Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z
1
Attachment The back of the PAL release claims that this is the first game in which Super Saiyan God Goku is a playable character. However, this statement is only half true: while this is the first Dragon Ball game released outside of Japan to feature a playable Super Saiyan God Goku, it's actually the third game overall with this feature.

The previous two games were the arcade titles Dragon Ball: Zenkai Battle Royale and Dragon Ball Heroes in 2013 through updates, although they were both exclusively released in Japan. Super Saiyan God Goku also appeared prior in Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission for the 3DS, though he was non-playable.
Metropolis Street Racer
1
Metropolis Street Racer had an extremely rocky development cycle. Multiple delays of the game pushed its European release date from late 1999 to late 2000, and the Japanese release was cancelled entirely.

After its release in Europe, various bugs in the game resulted in a recall, with Sega issuing replacement discs. The re-issued European version became the US release.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
1
During the Subspace Emissary, Ike will shout "Great Aether!" before attacking the Ancient Minister in a cutscene. However, the attack he does is merely a normal Aether.

This may have been done to match the pacing of the Japanese version, where he says "ten" as he leaps into the air, and "kuu" as he swings his sword down.
Dead Rising
1
Attachment In the shop called "In the Closet" is a a t-shirt with a woman on it. In the US version of the game, the woman is topless, whereas in the European version she is wearing a bra/bikini top.
Mario Kart DS
1
Attachment ROB is the first non-Mario character to appear in the Mario Kart series. In the Japanese release, he is red and white (like the Famicom), whilst in international releases he is dark grey (like the NES). His kart is similarly recolored.
South Park: The Stick of Truth
1
Attachment Several scenes, mostly involving abortions and anal probing, were censored in the European console releases. Instead of simply removing the scenes, these sections of the game are replaced by a picture of Michelangelo's David face-palming in front of a European flag, with descriptive text of what the scene would have entailed.

The scenes are also censored in the Australian release, and instead feature a picture of a crying koala.

The PC release, however, was only censored in Germany, Austria, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong & Taiwan, with all other regions, including the UK, receiving the uncensored version.
1
Attachment Fang the Sniper, called Nack the Weasel in the English release of Sonic Triple Trouble and various English-language comic books, originally wielded a realistic gun. However, this was considered too violent for the Sonic series, and was changed to a cork-shooting popgun during development of his debut game, Sonic Triple Trouble.
New Super Mario Bros.
1
Attachment A crash dump screen, used for debugging, still exists within the US retail copy of the game. It can be accessed by inputting a series of button combinations after crashing the game. It displays build information, the reason for the crash, and a stack dump.
Super Mario 64
1
Several of Mario's voiced lines didn't exist in the original Japanese version of the game, and were added for western releases:

• "Hello" and "Press Start to Play" during the demo screen with Mario's head.
• "Okey-dokey!" when choosing a save file.
• "Let's-a go!" when choosing a star.
• "Game over." when Mario runs out of lives.
• His dreams about pasta are missing.
• "I'm-a tired." - when the player is idle.
• "So long-a Bowser!" - when Mario throws Bowser a long distance.
• "D'oh!" - when long-jumping, sliding, or diving into a wall.
• "Boing!" - when bouncing off of a Spindrift's head.
• Mario will say either "Yahoo!", "Wha-ha!", or "Yippee!" during the last jump in a triple jump. In the Japanese game, he says "Yahoo!" every time for the third jump.
• In the opening sequence, Mario says "Yahoo! Ha ha!" when he leaps out of the pipe instead of just "Yahoo!" in the Japanese version.

1
Attachment In Victory Road, there is a one-way ledge on B1F. However, in the Spanish, Italian, French and German releases the top tile of the ledge was removed to allow access either way, and in Emerald, the entire ledge was removed.
Mario Kart 64
1
Attachment Thwomp's laugh is actually Wario's laugh slowed down. Since Wario's original voice from the Japanese release was changed in the Western version to sound more fitting, Thwomp's voice was also affected.
Twisted Metal: Black
1
The European release of the game suffered from numerous cuts to censor objectionable content, including the removal of all cutscenes (except a heavily edited cutscene of the selected vehicle entering and leaving Minion's Stadium, and a shot of the vehicle driving down a street in the ending cutscene). Other cuts included the removal of the Boeing 747, drivers running from their wreckage while on fire, the loading screen text pieces and in-game info of the drivers. However, short clips of the cutscenes were shown during the credits, as well as a gameplay clip showing the 747 being shot down.
Twisted Metal
1
Several cuts were made to the game in the European release. Cutscenes involving Sweet Tooth were the only ones to include censorship, with a total of 124 seconds of footage being removed. With regards to gameplay, Meat Wagon and Shadow's special weapons had their live hostages replaced by corpses.
Spyro the Dragon
1
Attachment In some versions of the game, Cyrus is green, while in others he is yellow.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
1
Attachment The Japanese release of the VR Missions DLC includes a wooden sword called the 蛇魂‚ (Snake Spirit). The sword will speak in Snake's voice, and comment on Raiden's actions and situation.

The sword was not included in international releases, for unknown reasons.
Hey You, Pikachu!
1
In the Japanese version of the game, Pikachu can play with an Onigiri (Riceball). In the US version, this was changed to a Cupcake.
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
1
Attachment The Mudokon Pop was originally a severed Mudokon head on a stick. Due to an incident in Japan in which someone was murdered at a school and their head placed on a post in front of the school, the Mudokon Pop was changed to a regular ice cream shape, with cartoonish Mudokon eyes and stitches on it in the Japanese release of Abe's Oddysee, as well as Abe's Exodus in all regions, as the original appearance was deemed too similar in nature. This new logo design was also used in the "New 'N' Tasty" remake.
