Line 56:
* [[Jak and Daxter|Daxter]] is an expy for [[Animaniacs|Yakko Warner]]
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' has Meryl Silverburgh, an [[Expy]] of the original Meryl Silverburgh, a character in ''[[Policenauts]]''. The original Meryl, in turn, started life as an Expy/[[Distaff Counterpart]] of Solid Snake from ''[[Metal Gear]]''. All games were created by [[Hideo Kojima]]. He later lifted Benson Cunningham from ''[[Snatcher]]'', gave him a celebratory [[Race Lift]], and put him in ''[[Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops]]''.
** After the revelation of {{spoiler|Solid Snake being an imperfect clone of his nemesis Big Boss}}, the appearances were further retconned. Pretty much evident by how Naked Snake (Big Boss in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'') is basically Solid Snake with an eyepatch and 1960s-1970s equipment, complete with the same voice actor, and further evident in ''Portable Ops Plus'' with the optional appearance of "Old Snake," aka Solid Snake from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]''...
*** {{spoiler|It makes sense that Naked would be just like Solid, the latter IS his clone...}}
** Dr. Pettrovich Madnar, who was the Metal Gear engineer in ''[[Metal Gear 1987]]'' and ''[[Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake]]'', was also the head of the Frankenstein Project in ''Snatcher''.
Line 283:
* The cast of the ''[[Golden Sun]]'' games has been pretty formulaic: There are four heroes that can command classical elements, of which the Earth character is the leader and [[Heroic Mime]]. [[Cool Old Guy]] Kraden may also tag along for a while. The villains are two [[Red Right Hand|obviously not-normal-humans]] from an obscure society, a man in shades of blue and a woman in red/pink, assisted by a blue-haired man with his own agenda ({{spoiler|in fact, the ''same'' blue-haired man}}). The sequels have played slightly with the heroes setup; ''The Lost Age'' by having the original games' heroes join to make a party of eight, and ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn|Dark Dawn]]'' by having eight heroes that are Expies of both the previous games' parties: the first four are [[Generation Xerox|direct descendants of the original heroes]], and the second four have parallels to the ''Lost Age'' heroes with the elements mixed up: a [[Bishonen]] (Felix and Amiti), a [[Lady of War]] (Jenna and Sveta), an older sailor (Piers and Eoleo), and a young spiritual girl (Sheba and Himi).
* Red and Blue from ''[[Saga Frontier]]'' noticeably resemble characters by the same name from ''[[Treasure Hunter G]]''. Red is nearly identical between the two games, but the two versions of Blue are a bit different.
* [[Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness|Devilotte]] and [[Yatterman|Doronjo]]. One is a blonde, female comedic villain from a mecha game who is constantly accompanied by two male minions... while the other is a blonde, female comedic villain from a mecha anime who is constantly accompanied by two male minions. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in Doronjo's ending in ''[[
* Following [[Word of God]], Beowulf from ''Devil May Cry 3'' is strongly inspired on the mythological demon Pazuzu.
* A mouthy teenager with an attitude who goes on adventures whose name begins with "S", and a pink [[Distaff Counterpart]] who's head over heels for him but he doesn't like her back and shows discomfort at this crush? Are we talking about [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic and Amy]] or [[Spyro the Dragon|Spyro and Ember]]?
