Attachment The barrel roll as seen in Star Fox is not a barrel roll at all, but rather an aileron roll. It's only in Star Fox: Assault that you can actually perform a barrel roll.

In the final Thieve's Guild quest, you're tasked with a seemingly dangerous escape in which the game recommends you equip the Boots of Springheel Jak (enchanted boots provided by the quest that add 50 to your acrobatics). Doing so will protect you from the fall due to a scripted event but the boots are destroyed in the process. However, should your actual acrobatics skill be high enough and/or you have sufficient health, the fall is easily survived without them and you can keep them permanently if you don't equip them before you jump.

There's a loot item named "Ripped Teddy Bear" which has the description:
An old teddy bear, eye missing and a musty smell. Stuffing is visible between the stitches. A worn, ripped label names the bear "Bo B-".

This is a reference to The Simpsons; Mr. Burns' childhood bear, Bo Bo, that was shown in the episode "Rosebud".

Attachment There is an unused battle theme for the three legendary beasts, suggesting they were planned to make a return after Gold, Silver and Crystal. The legendary beasts made a return in FireRed and LeafGreen, and could have been an implementation of the original idea to put them into Ruby and Sapphire. It's also possible the track was simply used for testing purposes.

When originally announced, the game was titled "Dark Ring". The name was changed to Dark Souls because "Dark Ring" can be seen as a euphemism for an anus.

This was the second time the name changed. The first time was also unintentionally risque; "Dark Race".

Johnny Cage is based on Jean-Claude Van Damme. The creators wanted Van Damme to be in the first Mortal Kombat, but Van Damme was unable to due to his busy work schedule. Johnny Cage's clothes in this game are almost identical to the clothes Van Damme wore in the last match in the movie "Bloodsport", and his Split Punch is taken directly from a move done by Van Damme in Bloodsport. Cage's Nutcracker Split Punch was also inspired by Bloodsport.

Attachment There's an achievement called "Live With the Hot Ones" for setting enemies alight with the flame thrower. This is a direct reference to an obscure line in the EA code of conduct. Every employee at EA is contractually obligated to "Live With the Hot Ones". No one had any idea what it meant, so it became something of an in-joke at EA.

In the Japanese versions of Pokemon, the attack "Night Slash" is called "Blade Testing". This is a reference to an old practice that some immoral samurai held to test their new swords. They would wait alongside a road at night for a random passer-by, then attack them with the intention to kill. Night Slash also has a higher than average critical hit rate, which could be another nod to the story, as the passer by would be defenseless.

Attachment In the Japanese version, Yoshi can eat the dolphins. This was removed from the international release. It's thought it was removed because of the different cultural views towards dolphins, or simply to make the level easier to finish, as the dolphins can be used as platforms. This was added back into all versions of the Game Boy Advance version.
