Fun fact: The Japanese version of God of War (2005) corrects the colors of Oracle of Athens' clothes
Other than censoring her design in the Japanese version, the colors of Oracle of Athens' clothes from God of War (2005) is corrected in the pre-rendered cutscenes to match the in-game model. From light blue with white stripes to green with gold stripes. As well as removing a green transparency error in one of the cutscenes from her face
Were the gameplay elements of Super Mario Bros. 2 that were included in Super Mario Bros. 3 came before or after the decision of reskinning Doki Doki Panic?
A strange question but I'll explain: SMB2:The Lost Levels was released in 1986 and shortly after Nintendo started the development of SMB3. While they're working on SMB3, Nintendo of America told the Japanese branch that they can't release TLL in North America because of difficulty, graphics, etc... So they decided to reskin Doki Doki Panic and turn it into SMB2/USA.
Here's the interesting part: Both SMB2&SMB3 came out in 1988 (North America for SMB2, Japan for SMB3), meaning that they were working on both games simultaneously. Also the fact that Doki Doki Panic was made by the same team as SMB1&TTL.
SMB3 includes elements from SMB2 like throwing enemies such as Koopas and Bomb-Ombs, entering doors, vertical climbing and screen scrolling, going from one side of the screen and appearing on the other (like in W5-2), Bomb-Ombs (enemies that were originally for Doki Doki, not Mario), and few others.
Were these added before or after the decision of turning Doki Doki into SMB2? Or the always wanted to add these elements after the release of Doki Doki Panic?
