Talk:List of references in video games

Expect me to add many more sightings to this page soon. --Sml007.5 21:09, 3 October 2006 (EDT)

Megaman ZX
In Megaman ZX, there are two boys that look alot like Mario and Luigi. Is it okay if I point that out?

Having not played the game, I can't say for certain how much they look like Mario and Luigi, but if you think the similarity is significant enough, you can add it in as a cameo.


 * I wouldn't realy call it a cameo, but I can show you a picture. [[Image:Mario ZX.PNG]] Yo yo mom


 * Hmm... They have the correct statures, colors, and even wear overalls... I'd say they count.

Dr. Mario reference in sequel to Brain Age
in the Japan/Europe- exclusive sequel, I think there is a Dr. Mario-style minigame in it what should i call the game. Brain age 2?

Thanks in advance, Ninja_Lucario

Cameo Trash
This article is a mess, that's all I have to say. First of all, Toad's line "Thank you Mario" line is not in Big Brain Academy but Brain Age. Second, SSX on Tour and Nintendo Village are linked to, but they redirect to this exact same page. Third, the Animal Crossing: Wild World items (or at least some of them) also appeared in the original AC, and are never even specified. Fourth, The Simpsons: Hit & Run's mention does not specify what the "switch place" means, or even what Mario game it's from.

I'd go on, but I'm wasting my breath. We really need to clean this place up. --Dodoman

I'll stick on a rewrite template. 01:29, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

Dodoman, it actually is in, but you'd need to have played the game almost daily to have seen it, which I do. :) The minigame "Syllable Count" uses short cute mantras such as "Don't make me turn this car around!" and part of the Declaration of Independence. One of the weirder mentions is "Thank you, Mario, but our princess is in another castle!" As a side note, the professor note that the phrases he's chosen are all very strange.  The phrases change daily, so you only have a slight chance of seeing it if you only play Syllable Count every once in a while.  I do so once every three days.  18:14, 20 October 2007 (EDT)

What kind of order?
I would like to add a visual sighting, but I don't know at which position, because I can't see a logical order. Are the sightings ordered in some way? --Grandy02 13:26, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
 * No, but there should be, perhaps in alphabetical order? And while we're at it, we should get rid of the chart formatting; that way we won't have to deal with those super-stretched and hard-to-read sections like Animal Crossing or the "Resquested Image(s)". - Walkazo

Nintendo Village/SSx Tour
Should have their own articles...
 * Based on what we've done for ISDS and Mario & Sonic, we would have articles for every character in that game, and NBA Street as well... at the bare minimum articles about the games. 00:55, 26 June 2008 (EDT)

Mortal Kombat
Mario is a custom character,right?

Mortal Kombat is teh shizznit. □R.O.B. 128□ 23:01, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

Bully
In the game Bully: Scholarship Edition (I don't own the original and I don't know if the reference is in that one) a character says randomly while walking along "I have yet to become a moustashioed plumber", is this a clear enough reference to Mario to be included?- Zedxclon
 * I believe it was Algie saying "I don't get why some people say video games affect us as I have yet to become a mustachio'd plumber."--GoldenGoomba900 12:49, 18 June 2009 (EDT)

Mirror's Edge
There's a secret Achievement in this game called "Hey,it's-a-Me!".Dose this count as a reference?

Alleyway
Alleyway shouldn't be on this list because it is a Mario game. Should I delete it?

Animal Crossing 1 up
In animal crossing wild world, if the player hits a special rock with a shovel, bells will come out, when the fourth bell bag comes out, it'll make the same sound as when Mario gets an extra life in SMB, should I mention that?

Scribble"nots"
In the Scribblenauts game, the Weegee thing is just one of the memes in the game, along with "keyboard cat," "om nom nom nom," and "all your base are belong to us." It is a reference to the Internet, not Mario.
 * But Weegee originated from Luigi A.K.A. the Mario series. I'm pretty sure I explained that, though.
