Mega Man Zero/Trivia
- No Export for You: The e-reader bonus content for the original GBA Zero 3 (Averted for the DS Compilation Rerelease). It can be nevertheless be enabled in non-Japanese versions via cheat codes, complete with English text.
- Post Script Season: The series was meant to end with Zero 3, as evidenced by resolving the Dark Elf storyline, giving X his eternal rest, bookending with the lab ruins, etc. And developer interviews. Of course, all good things must never come to an end as far as Capcom's concerned, so we got Zero 4, which turned a Post Script Season into a proper Grand Finale.
- Strangely, the fates of the three living Guardians after Omega's death are completely ignored until the Zero Complete Works, which says they died in Omega's explosive death throes. Z4 doesn't so much as mention them.
- What Could Have Been:
- Omega's second form would have do much more if not for GBA's graphics limitations, as Word of God puts it.
- One interview also states that the game is supposed to end at the third game, with Dark Elf now free, X finally retiring into Cyberspace, and Omega being destroyed for good. Thankfully, they changed the Post Script Season that is Zero 4 into an epic Grand Finale (though with some Fridge Logics here and there).
- The above two examples are dwarfed by the biggest What Could Have Been of the series in the very first game: The original X himself was going to be the Big Bad, and not just some copy. Presumably after having to deal with the maverick uprising all by himself for over a hundred years, he would have snapped and Jumped Off the Slippery Slope in the name of protecting humans. The Big Bad being a copy instead was literally a last month decision, and done because it was felt X being a canon Ron the Death Eater wouldn't sit well with the kids who played the X series games where he was the hero.
