Attachment Before the game was released in the U.S., Square held a "Name-in-Game" contest. A person named Kurt Zisa won the contest, and his name was used for a hidden boss in the game.

Attachment There are three unused enemies hidden in the game's code. These are CzarDragon, Colossus and an alternate Umaro. The Colossus and Umaro use the same graphics and palettes as other enemies in the game. The Colossus is fairly simple and has a full attack script, and the alternate Umaro is weaker than the original.

CzarDragon however has no script, so when the battle begins, all it does is attack repeatedly. Which is odd, as there's a line of battle dialogue for the enemy, as though it was intended to be fought. The dialogue reads:
Mwa, ha ha... Humans and their desires! I'm free at last! I bring you destruction... I bring you terror... I am Czar... Prepare yourselves!
Taking into account the dialogue and its likeness to Shinryu in Final Fantasy V, it seems as though CzarDragon was intended to be an optional end boss. In the Gameboy Advance rerelease, CzarDragon can be fought under its original Japanese name Kaiser Dragon. It has a unique sprite similar to the SNES design.

Attachment In the North American release of the game, upon completing God Mode, you are rewarded with a phone number (1-800-613-8840). Calling this number will play a message from Kratos, in which he congratulates the player and reveals the true fate of Ares following the events of the game, and hints at another secret that can be found.

This secret involves two statues that appear at the end of the game. If you strike them, nothing happens to tell you they are of any significance, but if you keep hitting them somewhere between 200 to 400 times, they will finally break. A cutscene with a scrambled code will appear on screen. Decoding it reveals another phone number (1-888-447-5594). Calling this number will put you through to Kratos who again congratulates the player, before being interrupted by David Jaffe, the game's director. Kratos eventually gets fed up trying to understand David's talk of video games and kills him, ending the call.

In the international releases of the game, these secret messages are not available through phone numbers due to regional restrictions. The first message is included via a cutscene with scrolling text rather than the original audio, while the second message showcases the original audio in higher quality.

As of 2022, both phone numbers are still in use for these Easter eggs.

0:00 - Secret Message #1
2:20 - Secret Message #2

The project director for Fallout: New Vegas, J.E. Sawyer, released a mod for the game which brings more difficulty, shifts certain NPC alignments and modifies a few character stats.

The reason this wasn't released as an official patch was partly due to its technical difficulties and difficulty curve, however it was mainly due to the development for the game and all DLC having ended.

Attachment Part of the trading sidequest involves returning a fishook to a fisherman in exchange for a mermaid's necklace. The player then returns the necklace to the mermaid who gives Link a scale from her tail in return. In the Japanese and some European versions of the game however, Link receives a pink bra instead of a necklace. This explains the mermaid's shy and anxious behavior around Link. The pink bra, most likely deemed inappropriate, was changed to the necklace in the American version and later European versions of the game.

Attachment The game features a sound test mode, though this went largely unnoticed until well over a decade after the game came out due to the obscure way in which it is accessed. You must first complete the game, watch the ending cinematic, and wait for the game to reset itself. You must then open a saved game and hold start and down while Simone finishes talking and the screen fades out. The only way to exit this mode is to reset your console.

The North American version of the game displays an incorrect border on the dialogue box, but it still functions correctly.

Attachment The Saturn version includes a number of extra areas and features unavailable in the PlayStation version. Most infamously being that of the Underground Garden, as the entrance is still visible in the PlayStation version, though inaccessible. The player can glitch the game into allowing access to this area, but it is unfinished and only a glitched out save point is available.

Attachment An upgraded special edition release of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 (which was known as Dragon Ball Z 2 in Japan) was released exclusively in Japan and titled "Dragon Ball Z 2 V".

Only 1000 copies were produced and sent out to readers of the magazine V Jump. This version featured a special Tenka'ichi Budōkai stage with V-Jump plastered over the ring, all characters unlocked from the start, and an alternate Coola costume for Freeza.

However, players were unable to save the game and all capsules were automatically assigned to characters.

Attachment Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are the only games in the series that truly intertwine, allowing the player to receive bonuses and upgrades in one game for linking it to the other. Linking the games is also the only way to truly finish the story as the final bosses only appear at the end of a linked adventure.
