Isn't it kind of weird seeing a video game with small tidbits of characters from other games, and sometimes other popular media all together? Things like total coincidences and cameo appearances leave you in a shocked state...there are tons of them, let's talk about them!! Which do you remember?
I remember in the American version of Secret Of Mana, there was a robotic boss named Kilroy, probably a shout out to Styx's futuristic rock opera 'Kilroy Was Here'. I always kind of speculated on that one, whether it was meant to be that way or just a strange coincidence
There he goes, Firkraag. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. - My VGscore
I'm surprised no one mentioned this already, but in Ocarina of Time, you can view portraits of Super Mario characters through a window in Hyrule Castle when you first meet Zelda.
Haha, I liked the Sockup in BIS named Kuribo. As soon as I saw that enemy, I knew there would be some reference to a Kuribo's Shoe. (You actually are riding in one when you hear that ^)
Starfy appeared in a poster in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. I haven't gotten that far yet, but I have seen a shot of it.
And I don't think Cameos and Coincidences are weird. I think it's great that video game developers want to show that their game doesn't take itself seriously. And who could forget Santa Claus in Secret of Mana??
Link in Soul Caliber 2. Darth Vader, Yoda, and The Apprentice in Soul Caliber 4. Mario/Peach/Bowser/Luigi/Yoshi in Ocarina of Time. Star Fox masks in Majora's Mask.
The Game.
Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.
No, I cannot resist the urge to be a giant fanboy. It's too ingrained within my psyche.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.
Is that Link??!?! 'cause the resemblance is so uncanny. I'm considering trying out Golden Sun someday, from what I saw it looks interesting.
It is indeed Link. Camelot programmed an entire NPC sprite sheet for him, but sadly he's not able to be seen within the course of normal gameplay. He's been hacked in that movie. It's too bad. I would have loved to see a Link cameo.
Anyways, any time somebody expresses interest in Golden Sun, I smile. If you ever get the chance, I hope you enjoy it, StarBoy.
Fanboy off-topic post is now over...

Super Mario RPG and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening are the monarchs of Cameos in Video Games. Anti-Kirby, anyone? Samus and Link sleeping in their beds, people? Goombas that leave out a heart when jumped on? The list is endlessssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
