*The Key bears a striking resemblance to the keys commonly used the ''Mario ''franchise. This particular design bears resemblance to the keys in the non-Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', ''Super Mario World'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', and ''Yoshi's Island DS''.
*The Key bears a striking resemblance to the [[mariowiki:Key|keys]] in [[mariowiki:Super_Mario_Bros._2|''Super Mario Bros. 2'']], which were guarded by [[mariowiki:Phanto|Phanto]] masks, or the keys in [[mariowiki:Super_Mario_World|''Super Mario World'']], which opened [[mariowiki:Keyhole|keyholes]] leading to secret stages.
 
*Strangely, the description calls the Beady Long Legs a "Pikmin ''devouring'' spider!", even though they do not eat Pikmin.
*It is unknown why a key would emit interdimensional information.

Notes

Olimar's journal

This item came from the personal treasure hoard of a massive Pikmin-devouring spider. The whole cave was crawling with all kinds of fearsome creatures. I decided to name that eerie cave the Citadel of Spiders. The ship can't stand bugs... Whenever I ask it to store a specimen for salvage, it threatens to stage a mutiny.

Sales pitch

This shape... I have encountered it somewhere before... No, I must be mistaken... Yes, I am mistaken. Thoughts like these strike all who see this cabalistic form. You can feel its immense power!
