Cammy
Pac-Man, Inky, Pinky, Blinky
Sonic

reply

The knight and ostrich from Joust can be seen flying around in game central and Peter Pepper from Burger Time was at Tappers.

reply

Basically every single thing written in graffiti on Game Central Station. My favorites are "Aerith lives" and "All your base are belong to us".

Why does life have to be so ironic?!

reply

While the character is nowhere to be seen, the candy racing game is obviously a reference to the Mario Kart series, right down to the use of offensive items, as well as the rainbow colored tracks that represent the Rainbow Roads.

reply

During the credits a bar napkin with the contra code on it.



To Boldly Go Where Phil Coulson Has Gone Before

reply

Well somewhere in the movie, (I think King Candy did it, but I dont remember) they input the Konami code to do something.

"Even though I'm no more than a monster - don't I, too, have the right to live? " -Oh Dae-Su

reply

You're both right. King Candy enters the Contra 30 lives sequence into an NES pad to gain access to Sugar Rush's code vault.

Glitch: "What's the big whoop about that crummy medal anyway??"

"big whoop" = The Secret of Monkey Island 2!!!! yes.

reply

When/where?


I haven't concentrated on looking for these much at all, but I liked how Sonic lost his rings when the spaceship thing bumped into him on its way through Game Central.

Loneliness has followed me my whole life

reply

You can see Princess Peach & Daisy walking around game central at one point.
I think it's when Calhoun and Felix are talking to the security guy about where Ralph went.

He's more likely to be the villain of the coin-op Satan's Hollow.

One of the briefest cameos is the Qix from the game of that name, swirling around the laser display at the party. Only seen twice for about a quarter of a second each time.


Nobody's perfect; I'm a nobody; so I must be perfect.

reply

I agree with you Korax. I couldn't remember the name but I was thinking of Satan's Hollow.

The "!" was genius. My near-primal instinctive reaction was to find a circle button and push the *beep* out of it.
