* In ''Pikmin 2'', the Empress Bulblax's specific epithet, ''matriarcha'', indicates that it is considered a different species from its offspring, the Bulborb Larvae (''bambinii''), which is a biological impossibility. ''Pikmin 4'' corrects this by updating the specific epithets of both the Empress Bulblax and the Bulborb Larvae to that of the Bulborb (''kageyamii''), establishing that they are all different forms of the same species.

*The Japanese Louie's notes mentions cooking the ovaries of the creature instead of its liver. This was also the case for the prototype version of ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} English script.{{cite web|http://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script/Louie%27s_Notes#Empress_Bulblax|Pikmin 2/Early English Script/Louie's Notes|The Cutting Room Floor}}

*In ''Pikmin 2'', the Empress Bulblax bizarrely does not appear to have a [[soul]]; when defeated, one does not rise from its corpse. While there exist other enemies that similarly don't have souls, they explicitly are only incapacitated when defeated, unlike the Empress Bulblax, which is clearly dead. This oddity is shared with the [[Toady Bloyster]] (also only exhibiting this anomaly in ''Pikmin 2''), [[Ranging Bloyster]], and [[Titan Dweevil]], along with all members of the [[arachnorb family]] regardless of game.
