There's a thread for geography oddities on a geography site I got to, so I made a thread here for video games. I'll start off with a few Mario related examples.

  • Buzzy Beetles are the only SMB1 enemy to never appear in a 3D Mario game, and Buzzy Beetles and Lakitus are the only two SMB1 enemies not in Super Mario 3D Land even though it has Spinies.
  • Dry Bones is playable in Mario Kart DS but not Koopa Troopa. Koopa Troopa wasn't playable in a handheld Mario Kart until Mario Kart 7.
  • The only numbered SMB3 level the Angry Sun appeared in was 8-2. The Sun level in world 2 had it's own icon.

I help keep these threads updated: New 3DS VC games in Japan, Missing 3DS VC and Wii U VC between regions, and Full of list first party Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Gear games missing from the 3DS VC.

Other M is the only Metroid game that's truly awful.

@SRArter: I didnt know that about the Buzzy Beetle I could have sworn I saw them in SM3DL, but I could be wrong. Interesting stuff indeed. You might want to post those odd facts in this thread http://www.nintendolife.com/forums/retro/things_you_didnt_kno... I am sure some of the people there would enjoy it.
