Video Game Easter Eggs  

Some of the oldest mario racing games Had a Mario branded Malboro posters, but Nintendo changed it the same way how they changed that Soda guy in that one Mario Box Fighting game.

3:39 that isn’t Jon St. John, it’s another well-known FPS voice actor named Gianni Matragrano. He’s known for voicing a lot of Duke Nukem memes on RU-vid as well as doing voice work for quite a few indie shooters including Ultrakill, Turbo Overkill etc.

The cult leader outfit at 4:49 is a reference to Cult of the Lamb Also at 5:30 you can see the Cubicle brand logo from Going Under, which the same team behind Another Crabs Treasure made

With the pink suit being named, "Joji's legendary suit", it feels all the much better

1:32 I like how it even says "Joji's legendary suit" which it's not even hiding that it's a Filthy Frank easter egg

I first thought of Mario Andretti who drove for Marlboro..

There was a Marlboro based easter egg in the Japanese version of Mario Kart 64. There were several billboards around the tracks with parodies of real life brands. One of these was Marioro. I'm not sure if this is what the Another Crab's Treasure easter egg is based on, but it's certainly a fun coincidence.

In Another Crab's Treasure, you can find an outfit in The Sands Between thats a reference to Solaire from Dark Souls, also, you're able to find the Chosen Undead's helmet at the end of a platforming section very late into the game that is both hidden and difficult, you get a hidden achievement for finding it as well.

4:00 I'm almost sure that's Gianni Matragrano

I thought I got rickrolled by that QR code from the game Another Crabs Treasure. XD

In another crabs treasure, if you kill the boss in the wandering sands before you get the map piece two you will get the 3rd piece before, then you place 1st and 3rd map piece on the cereal box as you don't have the 2nd map piece you unlock special dialog ;)

I think that in this case, the turtle in the sewer is just...a turtle in a sewer. Rather than being a TMNT ref, it refers to the much older meme of unwanted pets being flushed into the sewer, including alligators and goldfish, as well as turtles.

Other cool racing game character easter egg is this game called Kart Riders: Drift and one of the first free characters is named Brian and his description says he's an ex cop, I'm confident its a reference to Paul Walker's character from his F&F character

6:05 "Hey this is pretty cool 👍" -dani

8:20 Also in the Talos Principle, I forget the region but "the ice mountain" region; if you go to the "tetris bridge gate", walk up the ramp behind it, and sprint jump at the gate, you can clip inside of it. Sprint jumping to the solid barriers the enclose the tetris bridge puzzle, the far-left corner has a hidden speaker that plays various, mostly random, sounds when you activate the nearby button.

There is afk voice lines in borderlands 2 I’m pretty sure one is even calling the player to get back from the bathroom

0:20 That is one hundred percent a reference to Dead Rising, as his name is clearly a riff of Frank West, the protag from the first game. If they each have unique arenas, then his showdown taking place either in a mall or a vegas like strip will almost certainly confirm that (unless the docks are where you fight him, which could be a reference to the home base in Dead Rising 3)

THE. POPSICLE. STICKS. HIT THE POPSICLE STICKS

Oh no i heard the iconic line of Doaks and now i want to watch Dexter agian

Many cool games I didn't know about today, sweet!

5:11 the soda can on the grabs back is the same brand of soda from the game "going under"

did you know, in another crabs treasure, if you find a way to get the camera into krill's body, you will see a beating heart as well as, if you step under a magnet, your compass will go nuts

In Cyberpunk 2077, there is an arcade mini game in the Biotechnica flatlands called Arasaka Tower 3D. I think the mini game is a reference to Doom 1993

"macaroni mountain" Anyone else immediately think "let's go to candy mountain Charlie?"

Genuinely thank you for making such interesting and well crafted content, you are genuinely a fantastic creator and put so much effort into it, keep it up dude

1:46 I didn't guess that it was referencing Dexter. Instead I guessed that it was that infamous scene from Nope.

Started watching this content and am so hooked

Frank woods is also from the Black ops series

Crab game was actually made by Dani so it makes sense that the Karlsonvibe easter egg would be something he also made. Dani’s been mia for a while now. Hope he’s working on his Karlson game. Can’t wait to play it.

@5:08 it's specifically a reference to Mario Kart 64 that has the same Marlboro like advertisment for Mario

The link between Mario and Marlboro is that Mario famously said "If you do drugs, you go to hell before you die"

5:12 In one of the versions of Mario Kart (I think the JP edition of MK64) there were parody versions of various brands, like motorsports tend to have. And Nintendo had a play off Marlboro called "Marioro." So it may be a weird ape off of that.

