Trivia

 * The Bearded Man represents Mario from the Mario series of Video Games.
 * Despite the idea the Bearded Man completed 99% of the game, it shows that he in fact missed many coins, also some levels appear to be scalable only by Turner and enemy 585 which may hint that he (Bearded Man) has many unseen abilities.
 * The Bearded Man has made few appearances since his initial game, they are mostly cameos, he is shown in the Ice Temple Skin (in an Indiana Jones type parody), the Nitrome 2.0 Skin (in a Mario Kart spoof), and in a Nitrome Facebook picture he is seen being kissed on the cheek by the princess
 * The guard dog might be a Chihuahua because of the small body and the ears.
