RoboCop Versus the Terminator
1
Attachment The US SNES version of RoboCop Versus the Terminator came in a hard plastic box instead of the cardboard boxes used by other SNES titles.
M.C Kids
1
The blurb for the box of M.C Kids claims the game was developed with consultation from a qualified developmental psychologist named Frank Manis. While Frank Manis is a real person with a legitimate Ph.D. dating back to 1981, he is not credited in-game.

Shrek
2
Attachment Despite being featured on the cover of the "Extra Large" version, Donkey is absent in both versions of the game. In fact, the only elements from the movies that appear are Shrek, a brief mention of Fiona, his swamp, and the Magic Mirror, leading some to speculate whether or not this game was originally meant to be a licensed Shrek game.
Paccie
2
Attachment The box art for Paccie was stolen from an entry in the December 1994 Ray Tracing Competition.
Dalmatians 3
1
The box art of Dalmatians 3 shows a character inspired by the animated Disney version of Cruella De Vil. This character does not appear in any of the movies originally produced by Dingo Pictures or its associated re-release video games, with the game disc featuring no human characters whatsoever aside from a jester mascot who appears on the menu screen. The original book character of Cruella De Vil has yet to enter the public domain.
Reservoir Dogs
1
The first print of Reservoir Dogs had a printing error where the 18 rating was missing from the disc, leading the game to be recalled.
Sneak King
subdirectory_arrow_right Pocket Bike Racer (Game), Big Bumpin' (Game), Xbox Series X|S (Platform), Xbox (Platform), Xbox 360 (Platform)
1
Attachment The Burger King Xbox trilogy - Sneak King, Big Bumpin', and Pocketbike Racer - has an unusual packaging and disc design, bearing the aesthetic design of the Xbox 360's packaging art, but simply saying "Xbox" due to the game disc containing files for both Xbox and Xbox 360 versions of the game. This is exclusive to the Burger King games, with original Xbox games released after the trilogy still having the original Xbox packaging template from 2001. The concept of a unified "Xbox brand" box design shared between all platforms would eventually see wide use with the release of the Xbox Series X|S, which would clarify which only feature the Xbox brand logo and clarify which platforms the disc is compatible with.

Princess Peach: Showtime!
2
Prior to the game's release, Nintendo made some minor adjustments to the game's key art, changing the eyebrows on Peach's face design slightly to appear more competitive (with some comparing it to her design in The Super Mario Bros. Movie), and changing Kung Fu Peach's expression to one of anger. Unlike similar changes made to artwork of other Nintendo games - most infamously the Kirby franchise - where an angry version would be made for Western territories and a happy version would be made for US territories, this change was made to both the Japanese and American versions of the art.
Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures
2
Attachment The game's international cover art is split into two separate parts, the first part depicting Pac-Man about to hang glide off a cliff, and the second part showing him screaming in fear just moments after jumping off. The North American box art for both the SNES and Genesis versions of the game use the picture of Pac-Man screaming, while the European box art for the SNES version uses the picture of Pac-Man preparing to take off. Since this regional gag may have been missed by players at the time of the game's release, copies of the Genesis version featuring Namco's production line of the cartridge came packaged with a lenticular cover art insert showing both pictures in motion back-to-back.

Tails and the Music Maker
1
Attachment There exists an unused version of Tails & the Music Maker's cover art where Tails plays a piano instead of standing on a giant piano.
Horace Goes Skiing
subdirectory_arrow_right Hungry Horace (Game)
1
Attachment There exists a rare misprinted version of Horace Goes Skiing's box art with the name of its predecessor, Hungry Horace, printed on the spine instead of the actual game name.

Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2
1
Kid Buu is shown on the box art even though he never makes an appearance in the game. The only Buus that show up are Fat Buu and Super Buu.
Top Trumps: Doctor Who
2
Attachment The box art for Top Trumps: Doctor Who on the Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2 is misleading, with the logo of Top Trumps, a popular UK card game, being hidden in the corner of the box in place of the corporate logos, making it easy for players to not notice it and therefore mistake the game for a Doctor Who adventure game. This would be remedied for the Wii version of the game.

The Simpsons: Hit & Run
0
Attachment On the box art of The Simpsons: Hit & Run, Bart wears a blue shirt with a noticeably darker shade than the blue shirts he wore in 1990s-era merchandise. In the game, he wears his orange shirt from the show.
Cartoon Network Racing
subdirectory_arrow_right Cartoon Network Racing (Game)
1
Attachment The box art for the DS version of Cartoon Network Racing removes any implication of the double-driver kart feature, which is absent from the DS iteration of the game. However, it does not split up the Powerpuff Girls, who drive as a single unit in the PlayStation 2 version, but as solo racers in the DS version.
Freaky Flyers
2
Attachment The box art for the Nintendo GameCube version of the game was slightly censored, changing the color of Traci Torpedoes' jacket and decreasing her breast size to make them noticeably less prominent.
Jak II
1
Attachment In the North American release, the cover art is reversible, with the back side featuring a map of Haven City. The front of the game's manual points this map out as a tip to players, but the Greatest Hits re-release of the game did not include this map, with the manual not being updated to reflect this change.

Streets of Rage
1
Attachment On the game's Japanese cover, illustrated by Yoshiaki Yoneshima. Blaze Fielding's pose strongly resembles the same pose made by Hitomi Kisugi in an illustration by mangaka Tsukasa Hojo for a 1994 10 aizōban re-release of Shonen Jump's Cat's Eye.
Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island
1
Attachment On the North American cover art of the game, only Danny Phantom, SpongeBob SquarePants, Timmy Turner, Cosmo and Wanda are featured, but on the European cover art, Sam Manson, Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks are featured as well.
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
1
Attachment The pre-release box art for the European version did not include Donkey Kong or Amy and showed a PEGI rating of 3, while the final release was rated 7.
