Localizations (the best and worst)
#24
King Dedede's voice being an imitation of Foghorn Leghorn. Escargoon's sounding like Paul Lynde, all because he was ambiguously gay.
And Meta Knight only having a Spanish accent due to the guitar that played when he appeared. Yay, stereotypes!

I guess you could say Sonic X was just as bad. Including how everyone reacted when the cast replaced the originals for the games in 2005.
Pretty much everyone agrees Mike Pollock was the only good voice actor out of all of them, which is probably why he's still voicing Dr. Eggman.
Dan Green, as cool as he his, didn't work as Knuckles. All I could hear was an angry Yami Yugi trying to sound like Knux's previous voice actor.
Amy was bad as well due to how Lisa Oritz uses the same voice for every character she's been.

One oddity was localizations made later with everything completely redrawn. Such as that Jetsons game for SNES.
The Japanese version replaced everything with characters from an obscure manga called Youkai Buster Ruka.
Crazy Castle is another example. The Japanese version had Roger Rabbit characters while the English versions had Looney Tunes.
And believe it or not. Decap Attack is actually a redrawn version of a licensed game based on the anime Magical Hat.

There's also a mediocre Game Boy game that was modified in all three regions. Only changing the playable character sprites and nothing else.
US - The Real Ghostbusters, with Peter Venkman as the playable character. Has little to do with Ghostbusters at all.
PAL - Garfield Labyrinth. Fortunately, Sega made a better Garfield game in 1995 for both MegaDrive and Windows.
JPN - Mickey Mouse.
