- The Budokan Special is on this list with the unofficial SA Forum label of SP7.
- The Budokan Documentary is a separate episode with the official Fuji TV label of #172.
- The July 2013 Super Mario Bros. LIVE Challenge mentioned in the Budokan episodes is on this list as LE7. This label is what the
- SA Forum was expected to use for it. Errors in the English Wikipedia article could explain its omission from SA-GCCX guides.
- Regarding game developers and GCCX staff members, we have decided to try to stay consistent with how these people romanize
- their own names in their professional lives. Many proper names on this list may differ slightly from how they appear in
- subtitles from the various translation teams. We will continue to deal with all proper names on a case-by-case basis.

- PREMIERE DATES: The daily cutoff time for determining dates in this list is 6:00 JST (6:00 AM).
- This is a slight change to our previous policy of using 4:00 JST. It should have little or no impact on our listings.
- GAME NAMES: Either "Japanese Title (Western Title)" or "Japanese Title (Common Translation)" is how we list most untranslated
- broadcast episodes. After an episode has been translated, we usually adjust our listing to the title used by the translating team.
- In certain cases, such as with thorough rebranding or superficial overseas licensing, alternate titles may be listed in parentheses.
- The original Japanese game titles should be used by default when naming the raw broadcast episodes themselves. For material such as
- Nintendo Channel episodes featuring modern games with concurrent worldwide releases, we will tend to use the Western titles alone.
- * = Not mentioned in SA-GCCX guides ^ = Incorrect details on other lists.
- SA-GCCX doesn't distinguish between regular and "Director's Cut" versions of episodes
- in home video releases. We've decided not to mark those cases as omissions or errors.
- This list uses official Fuji TV numbering for regular episodes and a modified version of SA Forum numbering for other episodes.
- Most specials not mentioned in SA-GCCX guides have been given lettered labels in this list. Some labels may be subject to change.
- New Year's Marathons will be listed in their entirety for any year in which verifiable content listings are available.
- Currently, we're most interested in locating listings for any such marathons that took place during Seasons 15 and 16.
- Arino's Challenge Archives are edited rebroadcasts of early episodes. Challenges featuring games with disputed or expensive
- licenses are usually skipped, so almost all Archives numbers do not correspond to the numbers of the original episodes.
- Archives for certain high-profile Konami games have been cleared to air, but those allowances are considered unusual.
- Confusingly, the cycle of episodes restarted with Archives 47, this time with different licensing restrictions.
- The only Archives episodes that we're including on this list are the ones featured in New Year's Marathons.

- NINTENDO CHANNEL MINI EPISODES [NC]
- This section covers content published through the Nintendo Channel, Nintendo Video and Nintendo eShop online services.
- Starting in late 2013, new releases could be viewed by a worldwide audience on Nintendo's Official Japanese YouTube Channel.
- In June 2020, Nintendo deleted all of its Game Center CX YouTube videos starring Arino. The "Arino's Challenge" playlist
- was renamed to reflect that it now contains only the "Game Center DX" videos starring Arino's comedy partner Hamaguchi.
- Yoiko's gaming web series and guest appearances by Arino or Hamaguchi seem to be unaffected by this mass takedown.
- See the bottom of this section for "Game Center DX" and all episodes in the "Yoiko's ______ ______ Life" web series format.

- YOIKO'S MINECRAFT SURVIVAL LIFE
- In this 2017 web series, Arino and his comedy partner Masaru Hamaguchi took on Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition with participation
- from the public on Twitter. Leading up to each filming date, fans were encouraged to use #よゐクラ to tweet advice and comments,
- influencing the duo's progress as they attempted to survive and thrive in the game. Each season was filmed in several bulk
- sessions to produce the total run of planned episodes, with Arino and Hamaguchi also playing in their free time
- between shoots. The premise of this series is a parody of Yoiko's Desert Island 0-Yen Life specials.
- Fresh off of her departure from Fuji TV and GCCX, Yuko Takeda returned to narrate Yoiko's exploits.
