Attachment The English manual for Star Fox infamously states that the Lylat System is located "near the center of the Milky Way galaxy". However, this appears to be a localization quirk on Nintendo of America's part, as the original Japanese manual states that Lylat is located simply "near the center of a vast galaxy".

Attachment Q*bert was the only video game character to be an answer in Icon Pop Quiz prior to the video game character-themed Weekend Special. Given that he is placed between the Wreck-It Ralph characters, it is possible that the developers of Icon Pop Quiz may not have been familiar with the game and believed it was made up for Ralph. After the video game characters Weekend Special, Chun-Li from Street Fighter and Morrigan from Darkstalkers would appear on the main Characters icon list.

Attachment According to the official Japanese guidebooks for both Star Fox 64 and Star Fox Command, Meteo (or "Asteroid Belt" as it's referred to in Command) is said to represent remnants of a destroyed fifth planet from the early days of the Lylat System, which aligns with its close proximity to Corneria, the fourth planet of the Lylat System. It is said that many of the asteroids there contain highly pure metals, and their outer edges have been the site of high-quality mineral deposits, though ultimately what lies in the deepest parts of the asteroids remains unknown.

This information would also appear on the official western Star Fox 64 website and also in the Star Fox 64 Official Player's Guide, though strangely enough, the latter states that Meteo is believed to be the remnants of a ninth planet from the early days of Lylat.

Attachment Before version 18w07a (1.13), the height of large oak trees would be shared for each instance of the large tree generator created. Before Beta 1.8, this was not an issue since every time a large tree needed to be generated it used a new instance of the generator. However, from Beta 1.8 onward, each biome had its own large tree generator instance, resulting in naturally generated large trees sharing the same height per biome. These height values would remain the same until the game is restarted.

The source code below is generated using RetroMCP for version 1.2.5 unless otherwise stated.

Around line 340 of WorldGenBigTree.java, this can be found:
[code]
if(this.heightLimit == 0) {
this.heightLimit = 5 + this.rand.nextInt(this.heightLimitLimit);
}
[/code]
This code randomises the height of generated large oak trees. However, this height limit is set once due to the [code]this.heightLimit == 0[/code] check.

Line 51 of BiomeGenBase.java shows the generator instance being created: [code]protected WorldGenBigTree worldGenBigTree = new WorldGenBigTree(false);[/code] The instance is unique for every biome created and is used whenever a biome has large trees in it. Therefore, large tree heights are unique per biome. This is not too noticable however, since these trees only generate in forests, extreme hills, ice plains, jungles and plains.

Between Alpha v1.2.0 and Beta 1.7.3, BiomeGenBase still controlled what trees were generated, but it used a new large tree generator instance every time, as seen on line 64: [code]return (WorldGenerator)(var1.nextInt(10) == 0 ? new WorldGenBigTree() : new WorldGenTrees());[/code] In earlier versions, new generator instances were still being created with the exception that the height was shared per chunk: in Alpha v1.1.2_01, the following code was used around line 380 in ChunkProviderGenerate.populate().

[code]
Object var18 = new WorldGenTrees();
if(this.rand.nextInt(10) == 0) {
var18 = new WorldGenBigTree();
}
[/code]

In the image attached to this submission, it shows a world generated in Minecraft Java Edition 1.9.4. The red sand border shows the border between chunks generated before and after game reset. Trees with sea lanterns are large trees generated before the reset and trees with glowstone are large trees generated after the reset.

Both Zoo Tycoon games inaccurately portray the osteoderms of the extinct crocodilian-like reptile Deinosuchus. The first game has them resembling that of a modern crocodile, while the second game gives them an exaggerated spike-like appearance.
In reality, their osteoderms were that of a thick, hemispherical sort.

2D Nightmare is a extra minigame exclusively featured in the Nintendo GameCube version of the game. Its aesthetics are based on 'Picture City' from the original Rayman, and its intended unlock method is by connecting both the GameCube & Game Boy Advance version of Rayman 3, with the latter version requiring that all levels are completed. However, due to a programming error in the GBA version, the final boss level of the game 'Heart of the Ancients' is never counted as complete due to the game not saving after the credits roll. It was assumed hacking via Action Replay codes was the only way to play 2D Madness. However, 20 years after both games released, it was discovered that the GBA version contains hidden in-game cheat codes.

On the game's world map screen, holding the Select button while inputting:
• R/A/A/A Unlocks All Powers
• B/B/B/A/A/A Gives 99 Lives
• UP/LEFT/DOWN/RIGHT/B/A/L/R Completes All Levels
• DOWN/UP/DOWN/UP/A/LEFT/B/RIGHT 100% Complete of Levels, Powers, Lums, Cages & 99 Lives

The last two cheat codes mark every level in the game as complete, including the final boss level. Entering either code will allow 2D Nightmare to be unlocked officially in the GameCube version without any hacks to access.

This game was delayed twice prior to its release. Initially, it was delayed to April 8, 2022 from its initial release date of December 3, 2021. However, on March 9, 2022, the game was delayed again indefinitely in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Despite this, a mistake on Nintendo's part lead to one player who pre-installed the game to her Nintendo Switch being able to play it in a completed state on April 8. Six days later, Nintendo issued a refund to this player and revoked access to the game. Eventually, the game would finally be released on April 21, 2023.

On the game's box cover, Kobe Bryant is seen wearing his Lakers jersey with the patch that was used during the 2000-2001 NBA Finals. However, Kobe is also seen wearing Nike shoes, most notably the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4, which appears to be a mistake as Kobe Bryant didn't sign with Nike until 2003. The reason for the error is thought to be due to 2K Sports having a contractual obligation between the Bryant estate and the Nike brand.

In 2023, there was a brief debate regarding the game's canonicity to the overall Sonic franchise. Comic writer Ian Flynn initially stated that the game was non-canon, despite the fact that Sonic acknowledged the game's events in a Sonic Channel interview. However, this would later be revealed to be due to a change in the game's canonicity after he had been told it was non-canon. Flynn later firmly stated that the game had resumed being a canon entry in the series.

Attachment In the Stillwater Loft where the Bachelor takes refuge during the course of the game, a map of the Town can be found. Almost everything on this map reflects the in-game map except for the Train Station, as the positions of the railways and station buildings are different. It's possible that this was an earlier version of the game's map used by the developers and was not updated as the layout of the Town changed.
