Hidden Details: Maize Climbers

Welcome to the ninety-sixth episode of the Hidden Details blog!

Have you found some obscure reference or detail in this comic? A JoJo reference? A sneaky little Loss? A callback to a previous comic? Let us know what you've found in the comments! Every detail that has been found will be added to the list below. Once everything has been found, this comic will officially be marked with "all details found".

Link to the comic for your convenience

Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!

There ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar, and NO JoJo reference. Bonus panels don't count.

1: It took some research, but apparently there's only a single way to get extra lives in Ice Climbers: collect the corn in the 5th bonus level. So not just any vegetable, UltaKi, but I'll count it!
2: The polar bear enemy from Ice Climbers is watching on in the background of the third panel. Glad you noticed the boy, John Hattan.
3:
And I'm glad you noticed the second boy Balthazar to the right of the Condor, Iron Collie.
4:
Yep, Isabelle once again signed her instructions with hugs and kisses, Gavin Walker.
5:
This isn't REALLY a hidden detail and more part of the main joke, but if I had revived Charizard I would have used him, but since I haven't yet, I had to use Bowser and his fire breath to thaw Incineroar out, Marwan Abunura.
6:
Kazuya's blanket indeed has Smash logo's on it in the final panel, Luke.
7:
And poor baby Piranha Plant has the same pose and blanket as his dad. Good catch, Erin and Tejayes.
8:
The coats Isabelle is "talking" about are indeed pretty fashionable, FoxdocDylan! Kazuya's has his iconic purple flame motiv, and Incineroar has his red and black stripes!
9:
Sakurai's office door is visible, but apparently he can't be disturbed because he's working. This is indeed me coming up with a quick excuse as to why we haven't seen him around much, Dirtydan8991. In reality, I've gotten a bit weirded out by drawing a real man living with his fictional creations lately.
10:
This week's loss is visible in the positioning of the corn cobs in the final panel. Nicely found, Cameron Devera.
11: And finally, the doodles from a few comics back (B <3 Mario and Kazuya-dickbutt) are still visible on Bowser's shell and leg. Glad you noticed that, Trigger.

I can't update these because I'm on a holiday, so you'll have to wait a bit longer than usual. Thanks for you patience.

Once I'm back, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.

Comments

You gotta appreciate Isabelle’s sense of fashion. Even when she’s scolding the two muscleheads, her warm-clothing vision is on brand for Kazuya and Incineroar’s aesthetics.

Foxdoc

The loss is next to Madeline and Mario in the last panel, the corn

Daniel Fernandez

Incinerator needed to be thawed out like in Pokemon (getting hit by a fire move)

Pokedude14

Balthazar is in the 4th(?) Panel? The one with Incineroar reaching for the Pterodactyl with the cor

Robert McDaniel

It's an english expression, it means "hugs and kisses"

Luffink

Even Piranha Plants need a warm drink after thawing, it appears.

Tejayes

You can see Madeline leaving foot prints behind her when hopping to the next platform. Btw, will we get to see characters other than Kaz and Incineroar travel to collect revival items like Mario and DK for example?

Carrick RaccoonBro Inabnett

piranha plant has the same blanket as kazuya!

Erin

Isabelle made the sheet talking aout the corn giving the Ice Climbers and extra life at the 5th bonus level. She also signed it xoxo for some reason.

Gavin Walker

The clothes that Isabelle suggests for Kazuya and Incineroar are based off what they usually wear/look like, the flame pattern for Kazuya and the red and black outfit for Incineroar.

Zach

Lil' Piranha Plant is learning from Daddy and throwing a rock down the cliff in the extra panel

Luffink

Bowser thawing out Incineroar with his fire breath

kirbystarwarrior

Kirby is giving nana a single kernel of corn instead of the whole cob. Does he want the rest for himself?

Kazuya and Incineroar are collecting vegetables to get a 1up for the Ice Climbers like in their original game in the bonus levels

UltaKi

Balthazar is in the third panel to the right. Nice sunglasses.

Iron Collie

Sakurai is super busy, which is why he hasn't been in comics for a while

Dirtydan8991

Polar bear is watching kazaya frozen

John Hattan

Maize corn is titled right that represents Loss on the 6th panel.

Cameron Devera

The blanket around Kazuya has the smash bros logo on it

Luke

Faint Kazubutt and B+M drawings can be seen on Bowser's body, which he got from the Morning after Mushrooms comic.
