Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There NO Loss, ONE Balthazar, and NO JoJo reference. Bonus panels don't count.
1: Thanks, John Hattan. :) And yeah, Balthazar is there in the bottom left corner. With a party hat.
2: The Lemmings do indeed appear as they did in their original game; from a magic trap door in the air. Nice to know you know your classics, CrazySeanDX.
3: Well... I mean, Link's hair was pink in a Link to the Past due to the limited colour palette of the SNES, right? I don't think it's misread, it's just a limitation of the technology at the time. But yeah, it's definitely a reference, Daniel Myhre.
4: What IS misread though, is Agahnim's sprite. And I have a hard time seeing him as he's supposed to be seen, so I thought it'd be cute to draw the misread version. Found by Zach.
5: And yes, Put 9-Volt In Smash Bros Please, there's a whole bunch of picture frames in the background with games that turn 30 this year. Some of those games are represented by characters at the table, some aren't.
6: Haha yeah, Terry's cap reads Boomer Fury, Very Large Mandarin Slice. Let's be honest, he is a boomer now. Just like me.
7: Yoshi and Captain Falcon did indeed make their first appearance in 1990 but I wanted to include them so I cheated and used their North American releases, Zanreo.
8: Queen Metroid is visible in the background and she has a little party had and a party blower. Glad you noticed, Trigger.
9: Haha yes Luke, I am indeed wearing a Wooden Plank shirt. Mostly because I was afraid people wouldn't know who I was, haha.
10: Yeah, I had to give Baby Metroid a pacifier to make clear I was talking about Metroid II, Jonathan Stein, otherwise people would have been like "uhm akshually Metroid came out in 1986..."
11: The reason the Lemmings are walking to the left is indeed because there's a single "stop, turn around" Lemming at the right side of the table, Tejayes!
12: And last but not least: everyone is wearing little tags with their "birth date". And I just didn't to enough research Marwan Abunura. I saw Street Fighter II released in 1990 and I didn't know that Cammy was added later. Never played Street Fighter.
After one week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.
