Daily Easter Egg #16: The Wind Fish in Kirby Air Ride

That's obviously the Wind Fish. Normal whales can't fly, don't be silly!

Well, I never thought I'd be finding a Legend of Zelda easter egg in a Kirby game, but video games are full of secrets and surprises, and never fail to surprise me! The infamous Wind Fish from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening can be found in the Frozen Hillside level in Kirby Air Ride. It's not an exact match (it's missing the psychedelic colors, for example), but it looks like the Wind Fish to me, and a lot of sources agree that it is, in fact, the sleeping giant. 

I usually look grumpy when people wake me up too, Wind Fish

Daily Easter Egg #13: FireRed and LeafGreen's "Buggy" Easter Egg

I think they need to hire a new landscaper...

This area in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen called "Pattern Bush" is located just a little north of Fortune Island.  It's pretty strange looking when you walk through it during normal gameplay, and only bug type Pokémon can be found here. When seen from above, it's pretty obvious that this grass makes some sort of image, or dare I say, pattern. While the trainers there speculate that this area's strange look is some indication that treasure is hidden there, the developers at Game Freak had a completely different intention when designing this area.
As it turns out, the grass is supposed to look like a circuit board from the original Red, Blue, and Green cartridges. And as for only bug type Pokémon being found there, it's a reference to how buggy the original games are. At least the developers can acknowledge that the original games are less than perfect (I'm looking at you Genwunners)!
