- Originally a puzzle was to be set inside Club 41, but was dropped because of WiiWare's 40 megabyte download restrictions. Hence the name Club 41 -- the club puzzle would have pushed the size over to 41 megabytes.

- Keep examining the rowboat on Flotsam Island, and the description of it will change.
- Guybrush asks D'Oro if he can call him "D'Oro the Explorer," a reference to the Nickelodeon cartoon, Dora the Explorer.

Show the pirate hunter flier to Nipperkin, and he will say Morgan LeFlay has been described as both

- Read all the book titles in the International House of Mojo, and some of the titles will be ones suggested by Telltale forum users.
- When trying to enter the House of Mojo, Guybrush will say "i've heard from a reliable source that the 'BIRD' is the word." This is a reference to the Trashmen song, "Surfin' Bird."
- Look at skull in the House of Mojo and Guybrush will ask if it's Murray.
- The U-Tube is, of course, a reference to YouTube.
- Examine the Flotsam jail, and Guybrush will compare it to the Melee Island jail.
