Attachment "Looker", a character who hides his real name, says that he is working to stop Team Galactic from ripping reality into pieces and creating a new world to replace our own. He wears a brown coat and a suit, and has very pointy hair. He seems very similar to "The Doctor" from "Doctor Who", who also goes around stopping galactic cataclysmic events, and never reveals his actual name. In addition, "Looker" physically resembles the tenth Doctor portrayed by David Tennant.

Attachment The Japanese version of Majora's Mask contained three save slots as opposed to the two that the American release saw. However, in the Japanese version, the owl saving feature did not exist, making the Song of Time the only way to save. This proved to be annoying and owl saving was added to the American release, at the cost of one save slot.

Collection: Rock Band
▲

▼
When Harmonix was secretly developing the Rock Band Network (a network that allows artists to make their music playable in Rock Band games), they gave it the unofficial code name "Rock Band: Nickelback" to avoid attracting attention, naming it after the post-grunge band of the same name. They thought adding "Nickelback" to the title would deflect any and all curiosity due to the extreme negative reception and disinterest to their music on the Internet, ensuring it wouldn't be leaked.

Attachment The "Solar Gun" can be obtained by getting all Boss Dolls after defeating the FROGS and BB Beast forms without using lethal weapons. The gun is a direct reference to the Hideo Kojima-produced game Lunar Knights, the fourth game in his Boktai series.

The gun itself is based on Aaron's "Knight" model, and requires the user to charge shots using sunlight, as you would in all Boktai games.
