#52> In the process I also learned that the cover of Kirby Air Ride changed between the Japanese and international releases. The Japanese cover art features a smiling happy Kirby where the international cover has Kirby with a furrowed brow and serious look. This is not the first Kirby game to have its cover art changed to look more serious and "gritty" for the US release; in fact, TV Tropes named a page after this pheno…
The extreme version of this is the game Nier where they completely replaced the protagonist. The Japanese version had a kid trying to save his sister while the western version had a old man trying to save his daughter.
Japan got both versions - kid on PS3 (Replicant), old man on 360 (Gestalt).

Looks like iceberg lettuce to me, which I (facetiously) argue isn't really lettuce, so... shrug . :-)
I would be interested in hearing such an argument
The two word description for iceberg lettuce is “crunchy water”. Works great when you want the crunch and nothing else. So perfect for sandwiches or a classic wedge salad where you are tasting the bacon and blue cheese.
People who think it can be used for a “real” salad are usually same ones that think that tomatoes are supposed to be tasteless too.

The American Mega/RockMan NES box art is what always comes to mind for me. All 6(!) of the games got pretty bad box arts, but the 1st is an iconic rush-job attempt to make him more mature and badass: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/q/238841

#57> Have you ever noticed that the food graphics in Super Smash Bros. and Kirby Air Riders is flat “billboarded” stock images of food? I have not... A video showing what it's talking about would have been a good addition to this article.

#58The article misses the "Super-spicy curry" item that appeared in Brawl (and maybe Air Ride?). I think that's also a billboard.
Oooh! I need to look into this... thanks for the tip.
