(Note: image was taken from a fan-translated ROM hack) Famicom Wars was released in 1988, making it the earliest known direct Samus cameo. Famicom Wars marks the first title in the Wars series, which weren’t brought over to North America until Advance Wars on the GameBoy Advance. The CO of the Red Star Army on Crater Island dons a familiar helmet, and is named “Samsoon,” also localized as Samusun. One of the most well-hidden cameos exists in Japan-only Famicom game, Famicom Wars. (Click the Komayto image on the left for the manual page) The Komayto returns in the GameBoy sequel, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, however its appearance is different than that of its NES one.Ĭlick here for the return of the Komayto featured in the 3DS Remake, Kid Icarus: Uprising! The Kid Icarus instruction book heavily implies that the crossover was intentional. Chronologically, they are the first Metroid cameo found in another Nintendo game.

Komaytos are metroid-like creatures that attack in groups in the final vertical level, near the top.
