Attachment The concept art for the Demoman originally showed him as a stereotypical Scottish person, with white skin and red hair. This was dropped because the developers thought he lacked originality and needed to be different from the other classes.

Each of the games in the first four generations feature a reference to a famous movie, found by checking the TV in the main character's house.

• In Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, "Four boys are walking on railroad tracks", referencing "Stand by Me".
• In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, "Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard.", referencing "Big".
• While Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen kept the Stand by Me reference with the male character, the female one will see a film where "A girl with her hair in pigtails is walking up a brick road", referencing "The Wizard of Oz".
• In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, "Two boys are in a cave searching for treasure", referencing "Tom and Huck".

Yoshi was originally going to be in the game but was removed due to the developers thinking that "it would've been too much all at once." They said that, "if you're going to put Yoshi in a game, he has to be a main element, but [Super Mario Galaxy] had spherical land forms and gravity shifts and lots of elements that were entirely new" and, "Even if we had used him, we might have only been able to use him on a single stage."

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.

Destroy All Humans!

"Destroy All Humans!" was conceived of by then video game programmer Matt Harding, allegedly from a sarcastic remark he made following Microsoft's rejection of a family-friendly game concept, since he "didn't want to spend two years of [his] life writing a game about killing everyone". Harding later quit from Pandemic Studios and began compiling footage from an Asian walkabout vacation he had done, leading to the creation of the "Where the Hell is Matt?" videos. While he was not involved with the development of "Destroy All Humans!", he was given a conceptual credit.

There is a method on breeding Shiny Pokemon called the Masuda method. The method is named after Game Freak director Junichi Masuda, who programmed it into Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. He documented the method in his blog, where he mentioned a way that "rare colored Pokémon's Egg can be found little easier." The Masuda method involves breeding two Pokémon created in games of different countries.

During the Gibberish Questions Segment, if the players type in "fuck you" as an answer, the host will react in a number of ways, ranging from talking down to the player, taking away large sums of their money, changing their name, and eventually, if all players use that same answer, shut down the game.

Depending on which animal Link befriends, the landscape of certain areas in Holodrum and Labrynna will change. If Link had Moosh join them, some areas within these regions will resemble a wasteland-like area filled with many pits that Moosh can fly over. If Link had Ricky join him, then some areas within these regions may resemble a prairie-like landscape with the occasional cliffs and a couple of holes that Ricky can jump over. If Link had Dimitri join him, then some areas within these regions may resemble a large lake or river with many waterfalls, which will require the use of Dimitri's help.

Attachment The space marine makes many faces in the game depending on the player's status. One of these faces is a "shocked" face known colloquially amongst Doom fans as the "Ouch Face", which rarely makes an appearance due to a coding error in which the programmers used "(plyr->health - st_oldhealth > ST_MUCHPAIN)" instead of the correct expression "(st_oldhealth - plyr->health > ST_MUCHPAIN)". While this face was meant to show up if the player took 20 or more hit points worth of damage in a single tic, the error meant that it only displayed when the player "gained" 20 hit points while taking damage. An example of this can be seen when attempting to use the IDDQD cheat during the very end of E1M8: Phobos Anomaly.

A number of source ports fix this behaviour, allowing the Ouch face to display as originally intended.
