A very rough proof of concept to display character sprites (through names for now) with the corresponding text.

Concept for the new UtK2 Text Editor UI, with character sprite names and corresponding text displayed side by side

In Donkey Kong 64, the Giant Spider miniboss can only be fought once. Modifying the game to fight it a second time makes it unceremoniously explode. While this appears to be a glitch, examining the code reveals it was actually deliberately added for the developers' own amusement.

A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.

Super Mario Strikers and Mario Strikers Charged contain a threatening comment in the code for the shot accuracy variable: "DO NOT TOUCH THIS NUMBER MIKE INGLEHART". Ironically, the number has in fact been touched, since it was cut in half between the two games.

The kiosk demo of Mario Kart DS contained "Flesh Trucks" due to a spelling error. While the error was fixed in the final version, looking at the preview image for GCN Mushroom Bridge very closely shows that the truck still has an L. As such, the memory of the Flesh Truck remains.

The text editor is finally in a state where I am happy enough to publish a new (working) version. Updated the repo with the final base version. As is, a .NET 9 runtime is required, if a fully contained executable is needed, i can provide one as well. github.com/levathian1/U...

More work done on the text editor, temporary names have been added in, only displaying ingame text files, and choosing the ROM to load through a dialogue option is also done. Padding on save, adding in the actual level names & clean up and correct attributions where needed are remaining

Now have similar behaviour to Tinke 🎉. Can load text files straight from the ROM. This was done by reading through both gbatek's documentation & Tinke's implementation to understand how the offsets work. Next up is displaying only the text files to avoid being able to decode the other ones.

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.
