News flash! The Trivia Tab is now open on Troper Island. You can read examples of "tropes" that aren't really examples of tropes used in storytelling. Thanks for watching!
- Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: Fell victim to this as gaming media misreported a Game-Breaking Bug being patched out as a Gay Option glitch being patched. It was actually a completely unrelated glitch that made the game unplayable that got patched out, whereas any form of Gay Option seen online was just making male characters as female miis and vice versa.
- Fan Translation: An English fan translation exists for Tomodachi Collection. It's incomplete due to things other than Miis' speech still being in Japanese (which is said to have been one of the biggest things preventing Nintendo itself from localizing the game), however, such as how only text was changed (since building labels contain graphics, they're still mostly in Japanese) and the text often reads like a "Blind Idiot" Translation.
- Hey, It's That Sound!: The music
that plays when watching a dream in the original Tomodachi Collection uses the famous 808 Cowbell sound. - Killer App: In Japan, selling over 400,000 copies and increasing 3DS sales by over double the week before release at 57,089.
- No Export for You: The original Tomodachi Collection never got a Western localization. Apparently, a big reason for this was that they couldn't get the text-to-speech to work right for English and other languages.
- Urban Legend of Zelda:
- Some who don't play the game think that you can give tissues, one of the many Shop Fodder items in the game, to sad Miis so that they feel better. In reality, Miis can only receive tissues (along with any other treasures) if you tell a Mii who's in love to give them as a present when asking another Mii out; otherwise their only purpose is to be sold.
- A pretty grizzly one related to the song "Adeline", a sad sounding piano piece found only in the Japanese and Korean versions of the game, is that it is involved in a scene where a Mii reports to the player that they had a miscarriage—some details vary, such as it including some chilling dialogue, or being only in one of the many localized versions of the game (usually strictly the Japanese version), or just being an unused song or, on a lighter note, a song that could be played on a beta Piano gift that was supposedly in the beta version of the game, but all of these are incorrect. Adeline is simply a song used in the Japanese and Korean versions of the Compatibility Tester; it is indeed used, it isn't strictly in the Japanese version (though it is quite close), and it should go without saying that miscarriages don't exist in the game.
