I initially thought it was his mouth open widely until I talked to him

Nice butt

...

fucking lel

I used to play SMB with my mother when I was very young, she told me Toad was Strawberry Shortcake...I always referred to him as Strawberry Shortcake in front of all my friends, they probably thought I was gay or something.

Toad looks like he's flipping the bird in the sprite

...

He actually is flipping the bird. It's a nintendo joke. You didn't know this?

Source?

...

Saw this every time I played Legendary Super Warriors

How did people make this mistake? Did they think Red's legs spouted from his arms? And if not, where did they think his arms were?

I thought he had a coffee mug

wait what?
it's not a brown axe?
my whole life is a lie

fuck me sideways it's not a brown axe

what am i looking at here

Sprite on the right is meant to look like him sitting down

I always assumed that was it just showing you him zoomed in so you felt like him and was part of the battle.
That it goes first person

the classic

on a similar note, i thought this was a cool looking cyclops mech instead of the top of a spaceship

...

This ruined me when I first saw it

I thought it was a walking stick crossed over a sword, not a hand reaching for one.

not from a game but from an emote on steam

No Do-Duo, don't poop infront of Togechick.

posting warcraft icons is cheating

what is that supposed to be then

...

It's not reaching out, it's the Disarm icon, so the sword is being knocked out of the hand.

Fuck if I know. I tried to rationalize it for 15 years now and still have no clue.

...

The sprites for fighting in that game are in a similar style as that icon. Think Krillin in silhouette doing a flying kick.

What am I even looking at?

Hair or beanie?

a green bowl of whipped cream

I think everyone thought he had white hair. I mean who the fuck would assume that's a hat.

FOR PRINCESS TREBUCHET!!

A trebuchet. That's a catapult working via a great mass pulled by gravity accelerating a smaller mass to great speeds and throwing it.

yes but what is that shitty drawing next to it supposed to be

I guess this isn't exactly pixel art, but I always thought this was some weird guy crying cause it's so small in the game

How do you even see axe here? Are you all fucking blind

bandana

princess Trebuchet of Loch Ness

oy vey

white hair with green headband

warcraft is a goldmine of these

I thought Toads were babies

I swear I saw a rooster.

...

hu, I thought it was a sword with a large bladed hilt guard.

To this day I still don't understand what 97, 77, 76 (sword scraping the ground?), 67, 68 and 15 are supposed to be.

>thought 12 was a silver chariot wheel
>thought 33 was a grinning minotaur
>thought 43 was some weird poisoned seed
>thought 76 was some strange iron falcon
>thought 97 was a blue wind catcher net thing they use on airports to check the wind

97 is a sword swinging in a circle (the blue is motion)

43 looks like a frowing bird of some kind.

Icon is smaller in-game.

I can't "correct" the illusion. He'll always be a dude with a green bowlcut to me.

97 is a sword creating a blue blur above a golden ring
77 is a bug
76 is some kind of lance scraping the ground
67 has to do with clouds/spirits
68 is a Night Elf's helmet with a bright eye (side view)
15 is Illidan

wew

...

wtf, same.

I saw neither. I always saw Pokey Minch with green hair

I laughed when someone pointed it out to me at how ridiculous it looked.

But now I can't unsee it

Bonus stage icons from Crash Bandicoot looked like a bear wearing a birthday hat on yellow parchment to me, years later I've learned that it was supposed to be Tawna.

yeah

you will need to drawn because i can't see it

...

I still see them like that to be honest.

>a dude

Not some dude, that's Pokey. Clearly

this reminds me, i used to think the Cyberdemon was blind, i just couldn't notice his red eyes

>don't see it
>zoom out
>see it

kek

#13 is a crab claw

i always wondered why they had a crab claw representing critical hits

i still don't know what the fuck it is

68 is that one night elf bitch with the hula-hoop

Imagine if the hair was a map or some shit instead. Imagine seeing it as a face over a map.

It's a sword slicing through someone in armor

>supposed to be Tawna

I've lived a life full of lies

i see it

This is what I saw on shitty CRT tv 20 years ago.

...

To help you visualize 97

Oh boy I've been waiting to post this.

I just drew this and drawing it out made me realize how fucking retarded it was when I couldn't even find any pixels for the eyes or nose.

For whatever reason, for the past 20 years, I've thought the statue of a hoplite was like Caesar tilting his head back while donning an armor and a weapon.

I only realized it was a hoplite when I saw AoE buildings being posted in a thread a few weeks ago.

...

Fuckin doggy emperor.

I remember the FFVI speedrunner Essentia mentioning that her daughters knew him as the doggy emperor from watching her play it so much and even they thought he looked like one.

Princess Trebuchet a qt.

That would also make some sense, but then they show us. Totally fooled me until someone else pointed it out.

Yeah I see it too. Its beak is on the right side and it's crowing up at the sky, right?

...

It's a beanie.

...

...

shit eating grin

It's not a face but the upper body on the end of a staff. Never realized before some caster mentioned it.

This can also be looked as as a floating buff armor man with a cool helmet and a genie leg.

Holy shit it all makes sense now

This is what is known as an establishing shot.

This looks like an actual video game character

This is embarrassing, but I never saw the "S" in the superman logo.
For the longest time I only saw the yellow "symbols", thinking it was alien text.
Only noticed it after Bill in Kill Bill mentions it in the end of Vol2.

I refuse to refuse to believe the middle.
