* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: A common misnomer for the series' protagonist was "[=CaptainVideo=]", which appeared even on gaming news articles. This name was used for the [=CommanderVideo=] look-alike that was unlockable in ''Runner2'', as a nod to the mistake.

** [=CaptainVideo=]'s design in ''Runner2'' is based on [[http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_super/4/47967/1973814-commander.jpg [=CommanderVideo=]'s planned look for the spinoff]], which was scrapped initially due to rendering problems.
** In a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z2czRrz5QE "Brainstorming" video originally on the ''Runner2'' development blog]], one of the developers drew a picture of [=CommanderVideo=] on a turkey, and, when the rest of the developers were confused, called it a "fucking turkey suit". Come the actual game, and the last costume you can get is a turkey beak and tail for [=CommanderVideo=], called the "F***ing Turkey Suit".

* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: In at least one blog post for ''Runner2'', the devs challenged the readers to comment possible level titles for the game. With the blog being gone, it's unknown which ones in the final game were fan-submitted.

How is that lying? The quote specifically said that all those made up words would appear in the game, and then they did.


* LyingCreator: When ''RUNNER'' was in development, the developers [[http://www.destructoid.com/bit-trip-4-is-called-bit-trip-runner-has-non-trotski-158673.phtml were interviewed]], and mentioned a bunch of made-up words that wouldn't be in the game. They all ended up being names of levels in the game.
--> "We don't have a Mackle Fussybuck, but we do have: Jabol Smabbler, Junior Melchkin, Flyss Whizzle, [[EarlyBirdCameo Mingrawn Timbletot]], Leftwise Gestersmek (and a Rightwise one to boot), Hairy Knorkwhisp, and our favorite... The Non Trotski. Basically, we're makin' this shit up."
