The title screen for Gyromite reads "Robot Gyro."  I didn't even see the word "Gyromite" anywhere in the game.  What's the story behind this?

I'm pretty sure it's the Famicom title.  I'd assume the reason it's the same is because some Gyromite releases were actually Famicom boards connected to a Famicom-to-NES converter, so those without the converter were just left with the same title.  Stack-Up, if I'm not mistaken, is also called Robot Block on the title screen, again, the Famicom title as far as I know (and all Stack-Ups had the converter inside the cartridge, so that makes sense again).
