The SNES cameos are now all online, but there are still a few cameos that need updating or including that I missed.
Cameos listed in blue mean I still need to add them to the site.
Cameos listed in green mean I need more help or details before I can add them.
Super Famicom / SNES
Donkey Kong Country
1. Cranky Kong's classic opening sequence is based on the original Donkey Kong.
2. Cranky Kong rambles about the old Donkey Kong arcade games.
3. GBC version: Cranky Kong mentions the Game & Watch.
4. GBA version: Cranky's hut contains a Sabre Wulf head, a photo of the Sabre Wulf cast (according to Rare) and Mumbo Jumbo's mask from Banjo-Kazooie.
Donkey Kong Country 2
1. Cranky Kong's cabin contains a Killer Instinct arcade machine and a poster of KI character Thunder. (Not in GBA version)
2. Cranky's Video Game Heroes podium at the end of the game features Mario, Yoshi and Link. A bin labelled "No Hopers" nearby has Sonic the Hedgehog's shoes and Earthworm Jim's gun next to it. (This is in the GBA version, but you can find it by pressing L+R on the map screen at any time - Sonic and EWJ are not referenced)
Donkey Kong Country 3
1. Wrinkly Kong will occasionally be seen playing a Nintendo 64 with the music from Super Mario 64's Princess Peach's Castle.
2. Refuse to pay for Bazaar's story about the castle, and he will tell you that a boy named Link was also asking about the castle, and mumbled that the shells were the wrong shape.
3. Funky Kong's boat racing game is based on Rare's NES title Cobra Triangle.
EarthBound
1. In the Japanese version, one set of default names for the characters are names of characters in the Mario series.
2. In the Onett arcade, you can make out miniaturised screens on the arcade machines from Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and an as-yet unidentified third game. The background music sounds like it contains music from Namco's Xevious.
3. In the Fourside Department Store there is a kid by some arcade machines who wants to become a programmer at APE (one of the developers of Mother/EarthBound).
4. On the south side of Threed, there's a billboard that says "Located in the shadow of Mt. Fuji - HAL Laboratories" (screenshot needed)
