* FanNickname: Coily is sometimes known as Carrot Ends (alternately spelled Carrot Ens) because the ends of him look like two pink carrots rather than the head and tail of a snake and the noise he makes sounds like "carrot ends, carrot ends..." in the Atari 2600 version.

* DummiedOut: None of the UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum ports had the safe-to-touch [=NPCs=], as it would not have been feasible to colour them green.[[note]]It might have been possible, but only by precise interrupt-driven attribute switching in sync with the [=TV=] scan, which would probably have slowed down the game too much.[[/note]]. With the exception of ''Pogo'', most of them did not have Ugg or Wrong-Way either.
