Trivia

Red Snake's introduction to the player is a reference to the Japanese comedian Shopan Igari. Shopan's act consisted of taking a box with holes in it, tapping it with a flute, and yelling "Red snake, come on!" After saying this, a red snake puppet would come out of the hole. The localization team, not knowing the joke, mistook this for his name.
