* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: Giygas never actually said "I feel... h...a...p...p...y...", although many people quote him on this. He said "I'm h...a...p...p...y..." and "I feel... g... o... o... d..." but he never actually said "I feel... h...a...p...p...y...".
* [[Crack is Cheaper]]: [http://earthboundcentral.com/2012/02/piece-of-cardboard-only-109/ This is really all there is to say on the matter]. Once more for emphasis: '''''The game's CARDBOARD INSERT was put up for over $100.'''''
* [[Development Hell]]: It went through a shorter but just as dangerous version of the trope. The developers struggled to make progress on the game even four years into its development, as it was riddled with bugs and was nowhere near completion. Enter former president of Nintendo Satoru Iwata, who started the game's programming over from scratch^, fixing most of the team's problems in a month, and completing its development altogether in just six months.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: The ''Tengi Makyou''/''Far East Of Eden'', which shares this series offbeat humour, with hilarious writings, taking place in a fictional Japan based on exagerrated conceptions by the west. The fourth one even takes place in a fictional America, with hilarious results. The first game appeared after ''MOTHER'', in 1989. It unfortunately shares its [[No Export for You]] status.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: One of the most infamous and bemoaned examples in gaming, [[Epileptic Trees|generally attributed to]] being mired in legal issues as a result of background music with blatant samples of [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]], [[Our Gang]], and [[The Cars|Ric Ocasek]], and an enemy that was inspired by the work of [[Salvador Dali]]. As a result, even used boxless copies of the game [[Crack is Cheaper|go for astronomical prices]] on eBay.
* [[No Export for You]]: None of the ''MOTHER'' games have been released in Europe. And of the three ''MOTHER'' games, only this, the second, was released in the US, and even then only once.
