Line 263:
 
== E ==
* ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]''
** Porky to Pokey (and back again in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'')
** Gyiyg to Giygas
Line 455:
** Takuan to Bomber Bob
** Shinobi to Little Ninja
* The [[Kirby]] anime: First the title: [[Kirby: ofRight theBack Starsat Ya!|Hoshi no Kirby]] (often translated as Kirby of the Stars) to ''[[Kirby Right Back At Ya]]''. Then:
** The main areas. Pupu Village became Cappytown and Pupupuland became Dreamland. The latter is done in the games as well, and so the change of Pupu Village to Cappytown isn't too far-fetched either, considering the whole town is populated mostly by cappies!
** Fumu to Tiff
Line 563:
 
== N ==
* ''Nekketsu Ko-ha [[Kunio -Kun|Kunio-kun]]'' to ''Renegade'' (the westernized characters were left nameless in the arcade game, but the NES port gave the player and the four bosses proper names)
** Kunio to Mr. K
** Riki to Jack
Line 740:
** Usagi to Serena
** Mamoru Chiba to Darien Shields (the surname only appeared in the Mixx manga)
*** Prince Endymion to Prince Darien (and later King Endymion to "King of the Earth"). This one caused a [[Dub -Induced Plot Hole]] in the anime.
** Ami Mizuno to Amy Anderson (though "Mizuno" also appeared during the Cloverway run)
** Rei to Raye
Line 770:
** Leader X to "The Great Spirit" to Computor to Cybercon to Lord Zortek.
** Red Impulse ({{spoiler|Kentaro Washio}}) to Colonel Cronus to Red Impulse again to Harley Harris to Red Spectre.
** Director Anderson was referred to as President Kane in [[Battle of the Planets]], while the G-Force dub [[Dub -Induced Plot Hole|writers couldn't decide if he was "Director Anderson" or "Commander Todd".]] "Anderson" was definitely retained in Saban's ''Eagle Riders'' and the OVA dub though.
** The Galactor syndicate to Planet Spectra back to Galactor to Vorak and then Galactor again.
** ''Eagle Riders'' provided its own slew of name changes to characters exclusive to Gatchaman II and Fighter, the most notable examples being:
Line 798:
** Time Pilfer (T.P.) Lady to Petra Fina
** Many Time shifters
* ''Spartan X'' to ''[[Kung -Fu Master]]'' (unless stated otherwise, all changes are found in the manuals for the home computer ports)
** Sylvia to Princess Victoria
** Strongman to The Giant Kicker or just The Giant (NES)
Line 909:
 
== W ==
* ''[[Wild ArmsARMs XF]]''
** Labryna has changed to Labyrinthia.
