When Nintendo puts out a Nintendo Direct and someone speaks Japanese, Europe gets it in Japanese with subtitles while America gets it dubbed over with an American voice.
Refrences to Japan, like rice balls, become western things like sandwiches in the US.
Kirby is always tough and angry on American box art because they don't think you'll buy it if he looks cute and happy.
The SNES got a makeover in the US, becoming blocky and dull because they thought you'd not want it if it was curvy and colourful.

Nintendo seems to think very little of Americans, in my opinion. Everything has to be "cool" and as American as possible as if anything that isn't will terrify you.
