Super Mario Maker

Super Mario Maker (2015)

Attachment

Similar to the SNES Game Mario Paint, tapping the letters on the game's title screen will produce unique effects:

• Tapping the word Super will drop out 5 Invincibility Stars, followed by a random voice or voices calling out the name of the game.
• Tapping the M will make it flip upside down into a W, spelling "Super Wario Maker". Wario's voice will also taunt the player.
• Tapping the A will make a cluster of multi-colored stars rain out from the background, which will also defeat all enemies present on the screen.
• Tapping the R will stretch it upwards slightly, raining out a shower of coins.
• Tapping the I will make the little parakeet from the Nintendo DSi Sound app appear and sit on top of the letter for a short moment.
• Tapping the O will make a Koopa Clown Car appear.
• Tapping the 2nd M will make a Buzzy Beetle helmet drop down.
• Tapping the 2nd A will turn it into a rocket ship taking off, along with an intercom counting down before it takes off.
• Tapping the K will turn the screen into a sepia tone, and will also play an 8-bit version of the title screen theme.
• Tapping the E will drop down a Springboard.
• Tapping the 2nd R will either make a Goomba's Shoe or a Yoshi Egg appear, depending on the style featured.

In addition, tapping anywhere else will make different types of enemies appear, and carry Mario around.

Nintendo requested that an American-voice actress be used for Joanna Dark. After auditions and failed negotiations, Rare decided to give Joanna a British accent voiced by Rare employee Eveline Novakovic, who had been hired as part of the music team.

Eveline Novakovic's last name, before marriage, was Fischer. She has also worked on several Donkey Kong series games and Ken Griffey, Jr's Winning Run. She has often been credited as E. Fischer.

WWF No Mercy was notorious for a massive memory glitch that would delete all of the player's save data at any time. A fixed version was released almost a year later. The new version also had blood removed, although animations and "first blood" matches remained in the game.

Performing a time stop with the characters Dio or Jotaro after an opponent has been defeated sometimes causes a glitch where the opponent remains frozen for several seconds into the next round. This virtually guarantees another loss for them, as even a single hit while frozen like this causes a large amount of damage.

B. Jones, an artist who worked on GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark, stated in an interview that there was not a "production manager, schedule, or weekly meetings, or monthly meetings, or as far as I can remember, any meetings whatsoever... People would just do things they thought were cool and would work".

It is likely Nicholai Ginovaef's name was mistranslated based on pronunciation, as the only actual Slavic name the original transcript correlates to is Nikolai Zinoviev. Interestingly, in the Russian translation of the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse, his last name was changed to Zhukov.

The game contains two unused and unfinished commands, most likely used for debug purposes.

"!Dummy02" enchants weapons in the same way as the "magic sword" fire spell.

In the Japanese Version of the game, once registered through the Pokemon Mobile System GB, players can purchase a service called the Trade Corner. This service allows them to link with other players via a mobile phone to trade Pokemon.
This gives Pokemon Crystal the distinction of being the first main series Pokemon game to allow trading via wireless linking.

The word on the title "Pokkén" is a combination of "Pokémon" and "Tekken". And the game's title and logo are very similar to Tekken Tag Tournament 2. However, the name of the game is called "Pokémon Tekken" in Germany and Austria. The title was most likely changed to avoid sounding like the German word "pocken," which means "smallpox."

Several images on the Steam Store page and on the back of the Xbox version show scenes that are impossible in normal gameplay.

-The Steam Store page shows Bastila, the player character, and Carth fighting Mandalorians on the Unknown World.
Spoiler:It is impossible to have both Carth and Bastila in the party at this time. The only way to get Bastila in the party is to go inside the temple (which can only be entered with Jolee Bindo and Juahni), and choose the dark side option, leaving with Bastila alone. Carth cannot be added to the party at this time.

-The Steam Store page, and a different image on the back of the Xbox version, both show HK-47 on Taris.
Spoiler:HK-47 joins the party on Tatooine, which can only be reached after the destruction of Taris.

Shantae

▲

1

▼

According to Shantae co-creator Matt Bozon, during development of the first Shantae game, publishers were having a hard time accepting the idea of having a female lead character rather than a male character.

''The most common reaction to Shantae back in the '90s was "Hey, great looking game. But who do the guys play as?" Like, we must have messed up and put the "Player 2" character in the "Player 1" spot. It felt like our work was being dismissed for no good reason, and it made no sense to me. But eventually I came to understand that these people genuinely knew their markets, and that the game would probably not sell, and that was even more irritating. So, I feel like Shantae had to exist, even if it was just to reach out and see if there was an audience reaching back."

Shantae was later picked up by Capcom in 2002 and was released on the Game Boy Color.
