* TyopOnTheCover: The Great Giana Sisters was originally intended to be titled "The Great '''Gianna''' sisters" (spelled with two n's), and the title screen of the game spells it that way. But due to a typo on the box art, they adopted the misspelling as the official spelling so they wouldn't have to reprint the boxes.
