As a backer reward for the game's Kickstarter, backers had the option to provide a message to appear in-game on a memorial stone. One of the in-game memorial stones in the final version of the game had its message later changed due to it being considered by many as a hateful, transphobic joke.

A number of people were against the change, but Obsidian decided to have the messaged altered. The original message by the backer read:

"Firedorn Lightbringer
Here lies Firedorn, a hero in bed.
He once was alive, but now he's dead.
The last woman he bedded, turned out a man.
And crying in shame, off a cliff he ran."

After receiving numerous complaints from gamers about the quote, CEO of Obsidian, Feargus Urquhart, chose to change it and together with the backer who created it, decided on a new message.

"Here lies Firedorn, a bard, a poet
He was also a card, but most didn't know it
A poem he wrote in jest was misread
They asked for blood, so now he's just dead."

Along with the name of the game being changed from Gimmick to Mr.Gimmick and minor alterations to the music in the European version, the player starts out with 4 lives in the Japanese version while in the English version the player starts out with 9 lives due to the intense difficulty of the game. However, it is easier to get lives in the Japanese version where if the player scores 10,000 points another life occurs at every subsequent 20,000 points, rather than 25,000 points in the European version.

In the original Japanese version of Kirby: Squeak Squad, Spinni is referred to as female, but no mention of her gender is made in the game's English version, possibly to avoid any controversy with gender issues. However, the American version of Kirby Mass Attack refers to Spinni as male.

In the Japanese release, after Death takes Alucard's equipment away from him at the start of the game, Alucard makes an exclamation of dismay. This was removed from the English translation and changed into the exclamation of "What!?" that was used instead, as the team felt his dismay sounded "lame".

The scene was intended to make Alucard appear to have slipped up by becoming familiar with Death, and come across as his acknowledgement of his mistake, rather than appearing weak and whiny as it did during translation.

During the game's prologue, in which text scrolls up the screen explaining the story leading up to the events in Symphony of the Night, narration was recorded to be played over the top of the text in the English release just as there is in the Japanese release. This was removed prior to release, as Konami's PR team felt the recording was bad, and detracted from the scene.

Towards the start of the game is a scene in which the player must rescue Varkas and Sydonia while they are tied to posts, originally, in the Japanese release, the two are instead tied up to 2 crosses, resembling a process called crucifixion.

In the Virtual Console version of the game, there's a fault that causes textures to appear differently. This is most noticeable in Sand Ocean 1, where there's a bright section of pipes not seen originally.

In the original release of the game, the background clouds in the Boss Butch battle against Dark Matter/Zero are blue and red. However, in the Virtual Console re-release, they are orange and green. This was most likely done to avoid any epilepsy effects.

At the end of the section 4 area in the Japanese version, the player has to jump from the high ledge and then land safely on a short ladder at the bottom. Due to the intense difficulty of doing this (pointed out by complaints from the U.S. Staff of the game) the English release adds extra platforms and ladders so the player can get down safely.

Anna Williams' ending shows her and her sister Nina on the beach sunbathing, when 3 men try to impress them. In the Japanese release, Nina gets jealous of Anna as she revels in the attention, so she unclips Anna's bikini top and walks away with a smile. In the international release, this scene was changed to have Anna simply walk away with the men while Nina is left on her own sunbathing, due to the original scene being considered inappropriate.

Similar scenes of nudity in the series include Tekken 2, where Anna's ending features a scene of her covering her breast while taking a shower, and in Tekken 5, where Anna's ending had Nina's body armor become dismantled, exposing her body.
