Random Facts about Random Video Games
What if Kirby sucked up a lawyer and gained all the powers of a lawyer? The lawyer was named John Kirby though. The cloud is named Masami I think. Also I fought that episode was more Anime and Magna inspired with the tournament section drawn in a similar style to the earlier Dragon Ball Magna. Several video characters did make cameos though not all of them were video game characters (one of these non-video game characters is Spike from Tom and Jerry)Happy Mask Salesman (From TLOZ) has a mask that resembles Mario.
Similar Easter Eggs:
-There is a shop in PKMN Sun/Moon with Mario overalls hanging on one wall
-There was no EarthBound stage in Super Smash Bros 64, so to unlock Ness, you battled him on Kirby's Dream Land (The one with the tree, not the 3DS version with the Game Boy) because Kirby and EarthBound are both by HAL Laboratory, which just so happens to be the developer for Smash Bros.
This isn't that related, but in the Hatsune Miku Project Diva Arcade video for Age Age Agein Miku winks a different eye at the very end than in Mirai DX.
The Happy Mask Salesman's backpack features various easter eggs:
Face shown on the Mirror Shield.
Face shown on Mayor Dotour's chair in its opposite emotion.
Possible reference to Elvis Presley.
Possible reference to Darth Maul.
Mario.
Possible reference to a luchador mask.
Possible reference to King Dedede.

There is an Amazing World Of Gumball episode where the cloud's mom (forgot her name) battles video game themed contestants. (The episode was called “The Fury”Donkey Kong/Kirby: Universal Studios once tried to sue Nintendo for copyright infringement towards King Kong. An American lawyer pointed out that King Kong was already in the public domain from a court case that UNIVERSAL won. The lawyer was named John KIRBY. Nintendo won the case and rewarded Kirby with, well I think you know where I'm going with this
Not really, there's another theory Kirby was named after a vacuum cleaner company, which makes way more since because Kirby inhales enemies, he's not a lawyer.

In Luigi's Mansion, if you confront King Boo before the end of the game, he will say “I'm not giving up my favorite decoration, I like Mario just where he is.” Which is a reference to Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, where Jabba the Hutt says “I'm not giving up my favorite decoration, I like Captain Solo just where he is.”

The longest video game title is in Japanese, but here's the English translation: Summertime High School: A Young Man's Notes—How a New Exchange Student Like Myself Ran Into His Childhood Friend on the School Tour, Then for Some Reason Became Super-Popular with the Girls for His Daily Scoops on the School Photography Club Even Though He Only Takes Panty Shots, and What He Thinks as He Goes on Dates During His Summer of Island School Life
It's Japan, people.

Notice me please. Super Paper Mario was intended to have a GameCube port, but this was canceled and Super Paper Mario was a Wii exclusive. They could of at least had the decency to add GameCube controller support for the Wii version.
Also, Luigi's Mansion and Star Fox Adventures, two popular GameCube titles, began production on the N64 and Star Fox Adventures wasn't even a Star Fox game at first. Instead, the game began production as a new RareWare I.P. known as “Dinosaur Planet”.
A Sonic game based off of the “Sonic the Hedgehog” cartoon (often called SATAM by fans) was going to be made, but was cancled due to the pacing. Not only does that sound like a dumb reason the cancel a game, but SEGA literally did the same thing with Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric with team-based gameplay instead of playing as characters individually.
There is a Mario-themed Majong game for the DS, but it is Japan-exclusive.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is often thought to have started out as the implied game Banjo-Threeie, which was mentioned at the end of Banjo-Tooie.
Wow, I'm just full of pointless video game trivia.

And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

I heard that Masami's mom fights Bowser.
Also, Kirby and Ness are voiced by the same person…in all four Smash games!

I don't remember that in Gumball… I heard that Masami's mom fights Bowser.
Anyway, we should probably discuss this in the TAWOG thread.

Yeah, I always knew that. ROBLOX is actually older than Minecraft, so all of those cringy videos saying that ROBLOX is a ripoff of Minecraft are invalid. (Plus RIP OT on Roblox.)
I don't see why people are comparing Roblox to Minecraft. They're actually really different.
Btw, Sonic was gonna have a human girlfriend, but it was scrapped because of possibly two reasons: A damsel in distress is already in use in the rivaling Mario series, and an animal-human romantic relationship is too weird for the Western youth.
Good thing they did that, because of what happened to Sonic '06…..

I also dislike when people compare Pokemon and Yokai Watch. Yo-Kai has a traditional vibe and less control of the battles, but Pokemon is more strategic and has more modern elements.
