* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Alex is afraid of the siren that comes from the Tennis Machine after beating it for some reason. [[Downplayed This doesn't stop him from coaching or playing tennis, though.]]

* {{Expy}}: Of Ella from [[Characters/MarioGolf Mario Golf: Advance Tour.]] They have the same outfit, but the differences are that they have different hairstyles, different colored hair (Ella's is orange/ginger, Ace's is brown), and Ella's shoes are brown, while Ace's are pink. However, their personality are arguably the opposite of one another.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Unlike the other human characters, who have relatively normal skin colors, Alex has red skin in the original game. {{Justified}}, as this seems to be from palette limitations on Game Boy Color.
