Trivia[]
- The level is named after the Forbidden City, which is the imperial palace complex in the center of the Imperial City in Beijing, China.
- The phrase "young grasshopper" in the level description is a reference to the 1972 TV series Kung Fu.
- Since then, the term has become part of pop culture and is typically used to refer to a novice, particularly in martial arts or mentor-apprentice contexts.
- The Golden Buddha used in the mission Hungry Buddha is simply part of the background, and isn't a real object. The mission is actually managed by a small invisible object placed in front of the statue.
