The cover of the game, showing Alice holding the Vorpal Blade with blood splattered on her dress, was deemed too violent for store shelves in some regions. Alternate versions of the cover include her holding the Playing Cards or Ice Wand instead, with the blood removed.

In Japan, the game was known as "New Legend of the End-of-Century Savior: Fist of the North Star". Since the international version of the game did not retain the Fist of the North Star license, the characters names were changed and minor alterations were made to the graphics, generally limited to changing the color palette of the characters.

Luigi, Peach, Toad and Wario's voices were changed in the Western releases of the game from those used in the original Japanese version, despite already being in English. It's thought that Nintendo of America felt the original voice clips did not properly represent the characters, or were simply of poor quality. However, the original Japanese voices were later used in the first two Mario Party games in the worldwide releases, as well as Mario Kart: Super Circuit.

There's a hidden message in the graphics of the US release that reads "Ste & John were ere ok". This refers to Ste Pickford and John Pickford of Software Creations, the game's developer.

The US and JP versions were developed simultaneously, and since the JP version required much more space for the text graphics, there was a lot of blank space in the US tiles, so Ste wrote the hidden message there.

The Japanese version is actually easier than the American or PAL versions, unlike many games of its time. The Japanese version has many more DK Barrels, and has fewer enemies.

In Japan, the game was originally called Obake no Q-tarō: WanWan Panic and was based on the manga Obake no Q-tarō featuring the character Q-tarō. As no-one in the West would've known who Q-tarō was, the game was changed outside of Japan to Chubby Cherub.

In the Japanese version of FF6, Setzer joins the party with a Bandana equipped, even though he cannot equip bandanas (if the Bandana is removed, he cannot re-equip it). This is not a bug, but was meant to be an inside joke showing Setzer's vanity does not allow him to wear the same things as Locke. In the GBA version Setzer does not come with a Bandana, as the porting team possibly thought it was a glitch.

One Piece: Grand Adventure is a sequel to One Piece: Grand Battle Rush! developed specifically for American audiences, and is not available in Japan. It includes content that was cut out of the American release of One Piece: Grand Battle Rush!, which removed characters, stages, and music, most likely because the televised airings of the anime in the US had not revealed certain characters yet.
