Notes
- As of July 5th, 2006, a mimic, if defeated, will drop the item that you would have gotten if you hadn't found a mimic in that barrel.
References
- The "you thought these things could only mimic chests!" is a reference to an RPG cliché where chests are sometimes monsters. Some examples where this is true are: NetHack, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and Tales of Symphonia.
- The 'bag of pretzels' attack may reference an incident with President George W. Bush, who choked on a pretzel at home while relaxing, causing him to lose consciousness for several minutes.
- "No thanks, I'm trying to cut down" may be a reference to the 1970s children's television show "The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show," in which one recurring element was a young network executive (Fabulous Freddy, Network Vice-President in Charge of Kids' Programming) who would offer the three brothers some sort of candy, such as a cherry-flavored lemon drop or a chocolate-covered ant, and the three would respond in unison, "No thanks -- <finger snap> -- we're tryin' to cut down." However, "No thanks, I'm trying to cut down" is a very common phrase used by nearly everyone who's ever dieted.
- The fifth grade teacher attack is probably a reference to the Nickolodeon show, The Adventures of Pete and Pete. In one episode, a main character's history teacher has varicose veins exactly matching a highway map.
