* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A ''Pilotwings'' game was planned for the [[Platform/NintendoGameCube GameCube]] in 2003, and was to be produced by Factor 5 of ''VideoGame/RogueSquadron'' fame. Instead, the game was delayed, eventually resumed development on the Platform/{{Wii}}, but Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto scrapped it because of concerns that it wasn't good enough. Whether that game will ever be released remains to be seen.
* WordOfSaintPaul: [[https://www.oldschoolgamermagazine.com/mario-mania-game-cameos-for-the-fans-complete-collection-pilotwings-64/ According to]] ''Magazine/NintendoPower'', the resemblance between Lark in ''64'' and their {{mascot}} Nester is not coincidental -- Lark ''is'' Nester, with "Lark" merely being a nickname. This same piece of trivia likewise raises the possibility that the other pilots (all of whom have avian ThemeNaming like Lark) [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname have also adopted code names]].
