Instructions · Help Flip! Jump! Spin! Sonic? Stinkoman's flipping as he jumps may be a reference to Sonic The Hedgehog's Spin Jump. From: Stinkoman 20X6 Real-World References Posted on: 20:54, 4 November 2005 (UTC) Arguments for: Arguments against: Many characters jump and flip in many different kinds of games. If anything, this may be more of a reference to various ninja-type games, like Ninja Gaiden. There are so many examples of characters spin-jumping that it should be considered a staple of the game genre, and not a reference to any specific game. Stinkoman cannot use his jump to destroy enemies, and he may not spin without jumping, while Sonic can do both. I think the first game to use this was probably Nintendo's wikipedia:metroid. Additional comments: This has gone in and out of references, with various examples, including Samus' Screw Attack. Maybe just make it a general reference, encompassing a load of games. I don't know... How would that be worded? "A lot of characters in video games spin when they jump. Stinkoman does too"? That seems more like a character description than anything. Do we really need a fun fact to tell us that? See above - I believe it should just be considered an integral part of the genre. Question for my own benefit: Is this an example of a TTATOT? Yes, it is. Votes to accept: Votes to decline: KieferSkunk DorianGray Trey56 Spell4yr Jay (Talk) — talk Bubsty edits Come back, chocolates!
