The two ammunition-based enemies in Super Mario World are Bullet Bills and Torpedo Teds. This would make their referred-to names 'Bill and Ted', a possible reference to the film "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure". Their Japanese names translate as "Killer" and "Torpedo" respectively, meaning this reference would have been made by the Nintendo of America localization team.

Attachment David Bowie's 1974 song (and album) 'Diamond Dogs' was a musical adaption of George Orwell's famous book '1984'.
Hideo Kojima is a known David Bowie fan and in the Metal Gear Solid 5 trailer, it is stated that Big Boss has been in a coma for 9 years; 'Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker' - which precedes the events of MGS5 - was set in November 1974, placing MGS5 in late 1983 or (more probably) 1984, the year of George Orwell's novel, with Big Boss shown to be part of a new squad known as 'Diamond Dogs', a direct reference to the album.

Attachment In the "True Katherine" ending, Spoiler:Erica Anderson is revealed to be a transgender woman, with the credits revealing that she was originally raised under the name Eric. She is additionally referred to by her birth name in the Japanese version's manual, which lists her sex as male. This treatment of her generated controversy in the years since the game's release on whether or not it negated the positive elements of her "flawed but realistic" characterization.

Catherine: Full Body further stoked controversy both in and out of Japan regarding the character. The game's marketing highlighted a scene where Spoiler:Vincent reacts to the sight of Erica's naked body with shock, which drew criticisms of invoking a transphobic trope where men are disturbed by the sight of a transgender woman's genitals. Additionally, the game itself includes an alternate ending in which Spoiler:Catherine goes back in time and starts dating Vincent in high school, with a time-skip showing Erica pre-transition. Although the ending heavily implies that she will still transition later on, many audiences interpreted it as advocating that transgender people continue presenting as their assigned gender at birth.

In Shadow's story, after you ignite the flames around the fountain in Soleanna City and receive the Sceptre Of Darkness, you'll receive a message from GUN HQ that will tell you where you have to go next. The dialogue in the message contains 2 takes from the voice actor, the first take being a failed attempt. It seems that it was accidentally left in the game.

The World 0-1, or Minus World glitch (in which Mario can visit a secret world before World 1, and entering the pipe at the end of it returns him to the beginning of the World), is fairly well known but there are actually two more worlds after it that can be accessed by hacking a flag pole into the level.

Level 0-2 is just another water level with a lot of unfinished level design and acts as one of Bowser's castles.

Level 0-3 is a land level with the flooring as a ceiling which you can break like normal blocks. This level also has enemies unlike 0-2 and ends just like a castle too.

Level 0-4 is a level that doesn't exist so the game just takes you to a black screen.

The Counterstrike expansion pack added secret missions to the game that were called "It Came From Red Alert". The missions feature giant ants as the enemy. You can unlock this game mode in the PC version by holding shift and clicking the speaker in the upper right corner of the title screen. The game mode is also present in the collected version Red Alert: Retaliation but in the console ports you had to unlock the missions by beating the game.

One of the running jokes in the game is that "Grabbed by the Ghoulies" did not do well commercially. The best way to see this is in Banjoland. In the trashcan from the Cloud Cuckooland part of the park, there are many unsold copies of "Grabbed by the Ghoulies."

There is a secret level that can be reached from the Asteroid Field in Level 3. Getting there requires destroying the second of two large asteroids and then flying straight into the bird that appears. Doing so results in being transported to "Out of this Dimension" where the background is warped, the enemies appear to be floating pieces of paper, and the boss is a giant slot machine. Once defeated by getting three 7s, the end credits roll and the player is stuck in this level until the game is reset.
