Attachment Tiny Tiger was originally named Taz Tiger, since it was based off the extinct animal Thylacine, better known as the Tasmanian Tiger. His name was change possibly because it was to avoid any legal issues with Warner Bros., since there was another character that goes by the name of Taz, the Tasmanian Devil.

In the North American release, when you pause the game in the middle of Tiny's boss fight. His name reads Taz Tiger. This was a mistake Naughty Dog left behind and it was fixed in the European release.

Attachment The letter Spoiler:old Elizabeth gives to young Elizabeth says:

"I am a code. I should probably be changed over for something much more official in the future. But I'll do as a stand-in for now I suppose."

The developers likely forgot to change it.
The cipher used for the letter can be seen early in the game in one of Elizabeth's many rooms.

Margret's last name does not appear (outside of the credits) in the American release of the game. Her listing is just simply titled "Margret" and when she dies the screen just simply states "Margret is Dead". This is quite strange as every other release of the game states her full name, Margret Moonlight, much like Alice Moonlight.
This was proven to be a dubbing error as Alice's real last name was Twilight and is corrected in all other releases.

Attachment The term "Werehog" is derived from the words werewolf and hedgehog. However, this is a misnomer, considering that the "were" in werewolf derives from the Old English "wer", meaning "man", which means he is incorrectly referred to as a "Manhog". A "Manhog" would be a man who can morph into a pig, or someone who is half man, half pig.

The English version of Mana Khemia 2's title is actually a mistranslation. Mana Khemia 2's Japanese title is "マナケミア2 〜おちた学園と錬金術士たち〜", or "Mana Khemia 2: ~The Fallen Academy and the Alchemists".

The Japanese title is also more reflective of the game's plot, as the story has more to do with an alchemy school's decline than it is with the decline of alchemy itself.

Metal Shark Player's Japanese name is actually Metal Shark Prayer. His English name is the result of a mistranslation of R and L being identical in Japanese. The reason he is called Prayer is because he resurrects other Mavericks (these being Sting Chameleon, Magna Centipede, and Blast Hornet), thus he "prays". It is also worth mentioning that when he resurrects the Mavericks, he shouts their Japanese names.

In Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, there is a badly programed enemy on planet Grelbin called the Snow Beast. The enemy was made in three days and has too short of a pre-attack animation, which makes it frustrating to fight, especially in large groups. This beast was the influence for the Snow Beast Award, which is an internal award that Insomniac Games gives to the person that "Created the worst thing that actually shipped in the game" after every new game is released.

It should be noted that in the final game these 'Snow Beasts' are individually named 'Y.E.T.I.'

Attachment After you find Cloud in the hospital after he falls in the Lifestream, he will mumble incoherent things when you speak to him. One of the things he mumbles is "zeno... gias..." This is a translation error and a reference to the game Xenogears. In the PC port of Final Fantasy VII, the spelling is corrected to "Xeno... gears".

Cloud also says "A billion mirror fragments.... small.... light..." which is a reference to the vocal song of Xenogears, Small Two of Pieces. One of the lines to the song is "Broken mirror, a million shades of light".

The boss fight with Mz. Ruby is a rhythm based mini-game. In the HD Sly Collection, the music in the fight is remixed. Because of this, the music is no longer synchronized with her attacks. This make the boss fight much more difficult in comparison to the original version.

There are a couple of areas in the game where you can trap yourself in a test chamber with no way to get out. Once the developer figured out that the player could do this, they programed GLaDOS to open an escape route which earned an achievement called "Like A Rat."

Toad Man's should be NO. 26 but it is labeled as NO. 29 which is Ring Man's number, Ring Man is labeled NO. 28 which is Pharaoh Man's number, and Pharaoh Man is labeled as NO. 26 which is Toad Man's number.

For years, Lara Croft's bust size was believed to be the result of an error made by developer Toby Gard, when he accidentally increased the dimensions of her breasts by 150%. The creative team then argued to keep the change. This claim originated from a 1997 interview with Gard, who joked that a "slip of the mouse" resulted in Lara's chest being resized by 150% instead of 50%. In a 2021 article by TheGamer investigating the origin of the claim, Gard confirmed that this statement was intended as a joke. The article also revealed that false belief in the claim was exacerbated by an April Fool's Day article by GameSpot in 2000, which attributed the claim to a supposed developer named Nigel West, who is not actually listed in the credits for any Tomb Raider games that existed at that time.
