Franchise: Dragon Ball
1
In March 9, 2011, Toei Animation publicly recognized that the music composer Kenji Yamamoto had committed plagiarism in many of his works. As a result, each of his music tracks featured in any Dragon Ball game was replaced in every re-realease starting with Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection.
Mario Kart 64
1
In the Wii Virtual Console version, the lightning power-up's visuals were changed to reduce the intensity of the flash. This was likely done to avoid causing seizures.
Mario Kart 8
1
On the Wii U box art, Mario and Peach are going in the opposite direction of the other racers on the game's box art. This may be an oversight by the developers, but it's also possible that the box art is showing the game's battle mode.
Worms
1
Wormsong '95 can only be heard if the original game disc is played as an audio CD in a CD player or the like. Despite essentially being the theme of the game, it cannot be heard during gameplay. However, the later versions (Reinforcements and United) added a Wormsong Instrumental Remix as the theme of the game, yet that version still lacked the lyrics.
Franchise: Pokémon
1
Arbok's hood pattern differs in each of the main regions of the Pokemon universe.
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
1
Most likely due to the criticisms of the long loading times in the first release, The Wrath of Cortex's Platinum/Greatest Hits re-release had shortened loading times.
Skies of Arcadia

1
The most common criticism for the Dreamcast version of the game was that there were too many random encounters. In the GameCube version the random encounters were scaled down to answer the problem.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

1
Attachment A version of the game was released to mobile phones in June 2008, however, it lacked the Mario characters. Because of this, it was simply called Sonic at the Olympic Games.
Pokémon Stadium
1
Attachment Nidoqueen's entry stance was altered in the international release as her Japanese stance showed her cupping her breasts.
Sonic Adventure
1
Attachment In the first Japanese release for the Dreamcast, a mechanical cowgirl billboard could be seen within Casinopolis. It would moan whenever the player touched it and was removed in international copies of the game for obvious reasons. This version however was also toned down from the Sonic Adventure Auto Demo prototype, where the girl was a fully fleshed playboy-style bunny. [Image credit: evilhamwizard]
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
1
Attachment On the early releases of the game, Sonia appears on a playing card representing the Queen of Diamonds which can be spotted on the ground of the race track, Roulette Road. Sonia's head was taken from a piece of fan art from Deviantart drawn by a user formerly known as Lightning_duchess (now RianaLD). Steve Lycett, Game director commented on the cameo by saying; "We take these things seriously at Sumo and will be contacting the original artist directly to offer our sincere apologies to her, this was entirely unintentional. Not much else I can really add!" This image was only supposed to be used as a place holder.
Pokémon HeartGold Version

1
The Kimono Girls' dance to summon a member of the tower duo primarily consists of circular motions. In HeartGold, they move clockwise, and in SoulSilver, they move counter-clockwise.

1
When the original Super Mario World game was released, Luigi was a recolored copy of Mario. In Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, Luigi's sprites were redesigned to look different to distinguish the two.

Attachment If a Muncher is hit with Raccoon Mario's tail attack, it will turn into a block. This trick carried over to the All-Stars version, but not the GBA version, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.
Platform: PlayStation 2
1
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.
Vectorman
1
Random copies of the Vectorman cartridges came with a different ending screen that stated the player had won a special prize in Sega's "Play to Win" competition. The player was instructed to call a specific phone number to receive their prize. The grand prize of $25,000 was awarded to a 12-year old player in Albuquerque, N.M. It's not known how many of the other prizes (one prize of $10,000, and 90 prizes of Sega Saturn systems) were awarded before the contest ended on July 31, 1996.
Super Mario Bros. 3
1
In the SNES and GBA remakes of the game (Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4), the creatures the Mushroom kings were transformed into were changed from regular animals, such as a dog or a spider, to creatures specific to the Mario series that don't otherwise appear within Super Mario Bros. 3.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team
subdirectory_arrow_right Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team (Game)
1
A programming error in the original Japanese release of Blue Rescue Team would cause it to erase the save data from any Game Boy Advance game, except for Red Rescue Team, that was currently in the GBA slot on the DS. This bug was fixed for all subsequent releases.
Doom
1
In the Sega 32x version of the game, cheating or using the level select option will cause the game to end after level 15, displaying the credits and a fake DOS prompt, rather than proceeding to the next level.
