Trivia

 * Vitreous, the boss of Misery Mire from, is called in Japanese. The suffix "-dogger," in addition to its eyeball appearance, connects it to Digdogger.
 * Although described as a sea urchin in the international manual, the Japanese manual describes it as a giant Unira, an urchin monster from . In that game, an Unira will become stunned if Bubbles, the protagonist, uses a sound attack on it. Using the recorder to defeat Digdogger may be a reference to this.
