* DevelopmentGag: In-game, the SCUMM Bar is replaced by the Lua Bar after a hostile takeover, named after the language used in coding the game.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Until June 2018, this was the only ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'' game that still lacked a modern re-release on digital distribution platforms like Platform/{{Steam}} and [[Website/GOGDotCom GOG.com]]. As of June 2018, it is available on GOG, and was later released on Steam.
* TheOtherDarrin: Once played by the very British Alexandra Boyd, Elaine is now played by the very American Charity James.
* UrbanLegendOfZelda: For a long time on the internet it has been rumored that when Guybrush has to go underwater on Lucre Island he can drown if he stays underwater for 10 minutes twice. This is actually not true. No matter how many times the player stays underwater, after 10 minutes Guybrush will only say "I'd better return to the surface," and leave the underwater area.[[note]](Though perhaps as a nod to this rumor, ''VideoGame/ReturnToMonkeyIsland'' has a NonStandardGameOver if Guybrush stays underwater for too long ''three'' times)[[/note]]
