Attachment Within the GameCube version's data are graphics for an earlier Vivian design depicting her with a shorter body and a flame on the tip of her hat. Concept art included in the Nintendo Switch remake reveals that the latter trait was part of an early design for all three Shadow Sirens, with Beldam and Marilyn also having a shard of ice and a lightning bolt at the end of their respective hats. This concept art additionally depicts the Shadow Sirens with black skin, which was changed to purple by the time the early Vivian sprite was created.

A teleportation plasmid was planned for the first game but was cut, as it could be used to break the game's script during certain events. This plasmid was referenced as an Easter egg in Bioshock 2 in the Fontaine Futuristics level as an "Unstable Teleport Plasmid" that teleports around the level when the player interacts with it.

Attachment The first production builds of the Famicom had different controllers. The original controllers featured rubber squares buttons. These controllers were reworked due to their weak lockout and soft buttons that could be worn down. Future Famicom controllers had buttons that were round and hard, instead of square and rubbery.

Charles Martinet (the voice for Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi from 1990 to 2023) was actually not invited to the auditions to be the new voice of Mario. He crashed the auditions and was just asked to do an Italian accent until he ran out of things to say. He knew nothing about Mario going into the audition, and since he was told that he was going to talk to children throughout the game, he started to do a more playful and gentle voice instead of the traditional gruff Italian accent that Mario had before. Martinet left so much of an impression at the recording that his tape was the only one sent to Nintendo.

In Pokémon X and Y, Gamefreak gave a proper name to every attack that was mistranslated in the original Spanish Red and Blue versions. The changes are:

-Slam will be named Atizar instead of Portazo (Door Slam).
-Constrict will be named Constricción instead of Repetición (Restriction).
-Counter will be named Contraataque instead of Contador (Counter from the verb "to count").
-Return will be named Retribución instead of Retroceso (Return as in "Return somewhere")
