Trivia

• In the GOLF demo up until after Peppino's Xmas Break, the background would get a wavy effect and start to flash red, with the effect getting worse and worse as the timer went lower. There would also be a motion blur-like effect.
• In the GOLF demo and Patreon builds based on it, the background would change to a much more creepy and demonic version, though this does happen for some levels in the final game.
• Originally, When the time ran out, the player's points would start to drain much more quickly, with the points being drained able to be seen visibly, and their face sprite and idle/walk/jump states would turn into the 1 HP animations from older demos (where pizza slices were used as health pickups). The result when the points were drained varies from demo to demo - in the December/November patreon builds, both players would be able to escape with no game overs or punishment for finishing with 0 points except for a D rank. In the January patron build(s), when the players' points are completely drained, a game over screen plays, and sends them back to the menu. This was later changed possibly due to being too similar to the point draining mechanics in the Wario Land series escape sequences.
