the American arcade version, although it is only the third unique one (stage three is a repeat of the first stage, only slightly harder).
