Mario "Jumpman" Mario was a referee in punch-out, starring Mike Tyson, who appeared as himself in Rocky Balboa, alongside this guy.
Davin Kneeream, who no ones ever heard of because all his work is uncredited.
Another of his uncredited roles was as a dinner party guest, in the mediocre road trip movie, "My One And Only", which featured THE one and only, Kevin Bacon.
Three degrees of separation baby!
BOOYAH!
*Game theory intro plays*
Hello internet, welcome to game theory.
The show that d-list celebrities turn to when they're not invited on dancing with the stars.
Last time we covered a HUGE number of cameos intended to unite all gaming universes.
And with your comments filling in the connection I didn't know, or didn't have time to cover, we were able to pull together everything from "Halo" and "Guitar Hero" to Japanese games I can't pronounce like "Getsu Fūma Den" and "Otomedius".
Yeah that's a game.
But the critique most people had against our "web" was that things like Daxter in "Hotshot's Golf" and Morrigan in "Gunbird 2" aren't canon.
They're easter eggs.
And, while I agree that Megaman appearing alongside Crack attack Cammy, in "Cannonspike" might not fit in well with his other adventures fighting against Dr. Wily.
There's NO denying that easter egg or no, he is physically present in that game.
Just because a Yoshi doll appears in "Metal Gear" doesn't mean it's tied to the mushroom kingdom.
I could have a Yoshi doll on my desk, too.
But when characters start physically appearing in other worlds, fan service or no, that's when the connections become solid.
As a show that takes video game logic 100 percent seriously, and then tries to rationalize it, we needed an explanation.
Hence everyone sharing the same universe.
That said, does this guy,
REALLY have enough patience to do this?
It doesn't seem like canon.
Or, how about Mario.
We all know him as a plumber, but he's also been a construction worker, a demolition expert, a pilot of planes, subs, and large space paddles, a chef, a professional boxing referee, and a doctor.
But let's not forget about the time he spent as a military bomb runner, a deep sea treasure diver, a cement mixer, a matador, a snake charmer, a tribal hunter, and a Spanish guitar player.
*Long deep breath in*
Not even the pretender had a resume like this.
Sorry, my 90's are showing
So what gives
How can you justify one man being both
"Jack the Ripper" and Jack Nicholas.
Or Mario being both "Joe the Plumber" and "Jose the Guitar Player"
Yes, all video games may share the same universe,
but that doesn't necessarily mean all universes are the same
You've heard the term "parallel universe"
or "alternate universe" before right?
Well, it's not just a way to give fan-fic writers
the freedom to give Cloud and Sephiroth the "steamy" love affair
