Speaking of Mandark's Lab, remember that season 4 episode of Dexter's Laboratory with the three segments focusing on Mandark? That episode has a special version of the intro in which Mandark was the one who plugged in the light display instead of Dee Dee, and the lights were redone to say "Mandark's Laboratory". The game should have just used that intro instead of just crossing the "Dexter" out from the title of the regular intro.

Other fun "game patches before patches" shenanigans: Super Paper Mario in Europe had an (easy avoidable, thankfully) bug that would crash the Wii if you talked to a certain character at the wrong time. Nintendo basically just went "I guess we'll send you a copy that fixes this bug if you really care about it." Metroid: Other M had a bug that would cause a certain door to close in and area and leave the player trapped. Nintendo's solution was to literally ask players to mail in an SD card with their save file on it so that they could send it back with the fix applied. (Skyward Sword had a similar bug, which Nintendo fixed with the slightly more sensible option of putting up an app on the Wii Shop that fixed it) Bubble Bobble Revolution had a completely inescapable glitch that would cause the boss in Level 30 to never spawn, leaving the level unbeatable and the game completely impossible. Codemasters, who published in NA, ordered a recall and shipped replacement copies (a process which took them like, ten weeks) though they at least threw in Rainbow Islands as a bonus.
