Franchise: Sonic The Hedgehog

Attachment In 1993, Sonic the Hedgehog became the first video game character to appear as a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The balloon popped on it's one and only flight by being pushed into a lamp post by strong gusts of wind, hurting a kid and a police officer on it's descent. Because of this incident, the balloon was retired.

A second Sonic balloon based on his modern redesign was used between 2011 and 2013 to celebrate the series' 20th anniversary, and was brought back one more time in 2021 in accordance with the series' 30th anniversary.

One of the girls who appeared topless in the game was 17 years old at the time of development, making The Guy Game illegal to sell in countries where the age of consent was 18. However, this did not come to light until four months after the game's release, when the same girl sued the game's developers Topheavy Studios, Gathering of Developers (a subsidiary of 2K Games' owner Take Two Interactive which included Topheavy Studios), Microsoft and Sony (on which the game was released for the Xbox and PlayStation 2), as she was not informed that the footage of her would be used in-game and on the game's promotional website. A Texas county judge granted a temporary injunction against the production of copies of the game until her voice, name and image were removed from the game entirely.

The following year, Topheavy Studios released a DVD version of the game with additional content not featured in the original game titled "The Guy Game: Game Over", while taking the controversy in stride stating on the game's store page:

"The rumors are true! The most controversial video game ever created - The Guy Game - is no longer available!"

Attachment During a cutscene where 'The Chaos' attempts to grab Lightning, there is a hidden message among the yellow lines as she disappears. The message says "Pray for Japan" which was not known because it was written in a different script (Etro Script, a 3rd type of language used in Final Fantasy XIII). This is most likely a reference to the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake in Japan.

In the audit menu of the arcade version, there is a useless row of text that says "ERMACS" (which stands for Error Macros) and is listed under "Reptile Battles." Because of this, players thought that Ermac was a hidden boss like Reptile. Ermac became a running joke for the developers, so much so that they even made him a real character for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, with his BIO saying he was hiding in the first Mortal Kombat.

Company: Taito

Taito was planning to release a console of their own. Dubbed the WoWoW, it was shown at the Tokyo Game Show in 1992. It would've been a 16-bit, CD-based console with similar capabilities to Taito's arcade machines. Inventively, it would've also received games by satellite. After a few appearances, it was mysteriously dropped, never released to the public.

Franchise: Metal Gear

There is a recurring character within the Metal Gear Solid series called "Johnny". In each game, Snake will come across a character named Johnny, never being the same person but rather a member of a long line of Johnnys from the same family. In each instance, Johnny can suffer from severe diarrhea.

In the first Metal Gear Solid, Johnny is encountered twice. First he is found passed out and naked by the cells in which Maryl escapes, and later he guards Snake's cell before he is tortured.

In Metal Gear Solid 3, Johnny reveals a lot of back story to Snake while guarding his cell, giving insight into his family's tradition of naming every male born into the family "Johnny".

In Metal Gear Solid 4, Johnny is found suffering from diarrhea in a metal barrel, and is constantly suffering from bowel trouble throughout the story. This time, Johnny plays a protagonist, and a major role in the game's story as well.

Attachment In the Japanese release of the game, the game's packaging accommodates every disc with it's own slot. However in the European and North American release of the game, the fourth disc is just put in a nub above the instruction manual. This has caused some criticism of Microsoft because it's very easy to cause scratches to the fourth disc.
