Trivia

From the very beginning of the story to the end of the finale, the duration of this story lasted exactly 3 years, 7 months, and 9 days.

The island that the players arrive at to take the final quiz of the game is actually the same island in which the players arrived at in the beginning of the game.

The final mission of the season was originally going to take place in Corona Mountain and would have the final players dangerously traversing along the course in order to retrieve keys to escape the arena. However, this was scrapped as Sirena Beach was chosen as the last location

The 5 Become 1 Mission went through the most brainstorming out of all missions: I had been collecting info about it and formulating it in my head for more than a year in advance. In fact, the scrapwork paper in the picture clues was a genuine piece of scrapwork, minus last additions.

The title of this season, The Mole: Saboteur's Island, was actually spotted in the previous season in Traitor Aboard. Before the finale was revealed, it could be seen at the bottom of the "Poll" chapter, a foreshadowing of its upcoming.

The name of Island Tarasp, the island in the Island Bash mission, was based on Castle Tarasp, a location in the real Mole US 2 season.

The Mole of this season went through different character selections. At first, it was going to be Klepto, the bird from Super Mario 64. Another option was for Diddy to be the Mole, until I decided with Yoshi, Mario's best pal.

The final 3 players of the game also went through various changes: originally, Luvbi, Rosalina, and Yoshi were chosen as the last three of the season. Rosalina was placed by Vivian in the second permutation, and after the first episode, I replaced Luvbi's spot in the final with Wario, who was originally only going to make it less than halfway into the game.

The way Toadette was introduced Episode 7 was a similar play description to how she had gotten off the helicopter in Season 1, as well as stepped off the train in the end of the first season.

The date on Yoshi's milk carton in the final Hotel mission, 10-18-08, was a reference to the date that this story was first published.

The book that was crucial in the game that Wario discovered in the final mission, Greatest Expectations, was a homage to the first season in where it was both a book owned by Toadette and a clue.

The folder in Yoshi's room, How To Build A Hydro Pipe To A Designated Place, is actually a subtle reference to my first story ever, The Next Death Will Come. A book with this title was spotted in the story, and ironically for Yoshi, the book was used in order to exterminate his character

Think you've seen Yoshi before? Yoshi was actually seen in the first season of The Mole: Traitor Aboard. During the players' final mission, Luigi, Toadette, and Blooper enter a task where they have to compete in cutting wood. A Yoshi is their opponent, and at one point, he even holds up the figurine of a Monty Mole and states, "I am the Mole". Perhaps Yoshi's other talent besides being a waiter was being a woodcutter as well.


Wow, that's a lot more trivia than I though! Hopefully these last hidden things surprised you about this season ;)
