For the English translation of the game, Punchinello was originally going to be called "James Bomb", parodying the fictional British spy James Bond. The idea was disapproved by management, but the character's self introduction parodying James Bond made it into the final product, just with a different name ("Bomb... James Bomb" to "Nello... PUNCHINELLO!").