Only thing I could think of with Mario and Malboro is maybe some of the color schemes on some of the cigarette boxes? I believe there's red boxes of Malboro out there that could match Mario's red color scheme. Though Mario isn't purely red, he's red and blue, so I don't know how much weight that holds.

the game The Talos Principle 2 the banana not only refers to the game My Friend Pedro but also, as far as i'm concerned, refers to an artwork done by Maurizio Cattelan.

Hi Captain, in Fallout 76 you can find a Over Use Easter Egg. When you check in a fridge in Whitespring Golf club. You can find a toy clown with a red balloon, i think is a reference of "It"

Mario also wears white and red when he has fire powers, much like the Marlboro branding. Maybe adds to that reference?

There’s actually a reference in the Maid Krill outfit. The description of this is the same quote from the beginning of Disney’s The Incredibles

the "cult leader" outfit in another crabs treasure also seems to be a reference to cult of the lamb

I was expecting the Coconut Mall QR code to take you to Crab Rave honestly.

So glad you mentioned it was jack benton not chuck from dead rising like so many thought.

In another crab's treasure there's a reference to a Christmas story with the sexy leg and the fishnets without the lampshade and also there's a CVS receipt that is used as a bridge

in 5:31 you miss the reference of "Going Under" on a cartboard you see "Cubicle"

Very good

In Another Crabs Treasure that Cult Leader poncho is a reference to Cult of the Lamb, a VERY good game that everyone should play. It’s the garment worn by the lamb himself.

Another Carb Treasure has many references to Going Under, the previous game of the developpers

I'm so excited for more secrets

In Another Crab's Treasure, the Lil' Bro shell is a reference to Slowbro from Pokemon and the outfit under the Mr. Krabs one is a reference to cult of the lamb.

The Mario Cigarettes was also used in Mario Kart 64 in Japan I believe, but removed for Western Areas

omfg another crabs treasure dropped the ball on that qr code it should have taken you to the crab rave song

Also in the store where you buy shells the little brochell is a tribute to the Slowbro shell from pokémon

In Trail Out, Big Cheese's backup drivers in demo derby battle, drives purple cars, this is nod to Big Smoke's betrayed Grove Street, and assigned to Ballas. Also, if beats him, he reenact iconic Lamar roasts Franklin meme from GTA V. There's few more easter egg in Trail Out, like Drive inspired outfit for Mihalych.

hi captain i found 1 easter eggs 1 hidden detail and one wierd thing that i dont know if its something easter egg: in fortnite there is a new midas skin that has challanges the first one is called midas rise the second one is called et tu brutus thats a refference when brutus stabbed ceasar to death bc thats what ceasar said (i dont know if you can still find this one) hidden detail: in the first spiderman game if you fast travel you sit in the train but when the sabel agents shoot at you while flying trough the city if you fast travel then you will hide outside the train and if you play call of duty modren warfare 2 in the level hornets nest in the first big open fight area if you hold right till you hit a small building if you go trough that you have to exit using the otehr door and than on the buildings your facing you find a bunch of plam leaf looking plants if you go trough them you will find it

Idk if this has been covered. But in gta 4 the lost and damned, in the mission "was it worth it" Your being chased by mafia and the objective is to simply kill them before you get killed. Well in the game you gain access to clay and terry both are contacts that you can call when your in a pinch. Well during the mafia chase i called terry for some backup, well instead of arriving in their bikes, instead they plan an ambush for you to drive to and ambush the mafia. The game never prompted me about calling terry and clay during that specific situation for triggering the ambush. I only got prompted about calling backup is when its introduced in earlier in the game.

6:23 if you read it and replace the word macaroni with cake it's just a reference to the first Portal game

6:34 You did not seriously miss that that's a portal reference -

Another link to the Marlboro/Mario easter egg, There was an F1 driver by the name of Mario Andretti who was sponsored by Marlboro during the 80s.

Frank Woods is also the name of Mason's long-time army buddy from back in Vietnam in the original Black Ops series, maybe the name Frank Woods is not only a reference to other Franks but also him?

Hey captain, there's so many references in true crime la

The Marlboro/Mario correlation is probably from the correlations of "gas/oil" companies from the Mario kart tracks.

So nobody is gonna realise that Frank Woods is the name of the most iconic Call of Duty character ever, as well as the oil rig and prison referencing Woods and Masons missions

I’m glad Dani got in one of these

YES A VIDEO!!!

