Notes
- Partial Nintendo 3DS lotcheck spreadsheet refers to LEGO抽出CTRdata.xls in Documents/セキュリティチーム運営/プロジェクト/Knock_And_Talk_directcnotact/報奨金制度/ in the "Documents.7z" Nintendo leak that happened on 21 December 2020. Despite the name, its not just LEGO games, although there is a page focused on those, and non-LEGO games are hidden, but not removed, from the CTR page. The most recent games that can be found in the spreadsheet are from around the middle of 2013.

atlas | Halo 3: ODST | Xbox 360, Xbox One, Windows | September | 2009 | Internal tag names | Example tag: levels/atlas/h100/h100.scnr is the hub level. Halo follows a consistent folder structure. Halo 3 used levels/solo and levels/multi for campaign and multiplayer levels respectively, with levels/dlc being for dlc levels. ODST follows the same route using levels/atlas for any ODST specific levels. | |
omaha | Halo: Reach | Xbox 360, Xbox One, Windows | September | 2010 | Internal tag names | Example tags: ui/chud/bitmaps/waypoints_omaha and sound/game_sfx/ui/omaha_ui/exit_experience/rank_up | |

groundhog | Halo 2: Anniversary Multiplayer | Xbox One, Windows | November | 2014 | Game folder and dll within Halo: The Master Chief Collection | Every game in Halo: The Master Chief Collection has their own folder with in the install directory, most games being their shipping name with no spaces, (eg: haloreach), Halo 2: Anniversary Multiplayer however keeps its codename of groundhog as the install folder. | |

Shiva and Olympus seem to be used interchangeably, while Olympus is also the code name of the default armor core in multiplayer as seen on ArtStation, as well as "Project Olympus" being used on a pre-vis developer video. It's confusing. | |

K4 | Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards | N64 | March | 2000 | From internal music filenames (006K4DEMOSIMOBE1, 010K4FIELD1, etc.), product code (K4) | "Kirby 4". Commonly considered a spiritual sequel to Kirby's Dream Land 3, this would suggest the developers also thought of it as such. | |

"GCK" is presumed to be "GameCube Kirby", referring to the game's earliest iteration; "KbyW" is likely "Kirby Wii".
