This has probably already been mentioned, but... I was playing Kirby Superstar Saga Ultra last night, when I met the last boss in The Great Cave Offensive. It's Master Hand! But with a face (brown, big lips, earrings)! I played Kirby SS on the SNES way back, but never connected this boss with Master Hand in the Super Smash-games before. They're very much the same. From obscure boss in platformer to last boss in fighter... strange, but makes sense, since I always thought Master Hand was such a random boss to have in SSB anyway.

Didn't you ever watch the opening movie? It's just some kid playing with his Nintendo toys.thomaser said:

If we go by Gold/Silver, he became the Pokemon champion. If they had ended the first Pokemon anime there (with Ash and Misty having a kid), they probably could have started a Gold/Silver anime with Ash as the champion, and Misty as an adult with a kid, etc.

He was banging Misty before the movie, natch.

There's a few pokedex entries and episodes that refer to existing animals and there's some that use traits we know existing animals have and give them to Pokemon (like Miltank milk).
It's basically whatever they want it to be at the moment.
GaussTek said:This is about Pokémons:
How are they called "Mouse", "Cow", "Bear", "Bull", etc. if real animals don't exist in the Pokémon World?
How can they eat meat without slaughtering PokeymanZ? Who fertilizes the ground without insects and worms? Are there bacteria and germ pokemons? Are there scavenger pokemons, if not, how are the corpses disposed of in nature?
How can he SEE without EYES?! It just doesn´t make sense!

Real animals might exist in the Pokemon world. They are seen in the cartoon sometimes and some pokedex entries refer to them. Raichu's Firered pokedex data is: Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.GaussTek said:This is about Pokémons:

Guys, I need your help confirming something...
I was just at the Toy Story Double Feature and if you watch Toy Story 2, well that version of it anyways, you will find that before/near the part where Woody is shelved, the SNES that Rex was playing on is YELLOW! I sadly do not own a copy of Toy Story 2, so can anyone confirm the color of the SNES in the original film in this scene?
If they did what I think they did, then that's hilarious. :lol

A lot of stuff in here is great, never realized the Super Mario Bros. 3 was a play. Btw, there are statues of Agahnim all over the Great Pyramid in the Dark World.
I used to search for stuff like this in Zelda. (Still do)
Zelda: Four Sword Adventures probably takes place after A Link to the Past... and maybe before The Legend of Zelda.
http://www.adventureofhyrule.com/game/?p=39
Link's Awakening as a sequel to A Link to the Past has several references, some more obscure.
The shrine where a bit of the game's plot is revealed has the appearence of the Eastern Place from ALttP. Probably left over from the original preview shown in Nintendo Power. Inside you fight an Armos Knight, like the six you fight in ALttP. You also fight the Moldworm, and Lanmola bosses from ALttP at various points.
The Level 2 sword is shaped like the Master Sword
"Luigi" was also in Link's Awakening as the guy on top of Tal Tal Heights with the chickens.
And a cool Zelda 2 reference in Ocarina of Time. When you defeat the 4 poes in the Forest Temple, you gain access to an elevator...

What version is that image from? I am trying to go back as far as I can, like original VHS, "Toy Story 2-pack" DVD release. Who knows if they could have edited future releases, I mean this was the case for "Knick Knack" after all. Still if it's always been like that, I guess I got debunked, it's always been yellow!VideoMan said:
Thanks for the pic!
That picture most definitely has the yellow SNES. See the cart slot and around it?

I haven't seen Toy Story 2.... there's a SNES in it?? Yellow or not, mind blown!!!

Toy Story 2 came out in 1999 and I believe some SNESs were already yellow at that point.... but who knows?HUELEN10 said:

I don't know if this one will blow any minds.... I knew this pretty much upon release.. but if you're like me you haven't thought about it in years! Hopefully it's new to someone.
The first 2 Sonic games basically had you smashing open computer monitors for your powerups... it would have been pretty "tech" in 1991:
But Sonic 3 came at a time when they needed to freshen up the Sonic formula... so they updated Sonic's sprite to be a little more 3D... they updated the staple music for invincibility, level complete, etc... and they updated the power up monitors:
Now the power up monitors are basically early-to-mid 90s Apple Macintoshes! Probably based upon the Macintosh Color Classic or Macintosh LC. The little dot on them is probably supposed to be an Apple logo!
Macintosh Color Classic
Macintosh LC
If Project Needlemouse has any sense of continuity.. Sonic should bust open widescreen LCD monitors for power ups!

dude, that SNES is grey. you're over-thinking it.
BocoDragon

It doesn't look grey to me... the plastic around the cart slot is a different color.. a trademark of the infamous yellowed SNES!Rez said:
I don't think it means Pixar are uber-game nerds or anything (although pioneering computer animators... they probably are game nerds!)... it's just that the SNES they used for reference may have been yellowed. It would have been a sign of elite realism to render it as accurately as possible.

I seem to remember this by that time... I was working on a SNES-only website in 1999 (great design to that page! I never launched it onlineHUELEN10 said:
), and SNES was already old, believe it or not... this was about the time people started going back into their basements in nostalgic fervor and discovering the "yellow menace" had taken hold of their SNES. I can't say for certain but I believe it was already occurring.It generally only happened to North American SNES's by the way. I consider it a curse for Nintendo redesigning the system from the nice Super Famicom design that Europe got as well.
I'm glad I rebought my SNES in about 2005, after the phenomenon... only certain units were affected (the dreaded "Mexican production plant" with sawdust debris in the air that got into the plastic, letting oxygen in small pores to yellow it over time, so the legend goes), and I bought one with pristine grey that should hopefully never turn yellow. I'm looking at it right now. Beautiful
EDIT: The other explanation is that it IS just lighting, and the reason for the different colors is just their rendering software calculating that the cart slot area should have different lighting... even if in real life a solidly-colored SNES probably wouldn't have such a difference between plastic sections.

Some people might take this the wrong way so to state the obvious; the European and Japanese design doesn't have immunity to the problem:BocoDragon said:
It is just as bad when it does show up.
Or is this just the ambient yellow lighting causing an optical illusion
