Originally, the translated script of the DS version of IV was simply going to copy and paste the English script of the Game Boy Advance version with some alterations. Translator Tom Slattery, however, was a huge fan of the original game and offered to translate the entire game from scratch, making it more accurate to the original Japanese text while also using some modern series terms (such as "Eidolons" for the summon monsters.)

Attachment According to Masahiro Sakurai, in the November 2014 issue of GameInformer, the reason why Super Smash Bros. was released on two different consoles was because he was a “freelance game designer,” and that having a unique version of the game makes it fun.

"The first reason is that I think both portables and home consoles have their own traits that make them fun. I've gone into that in previous interviews, so I'll omit the details here.

One big reason for this approach is because I'm a freelance game designer ... I'm always going to be the center of any Smash Bros. project, but since I don't have my own personal studio, the staff changes in and out with each project. Changing development studios like this also means that you can't build out from the know-how and in-house assets you've accumulated over time.

As a development environment, it's different from a publisher that can work on fighting games, shooters, and open-world titles all at once. For us, even if things look the same, it's all completely different, completely built from scratch. If we started with a console project then moved on to the portable platform, once one team finished up their work, we'd have to wait and hand everything over to another team."

Within the game's coding is a string under the name "PFLOYD" that maintains the integrity of the game's save files. This string appears in the English and Japanese ROMS under the offset 6F7A and needs to be present at AA00, AA40, and AA80 in RAM (along with two checksums) in order for save files to remain functional; if the string is not present in one of these RAM files, the corresponding save file will be wiped, even if the two checksums are cleared.

The name of the string, "PFLOYD", appears to be a reference to the British progressive rock band Pink Floyd, who was active from 1965 to 1996, disbanding just a year after Donkey Kong Land's release.

Despite most of Sonic CD's soundtrack being replaced for the game's American release, all of the past versions of the level themes remain unchanged from the Japanese/European originals. This is because unlike the rest of the game's soundtrack, in which each song is encoded in the Mixed Mode Compact Disc Digital Audio format (more commonly known as Redbook audio), the "past" themes are encoded using pulse-code modulation, making them much harder to switch out.

Jon Burton, founder of Traveler's Tale, hid glitches and crashes in games to pass Sega's certification process. Whenever theses glitches or crashes would happen in games like Sonic 3D, Toy Story and Mickey Mania, the player would be sent to a level select screen or a secret level. This explains why smacking a cartridge of Sonic 3D will sometimes trigger a level select screen.
