** Another case is the music that plays when Kirby transform. In Japanese, the music is very cheerful and upbeat, while the dubbed version is a much more epic-sounding heroic fanfare.

Actually, there are men in the United States who love the color of pink, too!


Other things that are likely to be changed by this trope are reducing how pink things appear (pink is neutral in Japan, but [[PinkMeansFeminine feminine]] in America, which [[GirlShowGhetto once more causes negative associations]]) and reducing {{Minimalis|m}}tic art to depict more action-y scenes.

Other things that are were likely to be changed by this trope are during the late 80's - 2000's were by reducing how pink things appear appeared (pink is neutral in Japan, but in America, it was a different story back then, for its culture used to see it as being strictly [[PinkMeansFeminine feminine]] in America, which [[GirlShowGhetto once more causes negative associations]]) feminine and reducing girly]] until the 2010's when it slowly but surely embraced pink colors as a positive case of [[RealMenWearPink real men wearing pink]]) and by way of exchanging {{Minimalis|m}}tic art to depict in favor of more action-y scenes.

* Inverted with ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'': The Japanese trailers play up the action and drama; the North American trailers play up the comedy. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7whe0hr.jpg The Japanese poster focuses more on Judy's goal to becoming a cop]] while other posters for the film focuses on the comedic elements or mostly filled with various mammals of Zootopia.

* [[https://www.iotaproduction.be/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Brendan-et-le-secret-de-Kells-affiche.jpg The French publicity posters]] for ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfKells'' is much more action-oriented (having the main characters in dynamic poses with Brendan looking determined) than the subtle, reserved posters the rest of the world got (Aisling's face gently smiling, mostly hidden by leaves).

* Inverted with the ''Literature/DeathtrapDungeon'' reprint in Japan. While the first Japanese version of the classic ''Literature/FightingFantasy'' gamebook was the same, the reprint went in a [[https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2015/6/18/deathtrap-dungeon-not-entirely-pleased-by-japans-moe-presentation-of-adventure-gamebook very moe direction]].

The "movie" was originally sold as a two-episode miniseries in Japan, with the [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/6/6f/Journey_to_Eggmanland_vhs.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130215164700 first episode's boxart]] featuring Sonic, Tails, Sara, and Metal Robotnik[=/=]Black Eggman striking poses while the [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/2/2a/Sonic_vs._Metal_Sonic_vhs.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130215164808 second episode's boxart]] prominently features Sonic and Metal Sonic duking it out.

* Inverted for ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'''s debut in Japan. In order to turn it into a prequel to the [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries live-action movies]] ([[LyingCreator or so we thought]]), among other things, a new logo looking almost exactly like the film logos was commissioned, [[http://www.tv-aichi.co.jp/TF-animated/ which practically clashes with the show's cartoony art style]]. And to think that Japan once played this straight with ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' by {{gag dub}}bing the edgy ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''.

* Spoofed by Creator/{{Nitroplus}}. On the launch date of ''VisualNovel/SoniComi'', a cute visual novel that looks [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIIUeI6WB6I like this]], the company released [[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16261803 this joke trailer]] for a made-up Americanized sequel, created using ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'' gameplay videos.
* In Japan, the DS cover of the first ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' game is the same as the rest (including in North America, starting with the second game): [[https://aceattorney.fandom.com/wiki/File:AA1_DS_Box_Art_Japan.jpg Four portraits of the main characters in a row.]] The first game's North American cover, though, is a picture of [[http://aceattorney.wikia.com/wiki/File:AA_cover_art.png Phoenix pointing angrily]], with Maya standing behind him and [[EvilOverlooker Edgeworth evilly overlooking them]]. However, the series started using the "four portraits in a row" format with the second game, ''Justice For All'' (see [[http://aceattorney.wikia.com/wiki/File:JFA_Box_Art.png this image]] from [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]]), and every ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' game released there since has done the same. And the European one is Phoenix standing in front of a white background, looking serious. Same trope, blander cover. Later games retained the Japanese covers too.
* ''VisualNovel/HotelDuskRoom215'' and its sequel, ''[[VisualNovel/LastWindow Last Window: The Secret of Cape West]]''. The Japanese cover of ''Hotel Dusk'' is a [[https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/3/31089/1416859-933043_83255_front.jpg wide shot]] of main character Kyle Hyde and his car on a country road in broad daylight. The western cover goes for a [[http://ilarge.lisimg.com/image/343111/1000full-hotel-dusk%3A-room-215-cover.jpg more Noir feel]], depicting Kyle in a pitch black room while a woman in white brings in light through an open door. ''Last Window'' has the same idea, but simpler; a shot of Kyle walking in the street [[https://romsmania.com/statics/assets/covers/nintendo-ds/last-window-mayonaka-no-yakusoku-(jp)(storm)-nintendo-ds.jpg during the day]] is changed to [[https://images.nintendolife.com/games/ds/last_window_the_secret_of_cape_west/cover_large.jpg night time]], giving it a more threatening atmosphere.
