In the Game Boy Advance version of the game, dying enough times during the intro level to get a game over will result in the game's save file displaying "World 0." This is the only time this icon is accessible in the game, and in any version of the game, as the Super Nintendo original gave you infinite lives to beat the tutorial level.

Attachment The Japanese, European and Australian versions of the game came packaged with an instructional DVD manual, explaining the basic controls, as well as showing advanced play. It was made because Super Mario Galaxy 2 would be more challenging than its predecessor. It's unknown why a DVD was never packaged for the American release.

Attachment Subtle changes were made between the Japanese and North American box arts. The most notable of these changes (besides the title and ESRB ratings) was the removal of Shotzo from the cover. This may have been done for censorship reasons, as the Shotzo on the Japanese cover is depicted shooting at the viewer. The European box art is left unchanged, however.

Attachment The name "Viola" (the same name as the Santalune City Gym leader) is not allowed as a player or Pokémon's name. This is likely because "viol" translates into "rape" in French.

Animal Crossing for the GameCube is a direct port of the Japanese-only Nintendo 64 Dōbutsu no Mori (Animal Forest) so it takes up very little space on the GameCube disc. The entire game is loaded into the GameCube's RAM, and as a result, after the player enters their town they can remove the game disc from the GameCube and continue to play the game normally.

Kirby's Dream Land

The reason why Kirby is colored white in the American cover for Kirby's Dream Land is because Nintendo of Japan were debating whether Kirby's color should be pink or yellow. The game's creator Masahiro Sakurai wanted pink, but Shigeru Miyamoto thought yellow would be better; Sakurai eventually won the debate. However, Nintendo of America didn't know if Kirby was pink or yellow at the time of making the box art, so they decided to play it safe and make Kirby white like he appears in the game.

A Dreamcast light gun was never released in the USA until Mad Catz developed the Dream Blaster, which was reminiscent of the type 2 phaser found in Star trek. Sega did produce their own official light gun, but it wasn't sold in the United States, possibly because Sega didn't want its name on a gun in light of recent school shootings (the Columbine High School massacre).

In the GameCube version, taking out a bomb but not kicking it away will result in Joe whistling the beginning of the Super Mario Bros. theme. Jumping and performing the same action results in Joe whistling another part of the song. For copyright reasons, this does not happen in any other version of the game.

Attachment The PlayStation 2 was designed with the ability to update its internal software by installing updates onto a memory card. Sony did not make much use of the feature, and it was eventually removed from later models. However, hackers eventually discovered the feature, and were able to use it to run homebrew software on the PlayStation 2.
