Trivia[]
- Unlike most of the games being developed by Humongous Entertainment, this is the first one to have the audio playing at a sample rate of 22,000 Hz (22 KHz). The audio of Pajama Sam: Life Is Rough When You Lose Your Stuff! and Putt-Putt: Pep's Birthday Surprise has the same frequency.
- The majority of the included activities are also included in Putt-Putt & Fatty Bear's Activity Pack, albeit with different graphics and sound. Only Rockpile and 4 Cheese Pizza are entirely unique to this release.
- This is the last Pajama Sam game to have the voice talent of Pamela Segall.
- The game was released after Atari's takeover.
- In single-player mode, the characters are the player's opponents, and in two-player mode, they are the hosts.
- In single-player mode of Concentrate!, Florette says, "We take turns...", but in two-player mode, she says, "Players take turns..." about flipping tiles until there is a match.
- On the hard level of 4 Cheese Pizza, Sam has an extra line of dialogue which is, "Watch out for the mouse.".
- On the hard level of Concentrate!, the number of card rows is seven with eight being the number of card columns.
- In Fans and Teleporters, the fans are active on all three levels, the tubes are active on the last two levels, and the teleporters are active on the last level.
- Happy Fun Squares contains a picture of Florette on the easy level, a picture of Darkness, the host and opponent on the medium level, and a picture of Sam on the hard level.
- In single-player mode, the hosts say, "You...", but in two-player mode, they say, "Player 1..." about who goes first and who goes next.
