Did you know

• The 'secret of Monkey island' has been alluded to throughout the series since the first game, The Secret of Monkey Island (1990), but for all intents and purposes, it has never been disclosed. Although the Giant Mecha Monkey in the third act of the game is revealed as "The Real Secret of Monkey Island", it should be noted that this revelation was conceived by Sean Clark and Michael Stemmle, and it was not what series creator Ron Gilbert had in mind. Gilbert had planned his original idea as a trilogy because it was too big for one game, with the intention to reveal the secret in the third game. However, he had left the company after finishing Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1991) and never told anyone what the true secret was. He has been quoted as saying that he plans to buy back the rights to the franchise to make another game, in which he fully intends to reveal the true secret.

• Ozzie Mandril references Marvin the Martian when he says, "Where's the kaboom? There's supposed to be a Caribbean-shattering kaboom."

• The character of Judge Tripps is named after longtime LucasArts employee Jo Ashburn, whose nickname is Capt. Tripps.
