Trivia

• While only having participated in MaG48HMML, TRICKSTERhat has several unfinished entries for other MaGMML titles, including unfinished levels for Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero, the upcoming Make a Good Mega Man Level 3's Neo Pit of Pits, as well as a level to apply for judge in MaGMML3. Unfortunately there is no footage or screenshots of these levels.

• They have went through several characters to portray themselves, such as Tengu Man and MagicMan.EXE from the Mega Man series, A Kirby with Ice Cream and a Hat, and an edited Mega Man Infamous Intent sprite, which has been repurposed into Zen, their former sona and OC.

• Zen, their character has a custom costume for both MaG48HMML and Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered.

• When representing themselves, they often use the same hat, to the point that it is theorized they may be a hat with robot arms. (This is a joke. Talking hats with robot arms don't exist... unfortunately.)
