Mortal Kombat

Trivia: The Sega Genesis version of this game is more brutal than the Super Nintendo version. To make it more kid friendly, many things were changed for the SNES copy. Like Sub Zero's Spine Rip fatality, where he would uppercut a stunned foe, ripping their head off and the full spine coming with it. In the SNES version, this was replaced with him simply freezing the enemy, and shattering the ice.

Goldeneye 007

Trivia: In the Faculty and Silo levels, there are scientists in lab coats running around everywhere. They are noncombatants that you get negative points for killing them. Approaching them will make them raise their hands and shake in fear. If you injure them weakly, like by shooting them in the foot or hand with a weak weapon a few times but where they don't die, some will turn on you. They will either pull out a DD44 pistol and shoot, or pull out a grenade. They will then act like normal enemies. Killing them after this still gives negative points.

Goldeneye 007

Trivia: The first level, Dam, was originally going to be bigger. Another part was in construction when the idea was abandoned. If you stand on the dock of the dam overlooking the water side and use the sniper riffle, it is possible to see another guard tower across the water in the distance. That is the unfinished part of the level.

Super Mario 64

Trivia: Mario has an idle animation that changes the longer you go without touching a button. First he just stands there looking around. After a while, he stretches his hands and yawns, at which point he will sit down and lower his head as he begins snoring and sleeping. Leave him alone longer, and he will then lay down on his side and continue sleeping. Leaving him longer still, and he will suddenly let out an even louder snore, and begin talking in his sleep. He says various Italian foods, sighs happily, and finishes with a Mamma Mia before stopping. He will continue to lay there and snore, occasional talking in his sleep again, until a button is pushed at which point he hops up like nothing happened. This has been seen in the DS version up to the point where he lays down. It has not yet happened that Mario, or any other character has talked in their sleep in the DS version.
