Okay #13 was guessed, but #12 wasn't. Extra hint plus moving on to #11.
#13: This game features an item of which sound and use are the same as in another game from another series featuring the same item.
Hint 2: So is the graphic that accompanies it on use; a tornado flies across the screen. Guessed by TruckOSaurus - Super Mario Bros. 3
#12: When you fully complete a level and go the hall of fame, many of those there ridicule you because you're not really the hero you were given credit for.
Hint 2: Which is true, on the final battle, you took an arrow to the eye (I think) right as it began, dying then and there.
#11: Elvis syndrome.
