Stinkoman's Cup

Does anyone else think the image on his cup looks like a Mr. Saturn? However, it does lack the bow and hair. Sonichu 12:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

No. It's just a face. And Mr. Saturn doesn't have a visible mouth. --Jay (Gobble) 17:15, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Chaos Emeralds

Could the Crystal Shards be a reference to the Chaos Emeralds from the Sonic games, or is it another Kirby reference? It could also be just a generic parody of those anime involving collecting random objects, but to me, Sonic was the first thing that came to mind. Shadoman 13:35, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

There are literally HUNDREDS of video games out there where you try to get crystals before a bad guy can. So no. --Jay (Gobble) 17:15, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Do we want to stick in a generic "they're a reference to the video-game cliche of having to collect stuff" sort of message? --Belthazar 21:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I immediately thought of the Chaos Emeralds. I guess I'm not familiar with other games specifically with colored crystals that must be collected before the bad guy can. If there literally are hundreds, it should be easy to tell me: what else is there? Just a couple examples will do... OptimisticFool 21:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Kirby Obsession?

While I realize that Kirby is a great series, I believe these two Real-World References are stretching it a bit too far:

1. Pan Pan sucking up Stinkoman and 1-Up is likely a reference to the Kirby series of video games, where Kirby was able to suck his enemies into his mouth and copy their powers.
2. Stinkoman and the Challenge of the Crystal Shards may also be an reference to the Nintendo 64 game: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

I believe they should be deleted, because they both seem very TTATOT. Crystal Shards appear in lots of different games and cartoons, like Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance. And the "Pan Pan sucking them up" thing is likely just a reference to how much he loves to eat. If they had played a sound effect like you hear in the Kirby games, I could agree with this one. Comments before I delete these? -- Nevadie 14:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Pan Pan has never shown this ability before, and he even seems to do a similar pose to Kirby. I don't know about the second one, but I think the first one is a reference. Shadoman 15:11, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I say we delete the second one.24.207.22.233 15:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Bad Guy's ID

The silhouette of the Bad Guy at the end of the toon bears a striking resemblance to Coach Z in a cape. --Wordmama 16:26, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Just like in Stinkoman 20X6 and Make-O Your Own Stinko, right? We know. It's speculation, and it's still on his character page. --Jay (Gobble) 17:08, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Stinko's new hairdo

Right after producing a pilgrim hat from nowhere, Stinkoman has his normal hair. But, after cutting to 1-up and then back, he has his Top Exec hair. I'm unsure if this should be a goof or a remark. -20eric06 18:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I see the exec hair both times. — Defender1031*Talk 19:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Look 'right' under the hat, first time. Then compare with the start of the toon or wherever he has his normal hair. After 1-up gives him the green crystal shard, look again, then compare with the exec hair. -20eric06 19:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

yes -20eric06 wins but the hair is moved
