Attachment It was originally intended for Kitana to appear as a fighter. Her color palette was swapped to yellow and thus created Tanya. While Kitana's model and textures were removed from the Playstation release, leaving only her moveset in the code, she is still fully functional in the N64 and PC releases, and can be accessed with a GameShark code or patch.

In South Korea, only Blue Rescue Team was released, meaning that a Korean-language version of Red Rescue Team does not exist. This is due to the Nintendo DS being the first console to be launched by Korean Nintendo Central. There are no official Korean games for the Game Boy Advance at all.

Attachment Although the game's localization was handled by Funimation instead of 4kids, Mihawk was still edited to remove Christian symbols. The arms of his cross necklace were removed, leaving it an "I" shape, and the arms of his sword were shortened to reduce its resemblance to a cross.

In the initial Japanese release, getting hit in any form other than small Mario would revert Mario back to his small form. This was changed in the western release so that getting hit as Fire Mario or any of the suit power-ups reverted Mario back to Super Mario. This was carried on in every platformer Mario game released after Super Mario Bros. 3, with the exception of the original SNES release of Super Mario World.

Attachment The German version of Half-Life was censored to avoid a USK 18 rating. All the human soldiers were replaced with robots, and when a scientist or security guard is shot they just sit on the ground. Blood splatters from humans were colored yellow, although the blood textures on the environment were not changed, and the aliens still have red blood. Gina's, Gordon's, and the scientist's models were replaced with a helmeted version of Gordon's model to make them look less human.

There are several extra music tracks that only play under unusual circumstances, and only in certain levels. What causes them to play is as of yet unknown. The European release added six more such tracks, which seem to play randomly after spending an extended period of time in levels that have already been completed.

The first of the two Outbreak games could not be played online in Europe despite online multiplayer being the main point of the game. This was due to technical difficulties with having to work with multiple languages and different service providers. The European release was first delayed in hopes of overcoming these problems, but it was eventually decided to introduce CPU-controlled characters instead. However, the work done during this period enabled them to provide online multiplayer for the European release of File #2.

Terra's name in the Japanese version is "Tina". Her name was changed because most of the playtesters hated it, and because it was a common name in the US. Because the game allows the player to rename the characters, and the player might name one of them after themselves, the localization team wanted to avoid using common western names for any of the characters.

Gau's name is a pun. The word "gao" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for an animal's growl or roar. The joke was that Gau would "roar" at the party when they asked him his name, unless the player had decided to change Gau's name.

This joke was lost in the English translation: Gau would always respond to the party's inquiry with a "roar", no matter what his name was set as.
