Also the only time when they mention Tatanga for the first time in almost 20 years.
That was the biggest fasle advertising ever. It had nothing to do with Mario Land except that it was also on a handheld. But so was New Super Mario Bros but they didn't call that "Land" either. >_>
I have been planning to make an index for everything we have amassed so far for a while now, just to see how much it really is. I aplogize that some of it is a bit sloppy and there are no page indicators, but I'm feeling rather shitty for reasons I don't want to get into so my ethusiasm just sort of died at one point, but hey at least it's something:

Damn, that's pretty cool. Anyway I fixed it up.
I just saw that I never mentioned it before, but the Bulldog in it's Mario Tennis (GBC) cameo uses it's Land 3 design:
It makes sense given that the court uses the Land 3 theme song, but it's still a detail worth pointing out since the thing has several different designs.

That's a very nice little reference! Good find there!
It turns out that the Diamond City race tracks have more stuff in them that I didn't list back on page 3, namely:
A Wario Worldesque Gold statue appears on the logo for the Wario Cup:
Wario here is clearly based of this artwork from World:
Also the button with the W on it comes from World's manual and is also a sticker in Brawl.
If my eyes don't decieve me then this is the guitar logo from Club Sugar:
Yep, this is Dribble & Spitz's Taxi place:
If anyone else wants to look and see if there is more here is the video I was watching:

Why do you take pictures instead of screenshots?
You could use a snipping tool. Windows 7 has one included with it.
Now that you mention it I do have one of those, mind you outside of rare cases I usually take pics directly from my TV, since I can just snap whatever I need, without having to scour for a screenshot or video that has what I'm looking for, so I probably won't use this very much, but thanks for the advice anyway.
