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

What the!?
I think User:Smashfan should be blocked cuz he added a youtube video on something other than his talkpage!

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)


 * I don't think we're supposed to count user-made content. Pikawil 08:29, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

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.
 * The item "mason" looks like Luigi!

SBCG4AP
In the fifth episode of the game "Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People" there's a reference to the original Donkey Kong. At one point in the game the real world and the video game world get fused together and many characters think that they are characters from video games from the company Videlectrix. The Character Marzipan, who was helping another character, Bubs, fix up his concession stand thinks she is "Lady Crate Ape". She climbs on top of the stand, jumps a few times to knock over the scaffolding around the stand, and begins throwing crates around.
 * Don't be shy. You don't need to mention it on the talk page. Just add it to the article.

SSX on Tour
Where the hell is SSX on Tour??!!!
 * I removed it.
 * Why? --
 * When I removed it, I planned to create an article for it. But seeing how great a job I did for the other article, I didn't create it.
 * Well if you didn't create it then put the information back. --

Rewrite
Compared to the other articles, this one needs to be rewriten, or at least edited to make it look more like a true article. Can someone with a little more time on their hands do this. If not, I'll try to find the time to do it myself.--LuigiBros64
 * This is a LIST, not a regular article.

Formating
Some of the images are misplaced. Can somebody fix them?
 * Done. --King Bean (talk ~ contribs) 10:40, 1 May 2010 (EDT)

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World licensed game
It could potentially be another fat section in the list... Pikawil 08:29, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Their band name, right?--Holyromanemperortatan 19:21, 5 May 2011 (EDT)

What the!
I think User:SmashFan should be blocked cuz he added a youtube video on something other then his userpage!


 * You should have removed it. And users don't get blocked straight away when they do stuff like that - they get a reminder or warning first.

Oh sorry.I forgot.T_T--User:UltraMario3000

Capcom Puzzle World(PSP)
O.K. I just found this while flipping through my cheat code book, anyway I have never played the game but one of the codes is called Super Buster Bros. If anyone has the game it says "At the main menu, highlight Tour Mode, hold the Down button and press X. So anyone with the game, please try it out, but just from the name I can tell it's a reference.--Mr. 8-bit

Seriously,does ANYONE have this game? -- 11:05, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Ace Attorney Investigations 1?
Is a character saying 'Badger GET' (mocking 'shine get') enough to be put on the list?
 * Well, the Ace Attorney series is known for its numerous references, but I think this one would be a little too vague. I am ready to be persuaded otherwise, though. - 19:20, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

Split Densetsu no Stafy 3 from Video game references
SPLIT 11-0

Captain Rainbow, Alleyway, Pinball, Art Style: PiCTOBiTS, Tetris DS. We have articles on these games simply because characters from the Mario series have major roles in those games. So why not Densetsu no Stafy 3 (for some reason translated on the wiki as The Legend of Stafy 3, even though the game never had an official english translation)? From what I can understand (which honestly is not much since I never actually played the game and there's only one video of Wario in DnS3), Wario talks with Stafy, travels with Stafy for a while, and appears in a few levels with Stafy. Hey, if Captain Rainbow has an article because of Birdo's appearance in the game, then I don't see why this game shouldn't have article because of Wario's appearance.

{{scroll box|content= Proposer: {{User|Reversinator}} Deadline: May 19, 2011, 23:59 GMT

Split

 * 1) Per my proposal.
 * 2) i agree completly with him just like Captain Rainbow
 * 3) Per Reversinator.
 * 4) Per comments.
 * 5) I never thought about that.It does deserve an article if captain rainbow and even super smash bros stuff that is un-mario related gets one.
 * 6) - Per Reversinator. Consistency is good.
 * 7) Per proposal
 * 8) Per Reversinator.
 * 9) – Just read your proposal on Talk:Starfy and I agree with this split as long as that article will me merged into this prospective split.
 * 10) per all.
 * 11) - Per him, per her, per all!

Comments
I just need to know descriptivly, what does Wario do in the game?
 * From what I understand, he helps Starfy throughout all of World 8 by attacking enemies and the like. --Reversinator 16:29, 5 May 2011 (EDT)

@Knife: The Starfy article is for the character Starfy. The info about Wario really doesn't belong there. Also, seeing as that Captain Rainbow is a crossover, all the main characters should get articles, like we did with Super Smash Bros. and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. --Reversinator 16:25, 5 May 2011 (EDT) }}
