In 1996, Masato Kato and several other members of the ''Chrono Trigger'' staff worked on a minor project for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] [[Satellaview]] extension, titled ''[[Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki]]''. Initially, the game was intended to be a short, original text-based adventure developed in three months with almost no planning. Nevertheless, by the end of the development, Masato Kato had connected the game's plot and characters to ''Chrono Trigger'', turning it into a side story. Since the platform of the game was not mainstream, the connections were however left blurred on purpose and were not advertised on the game's release.<ref name="GamePro">{{cite web |title=Chrono Cross — GamePro.com Interview, Fan Questions |url=http://www.gamepro.com/article/features/6818/chrono-cross-gamepro-com-interview-fan-questions/ |work=GamePro |publisher=IDG Entertainment |accessdate=2007-05-19 |date=2000-11-24}}</ref> | In 1996, Masato Kato and several other members of the ''Chrono Trigger'' staff worked on a minor project for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] [[Satellaview]] extension, titled ''[[Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki]]''.

Additionally, three ''Chrono Trigger''-related applications were released the same year for the Super Famicom [[Satellaview]] extension. ''Chrono Trigger'' inspired several sequels and expansion packs or add-ons; the first were three titles released for the [[Satellaview]] in 1995. They included ''Chrono Trigger: Jet Bike Special'', a racing game based on a [[minigame]] from the original; ''Chrono Trigger: Character Library'', featuring profiles on characters and monsters from the game; and ''Chrono Trigger: Music Library'', a collection of music from the game's soundtrack. The contents of ''Character Library'' and ''Music Library'' were later included as extras in the PlayStation re-release of ''Chrono Trigger''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rpgplanet.com/chrono/og_index.shtml|title=Other Games and Anime|last=Whiteman|first=Daniel|publisher=GameSpy|accessdate=2009-06-04}}</ref> | Additionally, three ''Chrono Trigger''-related applications were released the same year for the Super Famicom [[Satellaview]] extension.
