You call
that obscure? Anybody who's played Final Fantasy 3/6 KNOWS you're talking about Relm, and Ultros.
On this forum anyway, most of the people I've talked to seem to not be aware of the FF series before it hit the Playstation. So in that sense, yea its fairly obscure.
Some of my other references have remained unguessed, if you want to try...
...When Numbuh Two finds a ring in a box of cereal and decides to live in a cave calling it "My precious" for the rest of his life
Errrr..... that's not really even a video game reference (I mean yeah, there are Lord of the Rings video games... there's a website dedicated to listing every Tolkien-based video game in existence, in fact[1]... but LOTR was a book long before it was a video game)
[1] Do a Google search for "Tolkien Computer Games" and it should be the first one you find.
And now, here's some more of my own! I don't think these should be too obscure:
------------------------
... The KND stop using hamster-power, in favor of refractors.
... Nigel adopts a pet monkey which he depends on to keep healthy, refill weapons, and save his game... and remind Nigel what he's supposed to do when he forgets.
... Hoagie rescues Cree from a dog and expects her to fall instantly in love with him (granted, Hoagie probably behaves like that
anyway...)
...
Father: What makes you so sure you can defeat me?
Wally: I've been to Ice Man's stage.
... Any time the KND run into adults that aren't evil, they imagine a text box popping up that says "You've encountered a friendly group of Grown-ups! Do you F)ight or L)eave?"
... If they pick "Fight" some of the KND immediately turn evil.
... The badguys start attacking using flying ships that--for no explicable reason--are shaped like fish.
... [Really obscure one! 100 points if you get it!] The Kids Next Door, in trying to fight off the newest evil adult demon who is assaulting the world with legions of manly posing musclemen, find the only way to combat this new menace is to team up with two equally manly flying bald men who shoot lasers out of the holes in their heads (not to mention, partner up with a cherub and a flying ghost head occasionally) and were locked up for some reason. As the Kids Next Door are flying through the air, speakers everywhere begin playing music that sounds like a choir of angels that are only just recovering from a mosh pit... probably the exact same angels that are being carried off in cages in the background of the first level.
... The Kids Next Door start hitting people with yoyos and Japanese pipes and taking advice from cats.
... They also begin to think they can jump higher if they wear three pairs of sandles at the same time.
... KND Treehouses everywhere become truly connected using Nydus Canals.
... They live in the positive world, they've been to the negative world, now they want to get to the
minus world!
... Father is given a chance to save the world, but has to sacrifice himself to do it. He chooses to conquer the world instead. Years later, he has Nigel thrown off a cliff because Nigel evolved wings before Father did. Nigel is resurrected by a giant squid, proceeds to get his revenge only to find out, after doing tons of time travel, that Father had actually had second thoughts about not saving the world and wants Nigel to help him reverse that decision.
... The KND begin to think that they're all toys brought to life by a hand and that the hand is their real enemy!
