Easter Eggs
I have a ton of information and prior art to use as references and inspiration for Fracterebus. This also provides me with what I need to make amusing references to other things.
NOTICE: This list contains spoilers for both the lore and possibly for earning trophies.
- Golden Apple
- Eris wasn't invited to the wedding of Thetis (a Nereid) and Peleus (King of Phthia) out of fear she would cause problems. She crashed the party and threw in the golden Apple of Discord inscribed with "For the Fairest." This resulted in a big argument about who was the fairest and eventually resulted in the Trojan War. This apple will appear on a platform somewhere in the world at random and can be knocked off of the platform when in cat form.
- Save Game Code
- When saving your game, code goes by on the classic computer screen. This code is 6502 assembly code that was designed to be very similar to the code that runs when you save your game when playing the FDS version of Metroid for the Famicom. Keep in mind that the FDS persists data to the floppy disk and saves on either the game over screen or the quit screen accessed by pressing Up + A on the player 2 controller instead of being able to do it in game.
- The galaxy is at peace
- This trophy name is taken out of the intro story of Super Metroid. Completion percentage in Super Metroid is based exclusively on item collection rate, thus this trophy is for completing the game having collected all of the upgrade items.
- Miserable little pile of secrets
- This trophy name is taken out of the intro story of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Completion percentage in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is based exclusively on map exploration, thus this trophy is for completing the game having visited every screen in the game.
