*It is possible that Grifty's tales are completely made up, given that the English word ''grift'' refers to someone who obtains money through frauds, swindles and several other hoaxes. However, this meaning is not present in other localizations.
*Grifty is at one point mentioned by [[Wonky]], who recommends the player to listen to one of his stories.
