History Trivia / ForTheFrogTheBellTolls

* FanEdit: ROM-hacker and Website/YouTube user [[https://www.youtube.com/user/toruzz Iván Delgado]], who also colorized ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand2SixGoldenCoins'' has spent over a year working on a rather impressive colorization project for the game. Dubbed ''For the Frog the Bell Tolls DX'' and inspired by the official full-color re-releases of [[VideoGame/WarioLandII several]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening notable]] [[VideoGame/{{Tetris}} titles]] for the original Game Boy, the project modifies the game based on how Delgado believes it would look if it were a UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor game. Colorization hacks are common, but aren't always good, so the current high-quality results of the project have earned it acclaim from people both inside and outside the source game's fanbase. As of this writing, the colorization project is still under development.

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: This happened with three characters, at different points in time in different games. Prince Richard made his Western debut in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'' (accompanied by this game's RecurringRiff and lots and lots of frogs) within a year of this game's release, and Dr. Arewo Stein made his Western debut in ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'' (which features him as yet another object thrown by Wario to activate switches) nearly a decade after this game's release. Not long after the game itself turned 20 years old, the main character, the Prince of Sablé himself, appeared in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros for UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS'' and ''UsefulNotes/WiiU'' as an Assist Trophy, putting him in a situation similar to that of the TropeNamer, sans an official localization for his debut game.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: An official DX remake was announced for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor, but was soon cancelled, which may have been what inspired the FanEdit described above.

* PropRecycling: Some sprites and sound effects and the font are reused in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening''. Both games even run on the same engine.
