Trivia[]
- Some copies of Mr. Bump, Mr. Tickle, Mr. Nosey, Mr. Small, Mr. Bounce, Mr. Snow, Mr. Happy and Mr. Chatterbox started with instrumental versions of their theme songs on both sides, and ended with sing along karaoke instrumental versions of their theme songs on the second sides of the cassettes. It wasn't until 1994 that the Mr. Men cassette theme was included on later versions of them.
- Early versions of Mr. Greedy's tape lack the sing along version of his theme song on side 2.
- Early versions of Mr. Nosey's tape have the full version of his theme song on both sides of the tape.
- Early editions of Mr. Bump's cassette depicted him with three bandages around his head and his middle, but later editions with the CYP branding on it removed the topmost bandage from his head.
- Most cassettes were coloured to match the colours of the characters, i.e. blue for Mr. Grumpy, red for Mr. Noisy, Green for Mr. Clumsy, and yellow for Mr. Happy and Little Miss Trouble (the latter with red writing on it). However, there were some exceptions:
- Mr. Grumble and Little Miss Tiny's cassettes were coloured white.
- Some versions of the Mr. Men cassettes were clear, such as Mr. Chatterbox and Mr. Snow for example.
- The Little Miss cassettes have missing numbers in the catalogue: LM7, LM9, LM10 and LM11. These missing characters that were considered for release on cassette format include Little Miss Chatterbox, Little Miss Twins, Little Miss Fun and Little Miss Brainy.
