* AdaptedOut: ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade'' changed the title of the game to ''World Champion Soccer'' because they were unable to secure licensing rights with the [[UsefulNotes/TheWorldCup FIFA World Cup]]. The table artwork was heavily altered to remove every trace of FIFA imagery, from the trophy to the Striker mascot, replacing them with [[CaptainErsatz stand-ins]] where necessary. The flyer and DMD animations were mostly untouched, but direct references to the World Cup were cut.

** Striker was also slightly redrawn on the backglass, including a different colored nose, the "USA" on his soccer uniform has been removed and now has a green color scheme, the ears were altered to be the same color as his fur, and the FIFA trophy in his hand was doctored to look more generic. The whole thing looks more like a creep [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct bootleg]] compared to the original. Thankfully, his appearances in the DMD animations remain untouched and the flyer remains intact for historic purposes.
** Many FIFA World Cup and Striker references and imagery were also scrubbed from the playfield.
