From an interview with the creator of SF1:

...and here I thought it was based on the Kamehameha
http://www.1up.com/features/the-man-who-created-street-fighter?pager.offset=1

Interesting... Other than the whole starting Dimps thing, I found another interesting quote:

1UP: Were there other big ideas that didn't quite make it into the game?

TN: There were a lot of things that didn't make it in. But I was headhunted by SNK after its release, and many members of the development team and I moved over. So we went on to make Fatal Fury, and we put in a lot of the things we couldn't in Street Fighter. So for me, Fatal Fury is my "Street Fighter II." And the actual Street Fighter II was created by someone else at Capcom after I left. So that's where the vision for Street Fighter diverged; the continuation of Street Fighter that I had in mind with Fatal Fury, and the Street Fighter II that Capcom created.

Yeah, the Angry Video Game Nerd went over this in his Street Fighter 2010 review.

I only just noticed today that piranha plant pipeway on mk7 features our favourite cloud bushes in 3D form!

Got a pic?

Apparently, according to Kirby Wiki, the RPG mini-game in Kirby Mass Attack has Kirby ride on the Moto Shotzo (what Trax is called in Kirby) away from a boss from Trax, too.

Kirby Super Star also had an enemy named Capsule J based off Konami's Twinbee, who was altered in Ultra to not be a copyright violation.

Kirby wiki?..man i am old..

I see clouds but no bush

Well duh, it's rated E.

The forum keeps logging me out whenever I try to quote post 116 from this link, so I'll post it here: the entire Ancient Cistern dungeon is a direct homage to a Japanese short story called The Spider's Thread:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spider's_Thread

This really blows my mind.

Spoiler

The spider thread going down into hell, the lotus pond, the Buddha statue....all aspects of that dungeon.

Very creative, Nintendo!

this is incredible!

The tank was lost to he ages until it made a cameo in Kirby Super Star Ultra.

Is that shot really from Kirby SS Ultra? It looks a lot like the SNES version.

 

[Haunted]

This changes everything. Did anyone ever actually check if Mario games outside of SMB use the cloud = bush thing?

This could be a hidden tradition/easter egg when everyone assumed that it was just in SMB.

I think it's more likely that they noticed that we were making a big deal about it and decided to reference it.

 

[a posh hammer]

So good.

 

[plainr_]

Damn nice find.

Im posting the secrets in the blog in order, from the first page of the thread to the last.

Right now i posted more than 70 secrets, and im still at page 20 of the thread

But this 3d Cloud/bushes was just to much to wait. I had to put it in the blog as fast as possible.

 

[OnPoint]

Awesome

[cacildo]

Its www.shockingvideogamesecrets.wordpress.com , and its a database for all the "shocking" secrets posted in this thread since 2008. I dont know if its forbidden to post the link in a thread. If it is, im sorry, please delete.

The blog is doing fine, im getting at least 10 posts a day and im not even tired of it. But im still gathering strenght to improve the tag system...

 

[John Rabbit]

Yuzo Koshiro's influences for SoR

not sure i'd call some of these direct influences. stylistically they're all obviously very similar but koshiro had an interest in producing dance music in general and with the genesis soundchip. it's just the sound of late-80s/early 90s house and jungle music.

thanks for posting though. makes a great time capsule.

 

[bobbytkc]

Nintendo. Damn they're good.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Now that's how you conclude the thread.

 

[BGBW]

I think it's more likely that they noticed that we were making a big deal about it and decided to reference it.

Or they simply stayed true to the original graphics of SMB considering it is a SMB inspired stage.

Nintendo > Gaf > Nintendo

This was all us, baby!

 

[iamaustrian]

And so does Link. In Zelda II.

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that a "thought"?

Nintendo > Gaf > Nintendo

This was all us, baby!

I think the bush=cloud thingy is probably 20 years old by now

 

[PKrockin]

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that a "thought"?

Later on when you pick up some water from a fountain (with nobody around) a text box pops up saying "Want to get some water?" Text boxes don't necessarily mean someone is speaking.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Those wonderful bastards! Bravo Nintendo!

 

[Rapstah]

I think the bush=cloud thingy is probably 20 years old by now

It sold so many millions that you can't put a year on it. Some kids are bound to have noticed straight out of the box. "Hey, cool, a Nintendo! Those brushes are clouds!"

 

[The Hermit]

and the thread comes full circle... amazing.

 

[Salih]

HORY SHIT.

thread title needs an update.

Videogame facts that blow your mind (SuperMarioBros. SHOCKING SECRET INSIDE p #70 & p #9512 The Cloudbush Strikes Back)

?

 

[Zomba13]

The return of Cloudbush is actually making me want to get MK7.

 

[Mature]

The return of Cloudbush is actually making me want to get MK7.

That's back of the box feature material.

 

[Guevara]

All is forgiven, Nintendo.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

They should have put Cloudbush in as a driver...

 

[Zomba13]

They should have put Cloudbush in as a driver...

Bush as the driver, Cloud as the kart.

 

[iamaustrian]

Bush as the driver, Cloud as the kart.

nah, bush as the kart because

Spoiler

there's already a cloud as kart in MK7

 

[SovanJedi]

I can't believe this has come full circle!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I'm sure cloudbush is just a humorous bit of knowledge at NCL. I have to think they've known all along.

I doubt the MK7 thing is in reaction to GAF.

 

[Jamie OD]

Well played, Nintendo. Well played.

 

[mdtauk]

Taken from the Skyward Sword thread...

Just noticed this.

Spoiler

Ghirahim's sword = the sword in TLoZ

Its not totally identical, but similar enough to be interesting!

 

[Hasemo]

There are a few Mario facts in the newest Video game vault and I think not all have appeared in this thread (might be wrong, read it all some time ago, but it's just too many information to remember it all).

Funny how fencing swords look similar to one another, the handles look not much alike even if in a similar line of swords

I only don't remember the Ox thing ... but i do remember that image appearing here

The ones like speedrun times and peach being kidnaped wasn't either, but these are not exactly blow your mind facts =P

Also, i find completly hilarious that they used a game genie code to jump over the flagpole, since pop-fiction has footage of that done in a non-cheat way

 

[Rufus]

But the timeline, man. The timeline.

 

[abstract alien]

Jesus...

 

[zoukka]

Haha as I noticed the clouds look just like the ones in the first Mario, I had to check the bushes when I first played MK7. Yep.
