NO CAP

I really wish there are official promo/key art of the SFW COs

Or at least, a closer look at what exactly Billy's hat is supposed to be.

I keep writing leather because the white on Billy's hat reads as the shine of the light bouncing off leather. The hat looks closest Rojenki's and Fon Rosso's berets but it's noticeably smaller in the chibi body sprites and there's that slight white in the face portrait. It really reads more like a decoration for me because at least Rojenski/Fon Rosso's mostly covers their heads, with the hats just perched forward for style. Billy's hat looks like it's dangerously gonna slip off his face any second, unless it's pinned to his hair, like again, for decoration.

'Super Star Wars' SNES (1992)

For those who don't know, AVGN has his own video game made by developers who are close friends with him, it's a side scrolling shoot-em-up platformer with NES style graphics and tons of call backs to his reviews of various different games. Now I could go through every one of those references, but this post would end up being way too long so instead I'm gonna focus on select moments that I particularly enjoyed from AVGN Adventures (1 & 2 Deluxe)

The Browntown section of the game in question is a reference to the NES Ninja Turtles game, but this moment in particular is based on a jump he struggled with for so long until he found out you can just walk across it.

The Assholevania is all a reference to Castlevania, including Nerd's opening line which is quoted from Simon's Quest whenever the game transitions from day to night.

At the very start of Dungeons & Dickholes, the first ladder you see leads to a very elaborate death trap, this is a reference to a joke he made in his Super Pitfall review regarding the first ladder you see in that game being a beginner's trap.

The penultimate stage Virtual Insanity is red & black just like the graphics on the Virtual Boy.

One of the new bonus levels in the deluxe version features a massive truck named after the game of the same Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.

The boss battle for Dungeons & Dickholes is actually a reference to Cinemassacre's Monster Madness; The Giant Claw a 1957 horror movie with a laughably bad looking movie monster, and Nerd's quote is from the movie as everyone refers to the monster being as big as a battleship.

In the original 2nd game, the boss battle of Area 52 was the badguy in the AVGN movie, but for some reason they changed it to instead look like Darth Vader turning into a scorpion which is a reference to the Star Wars Famicom game.

This is a double reference here: the first is regarding the "Freddy's Coming" screen that appears in A Nightmare on Elm Street for NES (complete with the trademark attached). The other is Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees being called Jimmy and Bimmy which was a translation error in Double Dragon III (They misspelled Billy's name)

Fred Fuchs is still in the Deluxe version, but this time he's played by Gilbert Gottfried which he guest starred as in the Life of Black Tiger review.

And finally if you get a game over, the game over screen is written out the same way as it was joked about in his Friday the 13th on NES review.
