Trivia

 * Even though there are many Kremlings and other enemies in the Factory, none of them seem to be actually working.
 * It is possible the factory is called "Krem Co.", as that name appears on a clock in the room across from the starting point.
 * According to the toy sales board on the topmost floor, Krem Co.'s sales were high at one point, which indicated they were popular.
