In The legend of zelda: ocarina of time, the Fire temple´s background music had a muslim chant in the background at the first version of the game. This was edited out in later versions because of muslim protests.

In Sonic the hedgehog, The Star light zone´s background music is loosely based on the song "Kusuriyubi no Kesshin" by Dreams Come True.

Chief Mendez in Resident Evil 4 is easy to beat once you know his tricks.

All Sonic games for the Genesis were made entirely from the skins of dead Jim Morrisons, hence the smell.

If you beat a rival in Monaco GP, you'll unlock their car.

In Parasite Eve II, a gunblade can be obtained.

The Parasite Eve games were based on (to a degree) a horror novel by Hideaki Sena. The novel has only recently been translated to English. The events of the novel are referred to by the scientist Dr Maeda in the original game.

In the game Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2 for Yanks), Mark Hamill plays the voice of Griffon. Hamill, while best known for his role as Luke Skywalker, is now a voice actor who played the Joker in the Batman animations.

The Japanese rock star called 'Gackt' is sometimes thought of as the inspiration for the look of Squall Leonhart in Final Fantasy VIII, but Tetsuya Nomura said that the actual inspiration was late actor River Phoenix. Gackt is now the offical basis for a Final Fantasy character, becoming the face and voice actor of the mysterious super-SOLDIER 'G', who has appeared in a cameo in Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII and will have an important role in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.

Each of the Elite DeepGround commanders (otherwise known as the Tsviets) in Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII are named after a colour, and usually have a title next to their name that reflects their named colour, with one exception.

Tsviet is based on the Russian zvet for colour.

Azul the Cerulean's name and title are based on the colour blue. Azul is Spanish/Portuguese for blue.

Rosso the Crimson has her name meaning red in Italian.

Shelke the Transparent has no colour in her title, but her name means 'orange' in Urdu, a language spoken in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Nepal. Her eyes sometimes glow this colour, and is also the colour of her EM sabers.

Nero the Sable. Nero, of course, means 'black' in Italian, but 'sable' is a word used mostly in heraldry for black backgrounds.

Weiss the Immaculate. Weiss is German for 'white' (pronounced 'vice'), and Immaculate meaning pure (as in pure white).

In Chocobo Racing, if you beat the game (story) 2 times, you will race against Squall Leonhart (FFVIII). If you beat him, you will unlock this character.

Also, you can unlock other characters if you beat the game more than 2 times, for example Cactuar, Moomba, Airship, . . .

In Twilight Princess[I've never played it] there's a character with a Bullet Bill on him. o.O

Super Mario Bros. was named first "Jump Man"

In SSBM, Mr. Game & Watch can throw sasauges. I never used him though.

Mario has a cap and a mustache, because his creators didn't want problems with making expressions and hair movement.

In Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, there is a Dragoon weapon called "Kain's Lance" that "once belonged to a legendary Dragoon" referring to Kain Highwind (FFIV).

The Cave Palace in FFXII is hard...

The affair regarding Jack Thompson's bashing of Rockstar and the Hot Coffee incident are both spoofed in GTA: Liberty City Stories.

In one of the missions with Maria, she asks Toni if he wants to join her for some "coffee". Toni considers it (knowing what she means), but declines.

If you listen to the radio, ads are played for a fictional group of people who want to ban the Internet. They are known as Citizens United Negating Technology For Life And People's Safety. I'll let you figure out the acronym for that one.

To duplicate a weapon in Final Fantasy IV, first have it equipped as you enter battle. When it's the character who has the item to be duplicated equipped, use the Item command. Scroll down and select a blank space FIRST, then scroll all the way up until it displays the equipment on both arms. Select the weapon, and it'll appear to be removed. Exit this menu, and run away from the battle. Access the menu screen and re-equip the item you just removed in battle. When you see it listed on the Item menu as you equip it, it'll show that you have 2 of it. Equip it, then remove it again. You'll send one of the weapon back to the Item menu, while the other is still equipped!

You can play music from the Sega CD version of Sonic CD by inserting it into a regular CD player.
