Trivia[]
- The textures for the artwork in Corruption mysteriously features the IGN logo in artwork of the Gunship.[1] This may indicate that Retro used a copy of the artwork from IGN, and not from their own files. A similar error was made in Metroid Fusion: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide, where the Metroid Database logo was featured on the box art of Super Metroid in the guide.
