Funny thing is, Kid Icarus and Metroid universes have 1 big thing in common... On the NES, the were both built using the same engine, which is also why Komaytos showed up.

I love all the references to other games, my thought about him knowing about it all is he was playing Nintendo games for the last 25 years.
