Whilst in the United States the game featured characters from the film We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story, it featured 3 different IPs in other regions. In Sweden, the game featured the cartoon character Bamse instead. In Australia, the game featured the puppet Agro and was titled "Agro Saur". In Europe, the game featured an original character called "Baby T-Rex".

A fifth version featuring the BBC puppet Edd the Duck was to be released in the United Kingdom, but was cancelled.

The 2013 iOS/Android phone rerelease of Sonic 2 re-adds the once lost Hidden Palace level. It consists of one act, retains the unused dinosaur and bat Badniks with a few changes, introduces a new jellyfish Badnik and a new Robotnik boss at the end. The 2P Mystic Cave zone music plays in this level.

The entrance to Hidden Palace is found at the bottom of a once-infamous shaft in the Mystic Cave Zone. Originally the shaft had spikes at the bottom that could easily (and slowly) kill the player whether or not they were Super Sonic. The rerelease removes the spikes, thus falling into this hole now takes the player to Hidden Palace.

In all of the SNES versions of Final Fantasy IV, it is sometimes possible to open the menu while walking between tiles on the world map. If a Tent or Cabin is then used from the menu, it triggers the "sliding glitch." The map's collision will be shifted one tile away from the direction the player was walking. This by itself is cosmetic, however saving and reloading the game will reset the collision to match the graphics. This means the bug can be used to bypass certain map triggers or other impassible areas. This was fixed in the PlayStation version - it is no longer possible to open the menu when moving.

Attachment Due to Nintendo's censorship policies at the time, all human enemies were either changed or removed in the SNES version.

• The knife throwers in levels 1-4 (Mystic Land) were changed to purple demons who spit fireballs. In the same levels, the martial artists became green-yellowish demons who throw grenades.

• The punks on level 5 (Train To Tomorrow) were changed to green robots.

• In levels 6-8 (Tokyo) the enemy who throws grenades was recolored to look like a green demon. Also, the Commando enemy in those same levels was taken out completely.

The "Report After Raccoon City's Collapse" has a translation error in the English transcript. All three files in the English version are signed by Nicholai Ginovaef, the last one being dated October 6, 1998 which would indicate Nicholai survived in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. However, in the original Japanese version the third file is signed by the Umbrella B.O.W. Development Team.

Karn, whose name was Danc in the Japanese version, received a "race-lift" in the overseas release, going from a pale, almost ash-grey skin-tone to vaguely Arabian-looking. Given that the face portrait seems to be done in the stereotypical (and culturally offensive in the west) "Blackface"-style, it isn't too surprising this was changed.

The Final Fantasy IV Settei Shiryou Shuu shows a screenshot of Kain with a White Magic command, and there is an unused empty magic spell list that, based on the internal character order, was intended for him.
