4 Color Rebellion has a ton of Pokemon brain-exploding things.
- Rotom and Team Galactic are a tribute to Pulseman.
- The interior of Goldenrod City's gym looks like a Clefairy when viewed from above.
- Venonat looks exactly like Butterfree's head.
- Pikachu, a mouse, is number 25. Meowth, a cat, is number 52, which is 25 backwards.That's probably why Team Rocket has a Meowth.
- Hitmonchan, the punching Pokemon, is number 107, and Little Mac from Punch-Out is 107 pounds.
- Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres have the Spanish words for one, two, and three in their names.
That page also has the Cubone image that was already leaked. Is this a case of GAF > Internet > GAF? Sorry if this was all posted before.

Awesome stuff. I vaguely remember now after reading it(or perhaps my brain is just thinking it does). Wonder if it will show up in Zelda Wii at some point...sjt333 said:

Still not it.
I don't understand why it can't just be an eye symbol in a Zelda game that doesn't relate to anything.
Not like they're in short supply.:lol
Edit: Apparently all eye symbols in Zelda games somehow relate to the Sheikah emblem no matter how different they look, eye fetish? :lol

I saw him as pokey-faced for a long time. The band's colour really jumps out, his real face is rather small and oddly-centered, and let's be honest, most of us were playing on pretty crummy TVs via RF connection, so the sprite was fuzzy as hell.Jasoco said:
And since Link to the Past predates Return of Jafar by two years or so, I would have been long done with the game by the time Return of Jafar showed up to stank up Aladdin.

I got a good laugh out of this. I always thought 4,5 and 6 were all far too similar, and now there is proof!

How exactly is that his head in the middle of his chest? I always figured it was a medallion of some sorts. I even remember fighting him and having side views of him shooting his shit at you. His arms would be about mid-level to his body, not way above his head. I mean, aside from people on here saying that's a head, what other proof do you have? And if that is a head, that's by far the worst drawn sprite ever.

Could you go into a little more detail? The games aren't played in real time, so the movement patterns aren't similar...
I still get a laugh out of this, but I think its just a coincidence.vocab said:I'm pretty sure a lot of people know this but after Mega Man 3, Capcom made the same game three more times after that. 4, 5 & 6 are pretty much the same game as 3.

Maybe you already realized this or this is common knowledge and thus this post is folly, but I was surprised the original post wasn't more specific.
I mean that, for the 3 legendary birds, their names are a description of their element and then the spanish number, i.e.:
Artic (arctic) + One
Zap + Two
Molt (as in molten) + Three
I impressed my mom back in the day by figuring those out, much to my satisfaction as she had already pointed out "ekans/snake" and that "pidgey" was just a bastardized version of "pigeon" to me.

How did we learn this? I know there is a curtain at the beginning but I thought that was a graphical flourish. It says "New Game" there too, but I don't think that floating white Allcap text exists in the Mario universe either.

I'll grant you that, but I don't know if I'm entirely convinced by those points. Aren't these all a concession of art style? It's like saying Paper Mario didn't happen because he's a piece of paper.
It's not like there's an in-game reference to it in the end a la SMB2, right?

It's no coincidence that several of the powerups take the form of costumes. It's a fairly consistent theme, though compelling game design reigns supreme. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they chose the style simply to add visual interest without having to work out more detailed backgrounds. Make of it what you will.Hawkian said:

I'm not sure the curtain calls directly relate to the shadows and rigging on platforms and the end of levels, it was all just a bit of flourish IMO. Particularly the end of level blackness, since in the NES version, the plants and platforms in that area were just white outlines. Then in world 8, you got to a level where everything was like that. So the end of level is like Mario journeying into the encroaching darkness from Bowser's kingdom. (It was strange, poor decision on their part to normalize the levels for All-Stars and beyond.)
