* TheyJustDidntCare: The devs actually did this ''on purpose''- take a look at Hoops, who uses several different sprites over the course of the game, looking different '''every single time'''. This doesn't even begin to describe the final boss, who has two phases. The first is [[spoiler: a pretty badass looking Barkley with angelic wings]], and the second is [[spoiler: a raptor with Barkley poorly photoshopped as his head.]] [[DontExplainTheJoke This is part of the joke.]]

* WordOfGod: On a Website/SomethingAwful thread for a LetsPlay of this game, Chef Boyardee himself made [[http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3374851&userid=126391 a post]], revealing the following:
** The original idea came from seeing the name "Barkley, Shut Up and Jam" and thinking putting "Gaiden" at the end would sound really cool. He's never actually played the game.
** Exactly two Pump Rants weren't written by him. One was by a guy who played the demo and [[PoesLaw thought the rants were serious]]. The other was written by a friend of his who took almost all of it from a post on SA. (Boyardee did not know of SA at the time).
** The idea of the rants being from Truck Pumps came from one of the other programmers having once gone by the name of "Turkpimp". A running gag in some games they made involved him, and over time it devolved into "Truck Pump".
** The poem sidequest stemmed from an experience where a rather wretched girl cried after being told by Chef Boyardee that he wouldn't take her to the prom.
** The idea of Zalatar the turkey came from a fake story he posted on a UsefulNotes/FurryFandom website about having been a punchbag for bullies and finding his true calling by being the Turkey in a thanksgiving day parade.
** The hobo Barkley can talk to in Proto Neo New York is [[AuthorAvatar based off a man who co-created]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEEyOdVsdsQ this game]].

* Michael Jordan is one of the primary villains, and his sprite is based on that of [[NamesTheSame Michael]] Jackson from the game "Moonwalker".
