* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' uses a cyphered alphabet with a spiral-inspired motif, likely inspired by the shape of conch shells. Given this alphabet's rare usage--visible only in the Gelato Beach, Noki Bay, and Pinna Park regions of Isle Delfino--the cyphering for this alphabet was so strong, [[https://youtu.be/H1CNpu4fguI it took nearly 22 full years to decode]].
