Hey! I've Seen Him Somewhere Before... Quiz

Answer: Rayman

The original "Rayman" game was released for the PS in 1995. The first boss of the game is Bzzit, a giant mosquito. The second boss looks strikingly similar; but is called Moskito. This giant mosquito becomes a very small mosquito on a dead cow's nose in "Beyond Good and Evil" (2003). Both games are made by the same company.

The little mosquito in "Beyond Good and Evil" also happens to be named aedis raymanis.

Answer: Crash Twinsanity

Crash and Spyro were made by the same developers; and thus appeared in each others' games quite frequently. There are also trailers and mini beta-games in many of the games to try out the other. In "Crash Twinsanity" (2003, PS2), however, Spyro makes a cameo at the very end to reclaim his gems from the evil twin parrots, Victor and Moritz.

Answer: Infamous

"inFAMOUS" was released in 2009 for the PS3, and upon its release, some of the more observant players noticed something. On Cole's backpack there was a Sly Cooper symbol. There were several other Sly Cooper references that people thought were hints to a "Sly 4", including a theater sign for the Cineperplexed that has "Sly Cooper 4" at the top of the list, rated G.

Sure enough, a "Sly 4" had been in production, and was scheduled for release in 2012.

Answer: Mario and Yoshi

"Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes" was released in 2004 for the Gamecube. In the laboratory, on one desk, there is a Gamecube and a Gamecube controller. If you go around and to the back, there is a computer. On top of the computer, there is a Yoshi figurine, and next to him, the famous Mario as a figurine. If you shoot him, you will hear the classic "1-Up" music, and gain a little extra health. You can shoot him several times for a bit of health.

Answer: Donkey Kong Country Returns

"Donkey Kong Country Returns" was released in 2010 for the Wii. On World 7-1, "Foggy Fumes", Mr. Game and Watch is hammering some pipes in the background. The reason for this? Donkey Kong had made an appearance on eight different Game and Watch games, and so it only seemed fitting that Mr. Game and Watch return the service.

Answer: Bullet Bill

"The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" was released for the Wii in 2006. In the game, if you go to Lake Hylia and find a guy named Fyer, Bullet Bill can be found on his sleeve.

Answer: Space Junk Galaxy

In the Space Junk Galaxy of "Super Mario Galaxy" (2007, Wii), one of the planets visited by Mario is a spaceship. The spaceship bears a striking resemblance to the spaceship used by Olimar and Louie on "Pikmin 2". In the Space Junk Galaxy, there also appears a giant Yoshi's Head planet.

Answer: Conker

"Banjo-Kazooie" was released in 1998 for the N64. When you arrive at the "Rusty Bucket Bay", Berry the Squirrel can be seen in one of the ship's cabins. There is also a reference to Conker, Funky Kong, and Cranky Kong in a fun quiz game found within "Banjo-Kazooie".

Answer: Galaxian

The original arcade "Pac-Man" was released in 1980. There are several bonus items you can get after eating a certain amount of dots. At 100 dots, for instance, you get a cherry, the first bonus of the game. After 2,000 dots, the bonus for Pac-Man to eat is a ship from the arcade game "Galaxian".

Answer: Jak and Daxter

"Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando" was released in 2003 for the PS2. If you travel to Clank's apartment, and look on the wall, there is a large portrait. The portrait is of Jak and Daxter, characters from the "Jak and Daxter" series of video games.
