Trivia / The Tricky Mod

• Approval of God: Krinkels actively followed the mod's development and answered the crew's questions whenever the stuff they made appealed to the series' canon or not, he himself has even confirmed that the Tricky Mod is canon to the series (Although he was probably joking). On a smaller scale, Tom Fulp, creator of Newgrounds, provided certain sound effects from his own fangame Madness: Accelerant for The Full-Ass Tricky Mod release.

• Demand Overload: The release of version 2 (The Full-Ass Tricky Mod) caused the download servers on Gamebanana to go down within a minute of its upload due to its extreme popularity.
• Follow the Leader: Hellclown and Expurgation were the first songs in the FNF modding community to introduce types of mechanics that several mods have implemented since, like damage notes, One Hit Kills, or objects blocking the notes.
• Prop Recycling: Banbuds' Tricky voice samples are commonly reused in fan songs and other MadCom/FNF crossovers. Zanta in Holiday Mod uses these samples as well, just pitched down.

• Serendipity Writes the Plot: The reason why IRIS' symbol appears in the final cutscene. The developers didn’t have time to animate an even longer fight scene, so they decided to Throw It In! and create a Cliffhanger instead.
