Trivia / Reader Rabbit

• Direct to Video:
  • An animated sing-along videotape that was included with a 1999 re-release of Reader Rabbit Kindergarten.
  • And then there's the live action/animated "Read Now!" series, which was hosted by Sam and Mat and features several minor characters from the games.
• Dueling Games: The late 1990s titles competed against the Jump Start titles.
• Missing Episode: Reader Rabbit and Friends: Let's Start Learning has not had reissues like the other title in the series. This is probably because the series was in a transitional phase when it was made, Mat was introduced while Reader still retained his older early 90s look. However, the episode is important as it shows the origin of Wonder Pony (a character that spans into both Preschool and Kindergarten).
• Urban Legend of Zelda: Edutainment games are not immune. 2nd Grade had a few mentions of a "secret chamber" that was only accessible if you achieved the rank of Dragon Fire. Apart from Sir Drayson mentioning it once you actually reach that rank, though, nothing is ever mentioned of it. There is a door in the dungeon that is labeled "Secret Chamber", but it is impossible to go back down there once you reach the third tower, and it's also impossible to reach Dragon Fire before hitting the third tower even with a perfect score on everything. Several rumors surfaced as to what this chamber actually was, but Dummied Out dialog seems to indicate it was a concept scrapped very late in development.
