Line 545:
* In [[Super Mario Bros.]], Pewee Piranha and Digga Legg from [[Super Mario Galaxy 2]] are pretty much suspiciously similar substitutes to Dino Piranha and Megaleg from the original [[Super Mario Galaxy]]. The former is even found in the same general point in the game as the latter, and defeated in nearly the same way. Also, the Topmen from Galaxy are basically the same thing as the Bullies from [[Super Mario 64]], both being enemies defeated by being pushed off the edge of the platform. They even both have nearly the same boss battles in the [[Mario Kart]] series!
* In [[Yoshi's Island]] DS, about half the bosses and a good few of the levels are nearly the same thing as their equivalents from the first game. The Big Burt Bros are the most obvious, they're literally just two smaller versions of Burt the Bashful, killed the exact same way and found in a level with roughly the same layout. Others include Bungee Piranha (which is very much like Naval Piranha, complete with a castle designed like a sewer system) and Bowser himself, who pretty much acts as a near identical replacement to both Hookbill the Koopa and the giant version of his baby self.
* The 1983 [[LaserDisc]] game ''[[Cliff Hanger]]'' features a protagonist with a remarkable resemblence to a certain anime anti-hero, along with other familiar characters. This is, of course, no surprise, as the animated footage in the game was taken directly from two ''[[Lupin III]]'' animated films (''Castle of Cagliostro'' and ''The Mystery of Mamo'') making the game a sort of dubbed [[Interactive Fiction]]. Not a bad thing, as the game did pique American interest in the anime series.
