SBCG4AP: 8-bit is Enough cameos

[kirbychu]

Probably no good for the site, but fun anyway.

Donkey Kong
After the Homestar Runner world and video game worlds merge, Marzipan kidnaps Bubs, and takes him to the top of his Concession Stand, which is currently under construction. She starts throwing crates down at everyone, and during all of this her mouth is drawn in the same was as Donkey Kong's, with the + symbols on the teeth and everything. Strong Bad refers to her as Marzy Kong, and as an easter egg, you can find a box for a game called "Lady Crate Ape", which looks like a Donkey Kong game with a female gorilla.


Zelda
A small one here, but while the worlds are merged, Homestar serves as a pop-up hint interface (much to Strong Bad's annoyance). The first time he pops up, he shouts "Hey! Listen!"

Super Mario
When the worlds merge, Strong Bad's house becomes haunted by colonial ghost sprites. The music during this part of the game sounds almost exactly like Super Mario World's Ghost House theme, just with a different melody.

Duck Hunt
Sometimes in The Field, a colonial ghost will pop up from behind the bushes. You can shoot it with your "Light Musket" controller, but if you miss, The Cheat will pop up to laugh at you. The Light Musket is also modelled to look like a Wii controller attachment.


I'm sure there are a lot more I've missed or forgotten dotted throughout the game, too. This entire episode is a video game parody, after all.

Ah, how I love Homestarrunner. I really should get this.

[Koopaul]

Yeah these games were really great. I think the first one was the best.

This should of been posted in the " Nintendo content in other types of media." thread.

[kirbychu]

But... this isn't another type of media. It's a Wii game. We have threads for cameos in games that aren't even on Nintendo systems, surely one for a Wii game is okay?

EDIT: Added screens to the first post.

[parrothead]

Oh, I forgot about Strong Bad having his own WiiWare game. I thought this was something like the Blaster Master ending found at the Homestar Runner website.

[Manspeed]

...but the title of the thread specifically says it's the Strong Bad game on WiiWare.

If he forgot that the WiiWare game existed, I think a long acronym like that would be rather meaningless, no?

You are positive on that. I forgot that it exists. I was thinking of something else with an acronym, like this PC fangame or whatever that has a title screen that is a parody of the NES Mega Man 2's title screen. It is called something like "I wanna be" or "I was born" or something like them.

EDIT: Nevermind, it was "I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game", but the game doesn't have an official acronym.

SBCG4AP = I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game?

So.... the title made you think of that, but then when you saw what was in the first post you then thought it was a regular H*R cartoon...and...

...wait.... what!?

[kirbychu]

He didn't remember the title of I Wanna Be The Guy. Jeez, Man-Frog, let it go.

[Manspeed]

I suppose I'll have too. I'm as confused as all hell. @_@

[parrothead]

That name, I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game, sounds similar to names like these:

* I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
* Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
* I Survived a Japanese Game Show
* H.W.I.S.T.K.T. (How Was I Supposed To Know That!?!?)

ManFrog, you remind me of Rubberman202 (a.k.a. Smashman202), who often shouts things like "WAIT! They made a colored version of Balloon Kid called Balloon Fight GB?" I bet he would enjoy David Letterman's Fun Facts, like "In the state, Oregon, it's against the law to use a butter knife to cut margarine."

....Uh.... OK?
