Above Left: Notice the restrooms have Japanese lettering on them! (Okay, it's very tough to see...you have to look closely.) UPDATE 04/27/08: Seems to be some controversy over this one. To me, it looked like squished down Kanji or Katakana (not a real expert on Japanese writing, am I?), but others have told me they think they're just "woman" and "man" symbols. If that's true, then whoever made those has an even weirder perspective on what men and women look like than whoever invented the normal bathroom symbols. Above right: You know, I often wondered about these strange red trucks with a picture of a walking (running?) stick on them. They only appear in a few rare spots, and much less frequently than other vehicles in the game. I thought there may be some significance to them, but as it turns out, these were Coca-Cola trucks in the Japanese version of Earthbound (called "Mother 2"). But the Coke symbol (that white swishy thing) was removed and replaced with the walking stick.
