The blurb for the box of M.C Kids claims the game was developed with consultation from a qualified developmental psychologist named Frank Manis. While Frank Manis is a real person with a legitimate Ph.D. dating back to 1981, he is not credited in-game.

Attachment Despite being featured on the cover of the "Extra Large" version, Donkey is absent in both versions of the game. In fact, the only elements from the movies that appear are Shrek, a brief mention of Fiona, his swamp, and the Magic Mirror, leading some to speculate whether or not this game was originally meant to be a licensed Shrek game.

The box art of Dalmatians 3 shows a character inspired by the animated Disney version of Cruella De Vil. This character does not appear in any of the movies originally produced by Dingo Pictures or its associated re-release video games, with the game disc featuring no human characters whatsoever aside from a jester mascot who appears on the menu screen. The original book character of Cruella De Vil has yet to enter the public domain.

▼
Attachment The Burger King Xbox trilogy - Sneak King, Big Bumpin', and Pocketbike Racer - have an unusual packaging and disc design, bearing the aesthetic design of the Xbox 360's packaging art, but simply saying "Xbox" due to the game disc containing files for both, Xbox and Xbox 360 versions of the game. This is exclusive to the Burger King games, with original Xbox games released after the trilogy still having the original Xbox packaging template from 2001.

The concept of a unified "Xbox brand" box design shared between all platforms would eventually see wide use with the release of the Xbox Series X, which would remove the "One" from the Xbox One's existing box template and add an extra bar of text clarifying which Xbox platforms the disc is compatible with.

Princess Peach: Showtime!
Princess Peach: Showtime! (2024)

Prior to the game's release, Nintendo made some minor adjustments to the game's key art, changing the eyebrows on Peach's face design slightly to appear more competitive (with some comparing it to her design in The Super Mario Bros. Movie), and changing Kung Fu Peach's expression to one of anger. Unlike similar changes made to artwork of other Nintendo games - most infamously the Kirby franchise - where an angry version would be made for Western territories and a happy version would be made for US territories, this change was made to both the Japanese and American versions of the art.

Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures
Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (1994)
▲

▼
Attachment The game's international cover art is split into two separate parts, the first part depicting Pac-Man about to hang glide off a cliff, and the second part showing him screaming in fear just moments after jumping off. The North American box art for both the SNES and Genesis versions of the game use the picture of Pac-Man screaming, while the European box art for the SNES version uses the picture of Pac-Man preparing to take off. Since this regional gag may have been missed by players at the time of the game's release, copies of the Genesis version featuring Namco's production line of the cartridge came packaged with a lenticular cover art insert showing both pictures in motion back-to-back.

Top Trumps: Doctor Who (2008)

▼
Attachment The box art for Top Trumps: Doctor Who on the Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2 is misleading, with the logo of Top Trumps, a popular UK card game, being hidden in the corner of the box in place of the corporate logos, making it easy for players to not notice it and therefore mistake the game for a Doctor Who adventure game. This would be remedied for the Wii version of the game.

Attachment The box art for the DS version of Cartoon Network Racing removes any implication of the double-driver kart feature, which is absent from the DS iteration of the game. However, it does not split up the Powerpuff Girls, who drive as a single unit in the PlayStation 2 version, but as solo racers in the DS version.

Attachment In the North American release, the cover art is reversible, with the back side featuring a map of Haven City. The front of the game's manual points this map out as a tip to players, but the Greatest Hits re-release of the game did not include this map, with the manual not being updated to reflect this change.
