Trivia[]

An ellipsis are three periods (...) that indicate an unfinished thought or a long pause.

The mission Scribblequest on 3DS functions differently than its counterpart on other platforms, and has numerous noteworthy things about it.
- The mission is started interacting with a shopkeeper instead of a shield, rapier, and staff
- The mission is structured differently from all other starite missions in the game, giving the player multiple NPCs to help in any order they choose.
  - Scribblequest's unique setup is very similar to the mission Yo! Two Hot Dogs! found in the PC version's unused stadium level, except that all of the NPCs need to be helped.
- With the game choosing 5 out of 27 possible adventurers, this mission is the most heavily randomized one in the game by a long shot, with 9,687,600 possible combinations of adventurers. To put that in perspective, the second most randomized mission is Finicky Patrons found in the Virgule Gallery, with only 81 possible combinations.
- Halflings in the mission will accept rings as equipment and turn invisible upon obtaining them, which is a reference to The Lord of the Rings.
The non-3DS Scribblequest crashes all versions of the game if the player gives the player the rouge a Death Ray, due to the ray killing the dragon earlier than the game expects. On the PC release of the game, a Cap Gun also achieves the same result.
- Notably the game doesn't crash when the dragon dies, but instead crashes after the warlock's meteor spell. This is when the dragon normally does it's fire breath attack, meaning the game crashes because it's attempting to play an animation on an object that no longer exists.
The dart trap used in Dodging Darts! can apply a bunch of adjectives, including skinny, itchy, transparent, purple, green, decapitated, large, weightless, and blue dotted.
The Shard Red Thumb! may be a reference to the play and movie Little Shop of Horrors.
