"Rainbow Cruise" is used in the NA versions of Melee and Brawl too. It also wasn't unlockable.

[@holonboy]

Yeah, it sounds like the video had NA and PAL versions mixed up in the script. NA had Rainbow Cruise, whereas PAL had Rainbow Ride until Ultimate. They even mentioned that Rainbow Cruise is the US version a second later, so it's probably a typo.

[@DarkLink1996.]

1:44 You got this all mixed up. The Japanese version of the Super Mario 64 stage is Rainbow Cruise. The English version is Rainbow Ride. The NA version of Melee called the stage Rainbow Cruise, a mistake fixed in the later PAL release, where it is called Rainbow Ride. Despite this, the NA and PAL versions were split on this for all appearances of the stage and its respective music track. The names matched their version of Melee, except for the NA _demos_ for Brawl, where it was Rainbow Ride. It wasn't until Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that it was globally called Rainbow Cruise, and the track referred to as "Slide (Remix)".

About XD: Gale of Darkness and the playability of Bonsly -- they had to set that stuff up, because the Battle Bingo in the game is basically using the normal combat sequence for the attacks between mons, so it only makes sense they made a functional setup for bonsly for that purpose. This was also, like Lucario in the Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team games (Red and Blue) a cameo of a gen 4 pokémon in a gen 3 game, as Diamond and Pearl weren't out until a year after XD hit the US (Japan got those two about the time Red and Blue Rescue Teams came out in the US).

That is kinda odd. The console did have its own proprietary disc format developed as a means of cramming over a gig of data onto a single disc, after all. I'd like to think they could've found a way to cram all that data onto one GD-ROM if given the time/resources when porting.
