* ThatOneBoss: You're in for a world of hurt when you go into the boss battle against the Bigfoot-like character. Unlike most of the other bosses in the game, everything about the boss battle [[LuckBasedMission completely randomized]], meaning that there's no telling when a coconut is going to fall from the trees above or the Bigfoot guy will [[ThatOneAttack toss a difficult-to-avoid bug at you]], resulting in a boss fight that can be nigh-impossible if luck isn't on your side going in.

** The appearance of Mario in Fred's clothes can now be (sort of) realized in an official ''Mario'' game; ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' enables Mario to wear a caveman tunic, and if you leave Mario's trademark hat on him while he is wearing it, it ''does'' bear a resemblance to the infamous sprite.
