Always think that the protagonist of Beneath a Steel Sky had a Chaplin moustache:
Instead it was just a sprite limitation:

I always figured this was intentional. The angry-looking backside face is a way to ward off predators.
This is the most confusing thing I've ever seen. What is going on??
It's this, right? 👇
But earlier someone said this is wrong??
Morrigan help me
HOLY SHIT. I never caught that reference.
I always read it as his face turning red from embarrassment.![]()
This just looked weird, can't remember exactly how I saw it, maybe like he had his mouth wide open and a duck was coming out of it?
Right now it just looks like his face is on fire or maybe his eyes are bleeding

Saw the same thing when I was a kid.As a kid I somehow interpreted Ho-Oh's eye socket as its beak, the actual beak as a claw and the space between the comb and its neck as its actual eye. Please, somebody tell me I'm not crazy.

Phew. What a relief!
Oh my god, he's not a black guy?I thought when I was younger that he was black and the eyes were his beard, and the blue above his face a bandana.
There had to be a portrait in game that showed him as a ninja but I feel like I had that idea of him the whole playthrough
Always thought the Bullet Bill from Super Mario Bros. was smiling but it's actually its arm. I still can't unsee it tbh.

I thought the same up until I read thisWow, I'm watching Easy Allies stream Trials of Mana and just realized what the dwarves are for the first time

I always thought that the skull helmet covered their whole head and they looked through the eye holes -- the skin-colored batch of pixels in the middle would be their lower jaw beneath the skull mask.
That skin cluster is their nose, and what I thought was their chest armor is actually their mustache and beard. It's really messing with me.
There are like 9 threads this could've gone into.
People see Abobo (Double Dragon) having a mustache, whether thin or thick.
While I can see that, but I mainly see him with big frowning face because it seems better for him to not have a facial hair.

Here's two dumb ones that I bothered to MSpaint
The item "box" in Snowboard Kids had that thing on top

It's supposed to be a mini version of the dog shopkeeper

Best I could make out was some horrible goblin face. I had no idea what else it could be and I couldn't see it any other way

Then in Mega Man 5 you have these missle enemies

That's supposed to be a pair of angry eyes in the center there

I never noticed those eyes and thought I was looking at some sort of dopey conehead robot that had amputated arms and detailed chest area for some reason.
