I'm a lifelong Nintendo fan-also an animator (the Mario series was one of the big influences on me becoming one), and I got billions of ideas for my own minigames when I played "Rhythm Heaven Fever":
Future Ninty parodies pending. (Thinking of something Zelda related for St. Patrick's Day)
Xenoblade Parody finished just in time for US release of course. Any of us who played the UK version know how got dang annoying those Nebulas were before learning how to get around their self-destruction.
