- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Game Developer's Blog - Nitrome: More Gunbrick! → comment by Nitrome: Mr smooth is based on a number of charcaters [sic]. Prince of Persia, flashback/another world, Canabalt. You see the characters in platform panic don't always homage a single character. For instance, Rosey cheeks boy could be seen as the taito characters of the ameiga [sic] age (bubble bobble, rainbow islands, liquid kids) or kirby even. Used to be a dragon is referencing bubble bobble though. ;), 23 Dec 14, retrieved 23 Dec 14.
