When examining the bookcase in Hawke's mansion, Hawke will mention that Varric recommended the book "The Pursuit of Knowledge" by Brother Genitivi. Brother Genitivi was a character in Dragon Age: Origins. He was a Chantry scholar who had spent his life studying the Sacred Urn which is said to hold Andraste's ashes. After meeting and saving Brother Genitivi in the Haven Chantry, the player could either decide to have him travel with you through the mountains outside the Village of Haven to find the ashes, which were needed to heal the Arl of Redcliffe, or to send him back to Denerim.

There are actually numerous differences between the NTSC and PAL versions of Super Smash Bros. Melee. Many characters and their moves were tweaked to rebalance the game.

The language setting in the PAL version can be switched between English, French, German, Spanish and Italian, with the French and German settings having new voice overs for character name changes during character selection. In order to fit these additional languages on the disc, the Japanese language option and the Special Movie were removed.

Attachment The Famicom's final design incorporated this red color because of an order from Hiroshi Yamauchi, the president of Nintendo at the time. Yamuchi often wore a scarf of a similar color and decided to include this favorite of his in the system as well.

It should also be noted that at the time of manufacturing, red and white plastics were the cheapest color of plastic to produce.

The achievement name "Paradise Found" is a parody of the 17th Century poem "Paradise Lost" by John Milton. When Sonic achieves a Good Future in any of the zones (via destroying the Metal Sonic projectors and roboticizers), he is essentially "founding" a paradise for the future of that zone.

Attachment There's an extra special stage that can be accessed through the sound test menu by setting all the 3 selections to 07. According to a former Sega Europe QA Tester, an extra Time Stone was to be collectible here. When collected in addition to the previous Time Stones, "S" TV monitors would appear where the ring TVs were previously located. When broken, Sonic would morph into a lesser version of Super Sonic, which would simply grant invincibility and greater speed. Graphics would not change.
