The Knight from "Hollow Knight" also makes an appearance in another small, unknown indie game called "Hollow Knight".

Two other references in Bug Fables to Hollow Knight: *In the Chomper Cave, digging into a crack in one of the walls of the cave (after getting the ability to use it) and following it to the other side will pop you into a room with an Old Nail dug into a rock in the cave. Interestingly, the nail is significantly bigger than Team Snakemouth, suggesting that the Bug Fables bugs are a lot smaller than the Hollow Knight bugs. Or that it's someone else's nail. *The Item Tracker badge, which you can get in the Bee Kingdom as a B.O.S.S. system reward, is the spitting image of The Knight's helmet. That's really the end of the references though.

[@gregac1984]

It looks to me like they 100% stole the look of hollow knight

[@GardenVarietea]

@@gregac1984 Eh, it has its own identity (I mean the game looks so much more cheerful than Hollow Knight does, and it certainly has much more dialogue too), though it does have more than a couple references to the other, bug-based game. Though, it does have some references to things like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and, of course, Paper Mario.

there’s actually a pretty small game that does make a hollow knight reference called “blood will be spilled” that had the knight sitting in a saloon, i recommend playing this game it’s pretty good, though it does have some bugs litterally and figuratively.

[@miamaru414]

In the Owl House intro the giraffe plushie is featured because there’s an ongoing gag in the show that Giraffes are actually from the demon realm (the “magical world” the protagonist stumbles into) but now live in the human realm for some reason.

i really like how mossbag's intro talking about references and a scene he will remember until the day he dies is itself a reference to his video on easter eggs in hollow knight where he starts it the same way, but talks about a scene he will remember till the day he dies because he hates it.

[@mythmaker26]

I remember watching the Block with my family during dinner and I was so surprised when I heard Hollow Knight music. They all looked at me weird when I pointed it out, though.

[@thebrotatochip32]

the knight is going to appear in your bloodcells after all the hollow knight beer

[@vortexklo5650]

There's one more reference that I know. In Blasphemous there's a secret room, in a tiny space were you have to dash to access to it, inside the room there's a bunch of frames, you can find; one with the knight, one of dead cells, one of shovel knight, and I think you can find one of earthbound.

[@stairmasternem]

Amphibia - I remember seeing the nail! Honestly love the show and how much it’s creators are influenced by games and the like. I think they do it very honestly, like there isn’t a random Minecraft episode or anything.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

There are also Jojo's reference!

[@stairmasternem]

@@fernandozavaletabustos205 I might have missed that one.

[@BaraShiro]

I really liked when they did that racing episode that was clearly a reference to Mario Kart, blue shell and all

[@stairmasternem]

@@BaraShiro the show started off with Polly pulling a Pac man. Man now I’m going to have to go through and see what else is thrown in.

[@bendrowned9627]

Another interesting reference: in the less known Souls games, they feature an interesting concept of gameplay known as PvP. Once someone beats you in PvP they use the beloved phrase, “git gud”, which of course is a reference to Hornet when she enters the Hollow Knight boss fight.

[@Elalmadebudin]

I love how you used exact same description for Amphibia and The Owl House. Both are great shows, by the way.

[@poposao1]

I've gotta say, the last 3 references really upped the ante there -- I really never expected someone to talk about Turma da Monica in 2021 with Hollow Knight. But I guess it kinda makes sense since brazilian artists are always kinda tied with indie gaming in some way (Dandara included).

[@xicufwm]

I love the duality of these two videos! Also, as a Brazilian it was nice to see 2 references from Brazil (Dandara and Turma da Mônica)

[@lol-curas908]

As a brazillian, I'm very happy to see the knight in Turma da Mônica

[@Kithara1117]

I believe the video game series Dark Souls contains a reference to Hollow Knight in its death mechanic. In those games, once you die, you have to go back to where you were killed to retrieve your currency, much like how you have to defeat your shade to get your Geo back in Hollow Knight. It's somewhat of an obscure reference, so I'm not surprised you overlooked it.

I think it very cool for team cherry games to have added a reference to team cherry's hollow knight in their upcoming game "sIlksong", as they added the character "Hornet" as an hard to find easter egg, its a quite niche reference so I get if you dont know about it

You see, Hollow Knight music appearing on The Block is actually a reference to "the outside". This is the location your parents gather your food from and which you've been too afraid to go to due to the possibility of encountering the rumored shovel weilding blue man.

Bug fables has 2 other little references to hollowknight. The detector metal from bossrush looks very similar to the knight and the spot where the Berserker metal is hidden has a little nail.

[@legofan6559]

The description of that vest you showed is also an easter egg referencing Pale King's quote on how he wanted to seal away the radiance within a vessel with no voice, no will and no mind or something like that (and based on the events of the game you can tell how well that happened)
