Attachment In Noki Bay, once inside the bottle in the Red Coins in a Bottle level, Mario should fall to the bottom of the bottle and then locate a small rock formation there. If Mario maneuvers into a small square opening towards the back right of the rock formation, he can find a small door inside the opening which is impossible to open. Therefore, the player must rotate the camera to see what is on the other side of the door. In doing so, Mario can see a brown book on the floor of the room behind the impassable door, though its purpose is unknown.

The book itself may be a reference (or vice versa) to the level's background music. In the Original soundtrack, the title of the level's theme is in fact "The Book in the Bottle". It's also been said that this mission was originally different, and that Mario would collect the book rather than 8 red coins.

Arin Hanson, also known by his YouTuber alias Egoraptor, provided the voice for Dr. Bruce Banner during the development of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance after winning a contest held by Activision. Hanson described the experience recording Banner's lines as "humiliating" as it was the first time he had to work in a professional recording booth let alone for a AAA video game, and believed it was a bad performance. Hanson initially claimed in 2013 that his voice was used in the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS versions of the game, but a DS version does not exist and he is not credited in the PSP version. In a later email correspondence with a user from the Lost Media Wiki, he stated he recorded his voice after Activision informed him that it would be used in select versions of the game, those being the Wii, PSP and PlayStation 3 versions. Since this was also a local contest, Activision assumed that all auditions were coming from Los Angeles and in the surrounding areas. Hanson got a "congratulations" email and was invited to Los Angeles for recording, but he was unavailable at the time. His recordings ultimately went unused in favor of another voice actor due to time constraints from Hanson only getting a chance to record late in development. However, his unused recordings would end up being added in the 2016 re-release of the game.

After completing the Thunder Dragon Quest, if the player talks to Golo, the Goron outside of the Lanayru Mining Facility entrance, at least twice, Golo tells the player that he is jealous of his discovery. From this point forward, the game becomes impossible to complete and the events at Eldin Volcano and Faron Woods will no longer occur.

Nintendo has since tried to fix this glitch by releasing "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Save Data Update Channel", a free channel from the Wii Shop.

A couple of small typos were fixed in later versions of the game. The two corrected pieces of dialogue were:

"He works for Venusaur in the Meadow Zone. He blocked the bride to stop anyone playing, but really he loves the Attractions to be found there!"
Correction: bride -> bridge

"Not so far away are your Empoleon?"
Correction: your -> you

Attachment Each guardian Bakugan that is buyable by the player has something missing. Drago and Delta Dragonoid II are missing their horns, Delta Dragonoid II is also missing the blades on his tail, Tigrerra is missing her blades and the diamond on her forehead, Skyress is missing her horns, Gorem and Hammer Gorem are missing their shield and horns respectively, Preyas and Preyas II Diablo are missing their collar, Preyas II Angelo has differently shaped eyes and missing half of his hair, and Hydranoid is missing his horn. These edits were probably made so these Bakugan would not look like the owners' guardian Bakugan from the Anime.

Attachment At the beginning of the Facility level, players are required to open a door with a computer switch in order to progress to the next area. Unfortunately, the computer can be destroyed, leaving players stuck in the starting area. In order to get around this, the developers added a scientist that eventually rushes to the bathroom. He is carrying keycard A, which will open all of the doors in the level (with the exception of the bottling room, which requires the door decoder).

In the dam level, there are three guard towers on the main dam, and one across the lake on the hidden island. The ones on the dam are marked 2, 3, and 4 in order, and the one on the island doesn't have a number. This leaves guard tower 1 missing from the game.

It's possible that this tower originally appeared immediately to the right of the locked gate to the dam. When it was eventually removed, the developers may have simply forgotten to change the other numbers.

Attachment There is a man who is located at Cinnabar Island's Pokemon Laboratory who requests a Raichu in order to trade for an Electrode. After the trade is complete, the man then says 'The RAICHU you traded to me went and evolved!'

This is a translation error where the Japanese version of Pokemon Blue has a Machoke in place of Raichu where as Pokemon Red and Green have Raichu.

In the game there's a mechanic where you praise or punish creatures. Praising them encourages a behavior, while punishing them discourages a behavior. Prior to a patch being released, punishing your creature after it had defecated caused it to become permanently constipated.

Attachment In the Normal Test Chamber 17 there is a piece of the level that's out of bounds. It was only meant to be accessed in the Advance Test Chamber 17, which is unlocked after the game is completed. It contains a momentum test with a glass panel that has a hole in the middle. This room can be accessed with cheats by typing 'noclip' into the console. It is also possible to access the room without cheats by using the 'Portal edge Glitch' on PC or it can be accessed on console and pc using a glitch called 'Portal clipping'.
