Wii Music

[Volray]

Okay, so I think we all know by now that the Nintendo songs in this game are:
The Legend of Zelda
F-Zero–Mute City Theme
Super Mario Bros.
Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing–K.K. Blues
Wii Sports
I’m sure you can pretty much guess what they are just by the titles, well except for the Animal Crossing song, that’s the main theme to Animal Crossing: Wild World. There’s also a song called Wii Music, which is the main theme to Wii Music, but that’s not exactly a cameo.

Also, when you select a Nintendo song from the song menu, you’ll see a picture of the system the game came from. So for The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros., you’ll see a picture of a NES. For the F-Zero song, you’ll see a picture of a SNES. For both Animal Crossing songs, you’ll see a Nintendo DS. And for Wii Sports, you’ll see a Wii.

If you choose the first stage, the Electro Stage, while playing a Nintendo song, images from the game will come up.

In The Legend of Zelda, you’ll see an 8-bit background reminiscent of the original Legend of Zelda’s overworld. You’ll also see 8-bit images of octoroks, Link, the fairy, Ganon, heart containers, and Triforce pieces.

In F-Zero–Mute City Theme, you’ll see a 16-bit background from an F-Zero track (sorry, I never played the original F-Zero, so I can’t get more specific than that, though I’m pretty sure it’s Mute City). You’ll also see 16-bit F-Zero machines race across the screen. They move fast but I managed to see the four original F-Zero machines, Blue Falcon, Golden Fox, Wild Goose, and Fire Stingray, and I think I even saw the White Cat and Red Gazelle.

In Super Mario Bros., you’ll see an 8-bit background reminiscent of Super Mario Bros.’s ground levels. You’ll also see 8-bit images of Mario, Luigi, coins, Starman, and the mushroom.

In Animal Crossing, you’ll see a typical Animal Crossing village, that’s it.

In Animal Crossing–K.K. Blues you’ll see K.K. Slider playing his guitar. Once again, that’s it.

In Wii Sports, the background will change to all the different sports you can play in Wii Sports. It starts off with the Tennis court, changes to the Golf course, then goes to the Baseball field, then the Bowling alley, and finally the Boxing arena.

Oh, and there’s also the NES Horn, but we all know about that, right?

Thanks for all this! Helpful as always

White Cat and Red Gazelle didn't exist until F-Zero X so it'd just be unnamed CPU machines.

[Volray]

...I know they weren't in F-Zero, but I'm still pretty sure I saw 8-bit representations of them in the background.

Okay I'll admit, the "White Cat" I saw was basically a white blob and I could have mistaken it for something else. But watch this video and tell me that isn't the Red Gazelle. I mean, it's a red vehicle with yellow stripes, and it even has the same basic shape. I'm pretty sure they intended for that to be the Red Gazelle.

Watching that video reminded me of something, when you play a song that shows characters/items moving across the screen, The Legend of Zelda, F-Zero, and Super Mario Bros., the number of things you see depends on the number of instruments you're using.

For example, if you're playing The Legend of Zelda and you're only using one instrument, you may only see the octorok moving across the screen. But if you use every instrument, you'll see all the characters/items.

Moar cameo.

When playing the NES flute, if you press down on the D-pad your character will hold the flute over his/her head while a 2D image of the Triforce floats over it.

Also, that's a Moblin on the Zelda Electro stage. Not Ganon.

[Volray]

Yeah, you're right, my mistake.

Another mistake I made in the first post, I said that the F-Zero machines in the F-Zero song were 16-bit. They're not, they're basically 8-bit representations of the cars. Which means unlike The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros., they're not the original sprites, as I implied.

Sorry.

[Fryguy64]

They just look like low quality versions of the SNES sprites. There were various sprites at different distances.

[Dasher Misire]

Looks like the Red Gazelle, but I still think it's a CPU car. But I need a spritesheet of the 2D CPU vehicles to compare.

I don't know if this is a cameo or just in series contunity (Wii series) or even if it's a unique Japanese design* (think octopus) . . .

The flying saucer at 0:56 in this Wii Music video resembles the flying saucers used in the shooting range game from Wii Play.

Apart from a few different colours, the shape is very similar and underside design (3 halve spheres).



Wii Play's shooting range.


The only reason I bought the Japanes design part of was because the shape is similar to the flying saucer Gulliver from AC flys around in.

[Fryguy64]

It's a very generic design for UFOs, dating back to the 1950s. If it was exactly the same model, then maybe, but if anything's different then I don't think it's gonna go in (after all, similar UFOs appear in Mario Paint as well).

[seanking64]

This video shows the White Cat during the Mute City theme. So yeah, both SNES-style Red Gazelle and White Cat show up alongside the original four.

[Fryguy64]

Bump!

Wii Music cameos are currently being worked on. Just thought I should warn you that some of your Miis are going to make cameos on NinDB

[8bitretroshit]

I'm totally in love with that harp ;D

After learning about it on TV Tropes a few days ago, this style of UFO (Adamski UFO picture) is pretty much the same UFO that occurs throughout all Japanese media, sort of like the same style used for all Japanese octopus/octopi in the past threads.

(The UFO is fake for those who are curious)

Haha, I'll do this too (I deserve to be in Wii Fit screenshots... I already unlocked the golden piggy bank in Wii Fit Plus ;D)
