Mario and Link cameo in South Park
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are at it again. Having already dedicated entire episodes of their parody-totin' 2D cartoon to World of Warcraft and (more relevantly for us) the Wii, the pair have now included cameos from Nintendo's two biggest names in the show.
Admittedly, Mario and Link made a far more fleeting appearance in the October 17 show than the Wii itself did last year, but still, it's a pretty neat touch. In the episode, Stan, Kyle, Butters, Jimmy and Kenny are all whisked off to Imaginationland, where all the things created by human imagination reside. Eric's revised Salt-N-Pepa lyrics are probably there somewhere.
There are three things to take note of here. One: the 'E' on Mario's cap, which we presume is a way of staving off Nintendo's ravenous pack of lawyers. Two: we're not entirely sure that's Link, as he has black hair and is wearing a dark red tunic (the Goron Tunic, perhaps?), but then who else could it be? Three: there are other game characters in there as well, including a Ghost from Pac-Man and the Prince from Katamari Damacy.
To see if you can spot more, go past the break for a video.
