Ms. 'Splosion Man/Shout Out
- Its title is of course a homage to Ms. Pac-Man.
- Ms. Splosion Man's non-sequiturs. Examples of her babbling include:
"Snozzberries? Just what are snozzberries?!" |
- One cutscene where Ms. 'Splosion Man reveals herself in a disguise brings to mind Total Recall, down to the disguise's head laughing before it explodes.
- And before the Bionic Bommando boss fight, she arrives in a Johnnycab from the same movie.
- In the first boss battle alone:
- The Boss (Mighty Eternal) tells Ms. Splosion Man "I'm your boyfriend now!".
- After she defeats the Boss, there's this exchange:
- The Boss (Mighty Eternal) tells Ms. Splosion Man "I'm your boyfriend now!".
Ms. Splosion Man: What the heck are you? |
- Not to mention that in the middle of the sequence, the boss says "Heeeeere's Johnny!"
- One of Ms. Splosion Man's idle dances is the Carlton.
- Several of her idle animations contain notable parts from the music video of All The Single Ladies
- Her other idle movements include jumping in victory like Chun Li and doing the Macarana.
- During the final boss battle (which in itself is a shout out to Punch Out), Ms. Splosion Man says:
- In the third level of the game, we hear a random flying car driver humming the theme to Dallas.