Frank woods is also a reference to the call of duty character, don’t know how u haven’t figured that out yet

So basically, in Luigi's Raceway and other tracks in Mario Kart 64 for the N64. There is a couple of ads on the wall near the "shortcut" referencing Marlboro with the name Marioro instead.

what i believe is that the quote "macaroni mountain is a lie, there's no macaroni here", is a neat easter egg. but there is an easter egg within this easter egg. the first part of the quote is a definite nod the game portal.

Did you know that in Assassin's Creed Origins, if you get the tools that were taken from the Blacksmith before he gives you the side quest, after you talk with the Blacksmith to get the quest, Bayek will mention that he's done the quest already, it's a cool little detail.

hello captain happy late may the 4th be with u👍👍

If you arent aware, dani is the developer of crab game and dani2 is his second channel

Crab game has a level with a giant crab boss so it does in fact have a crab in it

Among Us easter eggs should be joining the Overused Video Game Easter Egg Of The Week segment soon.

I'm not sure if you cover mobile games on this channel but if you download a game called "Mad Out 2" and go under the prison, in the tunnels, there's a room that features the ninja turtles along with pizza and other things down there. It was surprising to find in such a violent game but I'm sure it could be considered an "Over used Easter Egg over the week." Thanks for the videos brother. I can honestly say, I've watched every single video you've ever released and I'm proud of your endurance man. For a person like me, having something to take my mind away from the world is a blessing, so thanks, Capt 😎

What about the ninja turtle quest in Borderlands 2? You take some pizza to waterworks and access a special area where you are attacked by 4 ratmen.

5:04 it may be a stretch but i thinked that is a reference to mario kart 64 where the jp version shows the billbord called marioro

You can finde draft punk in Zombie Night terror, chapter 2 dj level

Yo captain 5:11 with the mario cig's it both to the cig brand and mario cus back in the day mario kart tracks had cig ad's (i think on the 64 theres a few)

5:03 this could be a double reference, as in Japanese version of Mario Kart 64 they had parody advertisement of a product called Marioro with color scheme or the Marlboro brand.

in crab game there is indeed a crab

5:20 the japanese versions of ario kart contained references to cigarettes

I think the cigarette easter egg is that Mario is Italian, and Italians are stereotypically know to be smokers.

About the Mario/Marlboro thing, back in Mario Kart 64 Marioro signs are the replacement for Marlboro signs that, in that time, where visible on racing track all over the wordl. I think that developers, as in the Macdonalds/Among Us thing, are trying to replace brand for videogame caracters. Maybe there is a Sonic we still have to find.

I think it's Frank west frank woods I believe there hinting at dead rising for sure ! 😊

In growhouse map in mw3 there’s a van with bullet holes in the same spots from breaking bad

1:31 I love Joji, Filthy Frank, and Pink Guy

LOL there's a white claw in another crabs treasure

I was thinking the banana was something about the banana from the amazing world of gumball

Frank Woods could also be a nod to B.J. Blazkowicz, just cause the outfit looks similar to what B.J.s was in the new colossus

In Another Crabs Treasure, if you constantly get hurt by the sea urchin in the coral reef, something happens

I don't know if it counts as an easter egg, a detail, or is just coincidental asset reuse, but on the Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare Zombies map Rave In The Redwoods, there a lot of 6-packs of "Porter Dark Beer", which as far as I can tell is a reference to Max Porter, the Treyarch employee who created the iconic Raygun

frank woods is also the secondary character in black ops 1

crab game was made by dani, so he put his own reference in the game. that's funny

1:45 the one on the red container is clothed like luffy from one piece

The lack of macaroni is a reference to Portal's cake, which is a lie.

There’s a reference to Hollow Knight in Another Crabs Treasure.

the cigarette is because on Mario Kart 64 there where outdoors with Marioboro on then, so.. a Malboro named Mario

no clue if it was in a vid before,tried to search about it abit but also no clue if its a vanilla feature , but in fallout 4 ,inside super duper mart in lexington,you get inside and move to the left all the way to a table with 3 skeletons, 2 women and 1 man 'skeletons' , the man slowly looks at you and rises the hand to let you know you can sit, while the woman slowly turns to look at you (one that is next to the man) ,sittin has the hand lowered a bit,gettin up has the hand getting back up . Whoever did see a video about it and was already on this channel do let me know so i can focus on some other details if i can find anything.

I hope my alan wake 2 one that i explained will be on here oh and theres a another detail in nba2k24 in the my career city you can go into the rec center and when your waiting to squad up with a few players theres a clock behind yous and it reflects on real world time pretty touchy

Btw, I figured it out, "Frank Woods" Is a reference to Ryan Gosling.

I know in Wobbly Life you can find an Indiana Jones outfit in a cave

How many hidden cutscenes are there in trail out tracks ?

But how do you use the three turtle shells?
