:''Which Strong Bad Email makes reference to this game?''
[[Image:The cheat rampage videogame.PNG|thumb|"MY PANTIES!"]]
The game is [[Wikipedia:Rampage (arcade game)|Rampage]], which was ported to the NES. [[rampage]] makes reference to the game when [[:Image:The cheat rampage videogame.PNG|The Cheat]] and [[:Image:Strong mad rampage videogame.PNG|Strong Mad]] rampage about in the [[rampage#Easter Eggs|Easter egg]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

:''The enemies in this game who wear pink shirts are most likely to have sent which Strong Bad Email?''
[[Wikipedia:River City Ransom|River City Ransom]] is the game, and the email is [[theme party]] because the pink shirted enemies are frat guys. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 19:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:guy_knife.png|thumb|This guy could pass for a star of ''Contra''.]]
:''Which character appears on the Homestar Runner page whose URL contains the name of the region in which this game takes place? (Note: the location as it appears in the instruction manual.)''
The game is [[Wikipedia:Contra (series)|Contra]]. Took place in the [[Wikipedia:Amazon Basin|Amazon Basin]]. "amazon" is part of the URL for [[Bookazon.com]] which features [[Leomard Sportsinterviews]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:03, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
:Yep — as opposed to other versions of the game, which apparently took place off the coast of [[User:Loafing|New Zealand]]. Well done! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
This may be unrelated, but Strong Bad [[Couch Mumbling|mumbled]] Super Contra in his sleep once. I think that may be a sequel or something. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 14:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

:Nope, not unrelated at all; that's [[Wikipedia:Super Contra|the first sequel]] to Contra, and I considered using that as the clue for this one... Good catch! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:visor robot.png|thumb|Directive 5: [[VOIP]]!]]
:''In which Homestar Runner cartoon was a character introduced whose name and features have much in common with the hero of this game?''
The game is [[Wikipedia:RoboCop (video game)|RoboCop]]. [[Homestarloween Party]] introduced [[Visor Robot]], who shares [[Wikipedia:RoboCop|RoboCop's]] [[Wikipedia:RoboCop#Visor|visor]] and the "Robo" portion of the name. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:35, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

:That's correct — also, according to Strong Sad, the Visor Robot has a human brain, just as Robocop has some human organs...but that's stretching the connection :P Good work! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
::Ahhh! So ''that'' was the connection! I knew it was RoboCop by looking at the [[:Image:NES Ending.jpg|Bigger image]] (it's the last scene of the movie) but it didn't occurr to me that it was the visor robot that was modeled after it :(. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 14:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

:::::Sleep? What's that? Naw, I live in Chicago, and I only speak English very well — you might be thinking of [[User:Loafing|Loafing]], who's a native German speaker.

[[Image:The Moon.PNG|thumb|The evil meteor's twin brother?]]
:''In which Homestar Runner cartoon is this game explicitly referenced, and in which frame number does that reference begin?''
The game is [[Wikipedia:Maniac Mansion|Maniac Mansion]]. The ending you have there is seen if you choose to shoot the meteor into space. The game is explicitly referenced in frame 792 of [[lackey]] in the [[Floppy Disk Container#maniac_mansion|Floppy Disk Container]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:vectorstrongbadthumb.png|thumb|YOUR VAUS A SPLODE]]
:''Which [[Characters|character]] behaves very much like the final boss of this game?''
So, since I have nothing to lose, I might as well observe that the statue that appears there seems to be a moai, so I'm wondering if the game might be Moai Kun. Mind you, I never played it and the screenshots I'm seeing don't look very similar to what you've got, so probably not. But heck, might as well try. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

:You're on the right track; but that's not the right game... good guess! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
::Thought not, but hey, at least I could demonstrate my knowledge of the word "moai". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

The game is [[Wikipedia:Arkanoid|Arkanoid]]. The boss Doh behaves very much like [[Vector Strong Bad]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

