When you are locked onto a target in Metroid Prime, pressing the jump button does a sideways dash. This lets the player easily strafe around a target and dodge incoming fire. This sideways strafe jump sets a horizontal velocity on the player that continues to circle around the target while locked on, but if you unlock the target just as the strafe jump starts, Samus keeps the horizontal momentum without the lock-on pull. This trick, which the game's speedrunning community called the Scan Dash, allows for a larger horizontal distance traversal than a normal jump. Using this momentum can let Samus catch the edge of the cliff beside her ship in the Landing Site and get the Space Jump Boots early upon landing.

According to programmer Zoid Kirsch, creative use of the game physics and movement that results in acquiring items out of order allows for creative exploration of the game world. While sequence breaks like this are a crucial part of the Metroid series, this trick would actually be patched out in later releases of the game.

After each level is cleared, the player will reach a results screen that tallies up every kill they got in the level. In the PC version of the game, the player is able to speed through this screen by mashing the swift attack button. This option is not available in any of the console versions.

In Metroid Prime, the wait time for doors between different rooms to open can sometimes last a long time, because it acts as a buffer to allow the room past the door to load in. In most cases, two rooms can be loaded in at once, the one Samus is in, and the one she is going to (on rare occasions three rooms can be loaded in), and in rooms with multiple exits, only one door can be open at a time.

According to programmer Zoid Kirsch, the game's developers went with the design of the blue force field on the doors that fades when shot to indicate the door is "ready" to open, but has to wait until the room behind it is loaded. Most times, the room should already be loaded by the time Samus gets to the door, but some gameplay elements like the Morph Ball make it so she can get there much faster. On the GameCube and Wii disc copies of Metroid Prime, this means you will have to wait for the disc to be read and finish loading the room for the door to open, but on a digital copy like the Wii U Nintendo eShop release of Metroid Prime Trilogy, the load times are much faster since the game is stored on the console's internal memory with no other changes to the game.

The song "Horatio" has two unique Challenge Charts depending on the version.

In the North American PlayStation 2 version, Shock Arrows are used more frequently and before 16th notes, forcing the player to occasionally step in the center to maintain the stream patterns.

This was changed in the arcade release of X, reducing the quantity of Shock Arrows in the beginning and end and spacing them out further. This modified chart is also used in the Japanese console release of the game.

The post-credits scene of the film Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed has Scooby present the audience with a "Game Boy Advance Secret Code" for the tie-in video game of the film, the easily-guessable "SD2". This code is promoted as working with both the GBA and PC versions of the game and is prompted to be entered at the end of each port of the game.

In the GBA version, entering the code will reveal who the main culprit is. If it is not entered, the ending cutscene will cut off before the culprit is revealed as to prevent spoilers.

In the PC version, entering the code will instead trigger a bonus Dance the Fright Away minigame between the main villain and every member of Mystery, Inc.

The Japan-exclusive Famicom version of Monty on the Run bears almost no resemblance to its source material, with Monty being a human prisoner instead of an anthropomorphic mole, the game starting in a temple instead of Monty's house, the game being a side-scroller instead of multi-screen game, and the Monty Freedom Kit selector being a weapon select instead of anti-piracy. The only resemblances the game has to the British version of the game are being about an escaped prisoner and featuring the Monty on the Run theme as title screen music.

Sqij!
Sqij! (1986)

The ZX Spectrum release of Sqij! has been cited as one of the worst games ever made, sometimes even being referred to as the single worst video game ever made, due to a bug that renders Sqij uncontrollable unless the game is modified with the POKE button (a button on the ZX Spectrum that allowed users to modify code of software, somewhat like a built-in Game Genie). The conversion was handled by a 15-year-old named Jason Creighton, who intentionally created a lackluster version of the game expecting it to be rejected, in protest against being mistreated during development, with a particular point of contention being that he wasn't provided with the original Commodore 64 version of Sqij! to study. However, the infamous bug that rendered the game unplayable was not an intentional inclusion.

Inserting the CD-ROM of the Dreamcast version into a PC reveals a readable segment with a folder called "BONUS" containing various pictures of the female cast.

The galleries are different between regions. The Japanese gallery features Ayane and Kasumi wearing a kimono while the other three galleries feature pin-ups of Helena, Leifang, and Tina (the latter wearing cat ears). In the European version all the pictures are pin-ups with only sharing the Helena picture (albeit with a different background). The American gallery is pretty similar to the European one but with three extra pictures.
