*If Lucas attacks the Masked Man during the final battle after [[Flint]] jumps in front of PK Love Ω, Hinawa will say: "Lucas... Stop fighting.". Also, in the second phase of the final battle, if Lucas manages to attack, a message appears after saying: "Lucas... Felt heartbroken." And if he continues attacking, a message appears saying: "Lucas started to cry." | *If Lucas attacks the Masked Man during the final battle after [[Flint]] jumps in front of PK Love Ω, Hinawa will say: "Lucas...

*There is an inconsistency concerning the Masked Man's battle sprites. In his second battle sprite his arm cannon is missing, and he is wearing gloves in both battle sprites, which are absent from his Overworld sprite. | *There is an inconsistency concerning the Masked Man's battle sprites.

*The Masked Man's design partially resembles [https://megamanwiki.com/wiki/Mega_Man_(Classic_era) Mega Man] from the aptly-titled series of games, particularly his mask shape and large arm cannon that resembles the Mega Buster. | *The Masked Man's design partially resembles [https://megamanwiki.com/wiki/Mega_Man_(Classic_era) Mega Man] from the aptly-titled series of games, particularly his mask shape and large arm cannon that resembles the Mega Buster. | ||
*The Masked Man has several unused overworld animations, including him attacking with his arm cannon and a seemingly related set of animations of him exploding, being carried and then being operated on. <ref>https://tcrf.net/Mother_3/Unused_Graphics/Character_Sprites</ref> | |||
*Like many bosses from Mother 3, the Masked Man has data for a "back sprite" in his first fight, although it's actually a sprite of him unmasked, similar to his second battle sprite. He has a different pose than said sprite, though, and is still wielding an arm cannon. <ref>https://tcrf.net/Mother_3/Unused_Graphics</ref> | |||
**This may be related to how, in the scrapped animation of him being operated on, his entire right arm is replaced by some sort of metal, meaning at one point he might have had his right arm completely replaced. | |||
**Additionally, he has stats for being approached for behind, even though it's normally impossible. <ref>https://tcrf.net/Mother_3/Oddities</ref> | |||
*In the first fight against him, the Masked Man has the action " burst into laughter!" in his pool of attacks, but is programmed to never use it. | |||