:Yep, you're right! Can't fool you. In retrospect, I didn't know that there was an article on [[Wikipedia:Moai in popular culture|Moai in popular culture]], although you perhaps didn't use that... Good job!{{User:Trey56/sig}} 12:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

::And in speaking Bubble Bobble series terms, and back into the infamous [[/NES Archive 1#23 January 2007|Bubble Bobble 2 ambiguation]]: Yes, [[Wikipedia:Rainbow Islands|Rainbow Islands]] has that boss and an island that makes a reference to Arkanoid (probably with deadly balls that once again kill the player instantly on contact, as it is with such games) too. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 23:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:KingofTown Mario.PNG|thumb|"No! I'm a video game!"]]
:''Which Homestar Runner toon contains a quote that appears in this NES Ending?''
[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]] is the game, I believe. The toon is [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], in which [[The King of Town]] says "Sorry, king, but our princess is an another castle!" {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
:Exactly — nice work! (and fast too) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

::Not exactly,
<blockquote>The game is [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]. The quote is "But our Princess is in another castle" which is quoted as "Sorry, King, but our princess is in another castle..." by [[The King of Town]] in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].</blockquote>
::See [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/a/marioIII-4.gif marioIII-4.gif] :P -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

:::Yes — you're right. Close enough, though :P Also, I should note that both ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the KOT are referencing the original message at the end of the first seven worlds of ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'' {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

::::Of course. Good work Heimstern! -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

:::::Yeah, that last bit was more for completeness than 'cause I thought people didn't know it. Thanks for playing, guys :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:51, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

And you know what's '''''more''''' for completeness? And that people don't even know?!

{{spoiler}}

Well, I remember reading somewhere that what Princess Toadstool/Peach said at the end was different in the Japanese NES version (and even in the [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Advance 4|GBA remake]], so I remember playing once). I do not wanna spaz out on every single unnecessary change, so I'll quote, from [http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/smb3_j-e.shtml this site]:

<blockquote>The Japanese SMB3 features a more serious Princess Toadstool. In the Japanese version, Princess Toadstool originally said, "Thank you! Finally, peace returns to the Mushroom World. The end!"</blockquote>

Picture: [http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/images/j-e/smb3_peach.gif "Hahaha! Oh wait..."]

As a side note:
<blockquote>...it is interesting to note that neither the Japanese nor English versions of SMB3 in Super Mario All-Stars are based on their respective NES versions. Instead, both games contain an amalgamation of the Japanese and English versions, with the level changes (such as the world 1-1 Fortress) remaining from English version, along with the graphic "gimmicks" (such as the suit flying off effect) from the Japanese version.</blockquote>

And if I must state again ([[crying|"Oh no! Don't do it!!!"]]) '''''Oh drop that.''' Anyway, if I must state it again,'' I said that the non-joke ending was also repeated for the [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Advance 4|GBA remake]]. Princess Toadstool/Peach says [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/gba/d/sma4-4.png "Thank you! Peace has at last returned to our Mushroom Kingdom!"] And with that, I re-checked and it was like that.

Well, I'll have to ask you to go back to [http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/smb3_j-e.shtml here] and [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/gba/d/sma4.htm here]. The original world names from the NES Japanese edit were mostly kept for the GBA remake. "Castle of Koopa" was kept ''but of course they changed it to'' "Bowser's Castle", in my opinion because they had to change that to fit today's standards... or something.

And if you ever play the GBA remake, you'll see they decided to add a little motion to the static pictures of the original, so that all the characters fit into the place when the freeze-frame sets in for each of them. (Get what I'm saying?)

:'''Spoilers end here.'''

And so ends another ending plot expansion since the last time I stressed over Bubble Bobble and its own NES differences. Not that I'm stressing now. Really. And that's it. Hopefully I won't have to overload ending plot discrepancies again. Alright now. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 19:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

:Wow — interesting! I didn't know any of that! I think I like the English NES ending the best, though. That sneaky Princess! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Gah, this one's frustrating. I think I know the toon where its reference is, but that toon doesn't have a Fun Fact about it... or maybe I'm just taking the picture too literally. Hm... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
