Gamecube Label Variants - A Visual Guide!
UPDATE: It's been three years, so I thought I'd update this. I have more to add as far as stand alone demos and whatnot.
I’ve never really seen a list of Gamecube Label Variants, so I thought I’d create one. I need NA’s help to add whatever I’m missing.
Please note that sometimes the variant is easier to find then the "Regular" version. (Alphabetized list of everything at the bottom of this post)
The variant discriptions are below each picture. Anyways take a look at my confirmed list so far:

Comments
ETA: Just realized by what you meant by unconfirmed. Well, The Ant Bully is one to add to the unconfirmed list unless you already know there isn't a variant.
Maertens29 - Yep I know what your talking about with Pikman 2, I have that version. I think that cover art is way better by the way. I'm not really looking for outside of the U.S. released though... just to keep things simpler.
There is a variant for Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. Standard cover has a flying Jango Fett, shootin' at fools. The alternate cover has just Jango's helmet.
Yes sir, thats on the list.

Derp. Saw the 'uncomfirmed' Star Wars and didn't read over to the right to see it was for a card and not the alternate insert. <_<

Hmm... Interesting. I know of the Target Metroid Prime and Mario Golf but I've never heard of the Mario Party 4 one. Do you remember did it just have a target logo on it or something. Advertising coupons maybe? I'll have to keep my eye out for this.

Im not exactly sure, it definitely said Target on the front in some form, possibly a pack in with a system

I've spent the last half hour tryng to track this down on ebay or the web with no luck. Not to say that means anything, I've just haven't seen this variant brought up before. Do you remember if it was a sticker on the label or case... or did it look like it was printed directly on the cover insert?

No worries, honest mistake. It happens...

Metroid prime 2 regular release... No napster logo on outside of package.

Needless to say this is a variant, but one that can only be proved if the game is factory sealed

That is true, I've seen a few variants like this before. Theres the one you mentioned. Finding Nemo had a "free movie ticket" on some cases, but it's only a sticker. One of the Bratz games had a "free doll inside" sticker on some of the cases. I'm sure theres a few other examples, but since they are all only stickers I decided not to add them to my list. They deserve honerable mentions though.
Theres also a few 2-disk games that have a 1-disk varaint that deserve mention.... R: Racing and I-Ninja are two games that came in either 1-disk or 2-disk (with Pac-man Vs.) included. I think there are a small handfull of others that are like this but have no difference in cover art.
I can confirm The Haunted Mansion. I have 2 copies of this actually.
Cubix Robots: Showdown (with Bonus DVD) - Confirmed (I have seen it but do not own it)
I-Ninja (With Pacman Vs.) - No alternate cover. Pacman Vs. was in it's own separate cardboard sleeve.
R: Racing Evolution (With Pacman Vs.) - No alternate cover.
Robotech Battlecry (with Free DVD) - Confirmed. I own two.
