*In the anime, the Brooch was notably more of a necklace and was less rounded like it would be in later appearances.
*The brooch in ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!'' played a similar role to [[Princess Daisy (film)|Princess Daisy]]'s [[meteorite piece|meteorite necklace]] in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' movie, namely in that it was responsible for allowing access to the Mushroom Kingdom/[[Dinohattan]] from another realm and it being important for Peach/Daisy.
*In the anime, Princess Peach wore another piece of jewelry similar to the Brooch while she was captured by King Koopa. This is similar to its appearance in the games, although it has more of an oval shape. This may also be an animation error.

*When Princess Toadstool's belongings fall off her person in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', it isn't reflected in her in-game sprite. This could be due to space constraints, but it is also possible that the things she dropped was her wedding gear, meaning that it may not be the same Brooch she always wears.
