Bass's name is mispronounced throughout the game. In the game, his name is pronounced "bass" (like the fish), however his name is meant to be read as "base," since his and Treble's names come from the bass and treble clefs. This has lead to much confusion on how to pronounce his name.

The SNES version is missing the character of Guy. A later version of the game was released called Final Fight Guy, which replaced Cody with Guy and made up a new story to explain Cody's absence to the game. The game was sold in stores in Japan and was a rental only at Blockbuster in America.

Franchise: Sonic The Hedgehog

Attachment In 1993, Sonic the Hedgehog became the first video game character to appear as a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The balloon popped on it's one and only flight by being pushed into a lamp post by strong gusts of wind, hurting a kid and a police officer on it's descent. Because of this incident, the balloon was retired.

A second Sonic balloon based on his modern redesign was used between 2011 and 2013 to celebrate the series' 20th anniversary, and was brought back one more time in 2021 in accordance with the series' 30th anniversary.

The Guy Game

One of the girls who appeared topless in The Guy Game was 17 years old at the time of filming, making it illegal to sell in territories where the age of consent is 18. This was not known by Topheavy Studios or representatives scouting for girls during the 2003 spring break season in Texas, as she provided a fake ID card and signed a consent form before participating. Her real age did not come to light until four months after the game's release, when her brother purchased the game and told her she was in it, leading her to sue Topheavy Studios, Gathering of Developers (a subsidiary of Take Two Interactive which included Topheavy), Microsoft and Sony (whose consoles the game was released for).

She argued she was not informed that footage of her would be used in-game and on its promotional website, that she was not able to give consent at the time and that the developers misappropriated her likeness by failing to discover her age inaccuracies and releasing the game. Legal counsel for Topheavy argued that she entered and participated in the game willingly and that the fraudulent representations of her age made to the producers made it reasonable for them to have treated her as an adult. A Texas county judge granted a temporary injunction against manufacturing copies of the game until her voice, name and image were removed entirely, but the legal proceedings did not determine if Topheavy had produced child pornography in violation of Texas obscenity laws. The following year, Topheavy released a DVD version of the game with additional content not featured in the original game titled "The Guy Game: Game Over". They appeared to take the controversy in stride, stating on the game's store page:

"The rumors are true! The most controversial video game ever created - The Guy Game - is no longer available!"

Attachment During a cutscene where 'The Chaos' attempts to grab Lightning, there is a hidden message among the yellow lines as she disappears. The message says "Pray for Japan" which was not known because it was written in a different script (Etro Script, a 3rd type of language used in Final Fantasy XIII). This is most likely a reference to the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake in Japan.

In the audit menu of the arcade version, there is a useless row of text that says "ERMACS" (which stands for Error Macros) and is listed under "Reptile Battles." Because of this, players thought that Ermac was a hidden boss like Reptile. Ermac became a running joke for the developers, so much so that they even made him a real character for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, with his BIO saying he was hiding in the first Mortal Kombat.
