In the Japanese release, a glitch is present when the player uses the mobile phone before dying from falling into a pit or by touching dangerous surfaces which will cause the game will freeze up. This glitch can also be caused by getting the ability roulette (when one of the other Kirbys uses Magic and the outcome is that everyone gets an ability roulette). This glitch was fixed in the International version.

Attachment For the English translation of the game, Punchinello was originally going to be called "James Bomb", parodying the fictional British spy James Bond. The idea was disapproved by management, but the character's self introduction parodying James Bond made it into the final product, just with a different name ("Bomb... James Bomb" to "Nello... PUNCHINELLO!").

In the original Japanese version of Shenmue II, Yuan was a cross-dressing man. However, Sega of Europe did not find this suitable, so they re-recorded his lines with a female Japanese voice actress and swapped his gender.

Additional lines from other characters were also changed from the Japanese release. Dou Nin originally says "What the hell did you do to my cute love thing?", while in the European release this was changed to "What the hell did you do to my partner?"

Yuan's gender change was kept in the English version of the Xbox release.

Attachment In stage 8-3, the slope you encounter in the second room in the Japanese version is a little glitchy. If the player decides to walk and subsequent crouch on the slope, this could possibly put you behind the slope into the out-of-bounds area. This slope happens to be the only occurrence in the game to do this. Crouch-sliding into a wall can make Kirby partially enter said wall. This glitch was fixed in the International version by making the slope completely solid so you couldn't interact into the out-of-bounds area.

Franchise: Dynasty Warriors
▲

▼
In Japan, Dynasty Warriors 2 was released under the name of "真・三國無双" (Shin Sangoku Musou) instead of "真-三國無双2" (Sangoku Musou 2). This was done so that it could be differentiated from the original Dynasty Warriors, since the two were different genres of games. Because of this, the Dynasty Warriors games are one number off between Japan and North America.

Attachment In the Japanese manual for Sonic CD, Amy Rose is referred to as "Rosie the Rascal".

There are theories that her name was changed to Princess Sally in the U.S. manual of Sonic CD to tie the game to the Archie Comics, or the Saturday morning cartoon.
