Thane Gaming | Gaming References in Cartoons: Steven Universe - Thane Gaming @ThaneGaming | Uploaded March 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I recently discovered and caught up with every episode of Cartoon Network's Steven Universe. Of course, I noticed that there's a great amount of video game inspiration and homages to the medium, being showcased everywhere from the music to background design. I did a lot of research and found just about every gaming reference there currently is in the show, because I thought it'd be interesting to present in video form.
This cartoon is filled to the brim with references to gaming culture- including many nods to fan favorite franchises like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Please enjoy this compilation of all of them- and be sure to let me know if I missed any.
