Trivia
- In the PAL and non-Greatest Hits versions of the game, this realm's theme music plays in Enchanted Towers' sub-levels.
- When viewing the portal in Midnight Mountain, the bottom part of the background is blue, but when entering the portal, and in the realm itself, it is green, like the acid in the realm.
- Also, it is possible to perform a proxy jump on the portal itself, due to its sharp angles into the ground. If done correctly, Spyro is either thrown insanely high up, or off the cliff.
- One of the rats, Tara, is an obvious parody of Lara Croft, with a similar name, hairstyle, outfit and large assets.
- After reaching her, Tara complains about "pressing switches and shoving boxes", two staples of the Tomb Raider franchise.
- Because of this, many fans dub her Tara Kroft.
- Her boyfriend on the other hand, Gus, resembles the Gemcutters of Glimmer.
- Another PlayStation character reference exists in the atlas page for this level. The eggs for Sheila's sub-level are titled Krash Kangaroo I and Krash Kangaroo II; a reference to Crash Bandicoot.
- The sub-level itself is a side-scroller, and Sheila will say to Spyro, "You just long the simple old-fashioned pleasures of yesteryear..." . This is a homage to most 8-bit and 16-bit games released in the 80's and 90's that were side-scrollers.
- Even if Sheila hasn't been rescued, the wall locking Spyro out of her sub-level is hidden below the acid fall near the bridge, allowing him to enter it.
- After paying Moneybags 800 gems to reveal the "password" to the locked door, it is revealed to be Gullible. This is ironic, considering that Moneybags has always opened or activated everything seemingly with the simple push of a button, and only charges Spyro in order to fool him to think that there's a "special" way to do these tasks.
- In fact, when speaking to him again, he says that there was no password, as he was standing next to the switch. He then adds, "what are you gonna do, sue me?"
- If the Egg for Sale egg in Midnight Mountain is obtained before reaching this realm, he will not appear, and the door will simply be open.
- Hunter's sub-level is similar to various things from Aquaria Towers, such as the Robot Sharks, Hunter's outfit and Mantaray, and even its skill point.
- The Firebreathers use the same concept as that of the Electro Gnorcs from Beast Makers, except using fire instead of electricity. Template:S3
