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?
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yo yo mom (talk).

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. Phoenix Rider

I wouldn't realy call it a cameo, but I can show you a picture. Yo yo mom

Hmm... They have the correct statures, colors, and even wear overalls... I'd say they count. YELLOWYOSHI398

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.Knife (talk) 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. Stumpers! 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...Δ ΔΔ Δ

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. Stumpers! 00:55, 26 June 2008 (EDT)

Mortal Kombat

Mario is a custom character,right?

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? Dark Lakitu 789

Alleyway

Alleyway shouldn't be on this list because it is a Mario game. Should I delete it? Fawfulfury65

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?Count Bonsula I need blood...

Scribble"nots"

Platitudinous (talk) 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. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Platitudinous (talk) 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??!!! KS3 (talk)

I removed it. Reversinator (talk)

Why? --Garlic Man (talk)

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. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Well if you didn't create it then put the information back. --Garlic Man (talk)

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. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Formating

Some of the images are misplaced. Can somebody fix them? Hello, I'm Time Turner.

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!
The preceding unsigned comment was added by UltraMario3000 (talk).

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. Mario JC

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-bitFile:Hammerbrolol.gif

Seriously,does ANYONE have this game? -- Mr. 8-bit 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. - Gabumon^(talk) 19:20, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

Split Densetsu no Stafy 3 from Video game references

Template:SettledTPP 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.

Proposer: Reversinator (talk)
Deadline: May 19, 2011, 23:59 GMT

Split

1. Reversinator (talk) Per my proposal.
2. Goomba's Shoe15 (talk) i agree completly with him just like Captain Rainbow
3. Magikrazy51 (talk) Per Reversinator.
4. Zero777 (talk) Per comments.
5. yoshiyoshiyoshi (talk)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. Walkazo (talk) - Per Reversinator. Consistency is good.
7. SWFlash (talk) Per proposal
8. Nicke8 (talk) Per Reversinator.
9. Knife (talk) – 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. Superfiremario (talk) per all.
11. Reddragon19k (talk) - Per him, per her, per all!

Comments

I just need to know descriptivly, what does Wario do in the game? Zero777 (talk)

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)

Minecraft

So I was playing Minecraft, playing with painting, when all of a sudden…

(click)

…this popped up as one of the paintings. I'm pretty sure that it's 100m painting from the first Donkey Kong. Can I add it as a reference? SWFlash

Cameos at NinDB.net

Here there are a lot of informations --        Sfavillotto (talk) 06:06, 10 January 2012 (EST)

iOS Apps

I don't think these should be listed, there are countless clones of Mario platformers on the App Store (Soosiz, Super World Adventures, Monino)...the list is endless. If we do decide to keep them, theres gonna be quite the list + they aren't really references, just copying a type of gameplay with usage of similar sound effects, sprites, layout, etc. Super-Yoshi^{Talk? C???}

I also just got an app today called iPredict and one of my fortunes was "You will save the princess from the final castle and the Mushroom Kingdom will rejoice!" --Superluigirules 15:54, 9 February 2012 (EST)

Tekken?

OK I just went on the E3 website and saw a screenshot of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and it had MEGA MUSHROOMS in it? This is considered a reference, right? I'm really confused as to why they're there... :/ Mario JC

Never mind, I saw it in the video preview in the E3 video. Mario JC

About the last one...

Uhhh guys... That "Koopa" from Zodathingy does NOT look like a Koopa!!!! -sincerely GoombaWithArms

It resembles a Koopa from the original Mario Bros. games (especially Mario Bros. 3), so yes, it is intended as a reference. Mario JC

Earthworm Jim

I wanted to upload a screenshot of the DK head in Earthworm Jim, but I just joined and don't have upload privileges. Someone wanna upload this? http://s1-02.twitpicproxy.com/photos/full/626973764.png?key=961448 -Milo

did it. --Glowsquid (talk) 20:50, 29 July 2012 (EDT)

nintendogs + cats References

In the sequel to Nintendogs on the 3DS, you can get special windup Mario, Yoshi, and Peach karts from Mario Kart 7. Also, the present you get on Father's Day this year was a Luigi hat with the description saying it is "perfect for mustachioed younger bros." In addition, the player can also buy a Mario-themed house, a Koopa Troopa chair, a mushroom table set, and a TV featuring dogs with Mario Bros. hats can all be bought. Can somebody please add this?

larryboy

in the GBA version of LarryBoy and the Bad Apple, one of the levels is based off of the 25m stage of Donkey KOng 24.208.13.231 (talk)

Tomodachi Collection

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Can someone who owns either Tomodachi Collection or Tomodachi Collection: New Life confirm whether they include Mario references? In Nintendo Directs for Tomodachi Collection: New Life, Satoru Iwata presents from a Nintendo-themed room, but does anyone know if these games include more Nintendo references? GBAToad (talk) 16:14, 18 May 2013 (EDT)

Densetsu no Stafy 3

A previous TPP proposed to split Densetsu no Stafy 3 from this article. The edits haven't been done, so I open this section to get "attention" raise awareness.
Banon (talk · edits) 16:50, 19 May 2013 (EDT)

We should put it in the main proposals page. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 00:50, 28 May 2013 (EDT)

Mario reference in Terraria

In Terraria, there is a set of clothes known as the plumber set. The clothes represent Mario's clothes.
