Random Fact # 4, 741
In early development of "Sonic Unleashed", the character of Chip was going to be called "Whip", in reference to Whipped Cream, an early design motif for him. This was changed to "Chip", as "Whip" has negative connotations in English, such as whipping someone, or the injury known as whiplash.

Random Fact # 4, 740 During Production of "Sonic Heroes", there were a different number of Teams considered. While Team Sonic and Team Chaotix are mostly the same, Rouge would have been on Team Rose with Amy & Cream. Big would have partnered with Chaos and a rebuilt E-102 Gamma from "Sonic Adventure". Metal Sonic would be on a team with Classic Characters, Mighty The Armadillo & Ray the Squirrel. Fang the Hunter, Bark the Polar Bear, Bean would have also formed a team, in what has been nicknamed; "Team Hooligan". When the decision to bring Shadow back was made, Rogue was partnered up with him with the Gamma similar Omega pieced together in Team Dark, with Big going to Team Rose. It wouldn't be until "Sonic Mania" where Mighty & Ray would make their official returns to games, and while Fang, Bark & Bean do appear as Illusions in the same game, Fang would make his official game return in "Sonic Superstars". Did You Know that, Pups? Hmm. If Rouge ended up on Team Rose, would she have been the strength member of the team?

Random Fact #4743: If you have seen any of the Kung Fu Panda movies, you would have known that the Furious 5 were crucial characters for the story. They all had roles in the first three movies, but only appeared for a cameo guest spot at the end of Kung Fu Panda 4. Some writers and animators were lobbying for their inclusion, but they were only added once the marketing department told them that they needed the Furious 5 in the movie that they were added as a last-minute addition. Co-Director Stephanie Stine said the reason why they do not appear more in the fourth movie simply boiled down to the fact their original voice actors were some A-list stars and they were trying to watch the budget; their original voices were done by Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, David Cross, Lucy Liu and Jackie Chan. She went on to say that one of the producers let her know that even a single line of dialogue from Angelina Jolie would have been $20 million. www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/1595294-kung-fu-panda-4-marketing-department-ordered-the-furious-fives-cameo?fbclid=IwAR2ryw0hVhiMLQX3if6i90Ahhaaqjkl2-D6S5FOFbGOMkDb15ywO6vVDpPs

Yes, and I changed it to be correct. So now allow me to present:
Random Fact #4745:
The special day that we call "MAR10 Day" was a fan-coined special day that many Super Mario Bros. fans created. The name was started on March 10th, 2015 as "March 10th" could shortened to "MAR10" to spell Mario's name. For that time fans say anything Mario is welcome, be it cosplaying, playing the games or throwing a party.
This was a day that the suits at Nintendo would adopt as sales would go on through their website during that time.

Random Fact #4749
When Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway first opened in Walt Disney World in March 2020, McDonald’s had a Happy Meal toy promotion for the ride that consisted of Mickey and his friends (in their Paul Ruddish style) riding in vehicles from various different rides from Walt Disney World. The cars could all be connected to make a train. The toys also came with little tickets that had QR codes that would lead to a website where people could win prizes including trips to Walt Disney World. However, there was a reported glitch in the website forcing McDonald’s to recall all the tickets so that Disney could fix the issue with the site. Unfortunately, they never brought the tickets back during the month of the promotion since Disney World had closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic during that month.

Random Fact # 4, 750
When Britt Alcroft was developing "Shining Time Station", and in turn, bringing "Thomas The Tank Engine" Series to the US, she did want to address the criticism that there were not much female representation in the Series, and so required more lady engines. One of the possible ideas she considered to address this would be to change the character of Edward into a lady engine called Alice. Alcroft ultimately decided against it, to keep it a close to the Reverend Awdry's original stories as she could. It would not be another couple of years before Emily would become the first recurring female engine in the Series, opening the door for more characters afterwards.

On the 1999 Thomas Wooden Railway Toy description, as well as the 2003 Series Bible, Rusty is referred to as female.

Random Fact # 4, 754
Originally, the Adamantium Claws of Marvel's Wolverine were not suppose to be part of his Skeleton, but rather part of his gloves, which are also made of Adamantium. Wolverine was also suppose to be a Teenager, so when he joined the X-Men, he was the same age as the others. However, when Artist, Dave C0ckrum, was the first to draw him unmasked, he had a much ol'er look, so Wolverine being a full adult became part of his character.

Random Fact #4,755
In 1988 Jaguar won both the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with its Castrol-backed IMSA team and Silk Cut-backed world championship squads both using the Jaguar XJR-9 prototype racers to break Porsche's winning streaks of three years at Daytona and seven years at Le Mans. The team gained the knowledge needed to win both races by testing at an unlikely location, the giant Talladega Superspeedway oval track best known for hosting NASCAR races. Jaguar took the XJR-9 to Talladega to shack it down for the Daytona race and learned lessons to improve its endurance that paid off at both Daytona and Le Mans.
