Staten Island in Dragon Warrior III

It's going to come off as mild lunacy to complain about an 8-bit map of New York's accuracy, but come on. Staten Island is way closer to New Jersey than it is to Brooklyn. We all know that. It's so far away from Manhattan and Brooklyn, in fact, that no MTA train goes there (the SIR doesn't count, thanks so much). It's altogether plausible that the only reason Staten Island is a "borough" is because in the olden times of shipping, it was important to have both sides of the Verrazano Narrows in order to not split the transit taxes with New Jersey. Whatever.
