History Trivia / MagicalTarurutoKun

* CelebrityVoiceActor: Neyo Zakenja is voiced by well-known anime and tokusatsu singer, Creator/MitsukoHorie. [[note]] though she's had her fair share of voice acting roles before and since ''Taruruto'' [[/note]]

* ReferencedBy: Taru makes a cameo towards the end of the first episode of ''Manga/GoldenBoy'' as a part of the office assistant-esque UI that Kintaro builds.

** According to Creator/GameFreak's Ken Sugimori, the company was approached by Creator/{{Sega}} with a choice of a few projects for the Mega Drive, including a game starring a fast food chain’s character (presumably what would eventually become Creator/{{Treasure}}'s ''VideoGame/McDonaldsTreasureLandAdventure'', a ''VideoGame/PhantasyStar'' sequel, and a game based on ''Magical Taruruto-kun''. The rest is history after that, ''VideoGame/{{Pulseman}}'' would later use a similar (if not the same) engine, and it may be a coincidence that a few traits of the characters, including Taru's large and long tongue and Niruru's shape-shifting abilities were later be adapted into a few Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, such as Lickitung and Ditto.

* TroubledProduction: According to producer Hiromi Seki, the production of the anime was subcontracted to the Philippines which often put the series on a tight schedule because several circumstances, including delivery delays, airport closures. This also frequently led to episodes being skipped over in production, which resulted in altered or merged stories which could result in different endings.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: True to most licensed video games, most of the titles in this series haven't been made available since their original release. The only exceptions are the Shonen Jump Edition of the Famicom Mini which has ''Fantastic World!!'', and the Mega Drive 2 Mini, which has that version of the Creator/GameFreak game. Even then, these consoles are Japan-exclusives.

* FanTranslation: The Mega Drive game was translated by a group of fans in both English and French sometime in 2023, the latter language making use of Taru's credit as Taluluto.

* ThoseTwoActors: The anime adaptation marked the first time we'd see Creator/MinamiTakayama (Honmaru) and Creator/RyoHorikawa (Harako) voicing rival characters, and [[Manga/{{Yaiba}} it wouldn't be]] [[Manga/CaseClosed the last time either]].
