Three more, sort of. Donkey Kong's three descriptions in the game are, "The King of Swing!" "The Leader of the DK Krew!" "Jumpman's Bane!". I don't think they would count as cameos on there own (Except maybe the last one), but maybe a mention in DK's article.

King of Swing? Big time cameo, actually. Remember KoS?

That would go along with Donkey Kong though. Not sure if that would count as its own cameo, or an extension. King of Swing is a Donkey Kong game after all.

Paon references are always a plus.
DK does look like he's doing the DKC1 intro dance at certain points. He has his hand slap, his victory scene, and the gloves are a clear reference as well. It's thankfully a lot more than "It's Donkey Kong! That's it.", and they Did Do the Research.

His victory pose (where he throws Little Mac over his shoulder and grins over his shoulder at the camera) is almost identical to a pose he used in the official artwork of Mario vs. Donkey Kong (he was carrying a sack in that). Obviously a reference to kidnapping Pauline, but its similarity to the pose in that artwork made me think it was used as a reference.

He likes his New Yorkers, huh.  |

I actually really like DK's portrayal in this game. He seems...playful. You know, instead of outright stupid or aggressive.

Donkey Kong is a major plus. Even though I already knew about this, you didn't have to enforce it. I would like to play as referee Mario.

Just wondering if this would count as a cameo. The character Disco Kid is apparently based on the character from the arcade original called Kid Quick, it says here (although it might not be completely reliable, but in an interview they also said that Disco Kid was based on an old character.) punchout.wikia.com/wiki/Disco_Kid 'Disco Kid is actually Kid Quick. In fact, he is still called Kid Quick in the game's data.' Of course I myself haven't seen the games coding etc so I don't know if this is true. If it is it means that there's a character who references each game in the series. Disco Kid/Kid Quick is PO arcade, Bear Hugger is SP arcade, Aran Ryan is SP SNES, and all the rest are from PO NES. |

Hmm... I'm not sure about the Kid Quick thing. Even if it's true, that doesn't mean Disco Kid is based on Kid Quick, just that he occupies the same space as data that has been edited beyond recognition or removed from the game entirely. I'd need to see more compelling evidence that the contents of a half-finished fan Wiki. Quite a lot of them are from the arcade games... It's just they were also in the NES and SNES games. On this topic, can someone identify for me the details of these cameo catchphrases? I'm having trouble finding them on the net or hearing them in-game (that Wiki has about 5% of them)... |

Well there is an interview out there somewhere which said that they started with a character from another game in the series, and he evolved into Disco Kid. I figured that of all them it would be Kid Quick as he's the best fit. That said the suggestion of Bob Charlie is one that someone made, and it would be plausible as they're both music based and I think that they both say something about getting into the rytham. Still I suppose the only confirmation we could get would be from the developers themselves

Wiki is correct. I have seen the data and can confirm that Disco Kid's audio files are labeled as Kid Quick.

Might be worth mentioning, though not really as a cameo.
I still need more information on the cameo catchphrases (eg. Doc Louis's outbursts about Club Nintendo, Brain Age)
