Wild Woody
- ... that the video game Wild Woody contains an easter egg that displays a topless mermaid if certain items are collected in order? Source: "At one point in the game, during a level involving pirate treasure, there is an Easter Egg where if you collect treasure in a very specific order, you will be "rewarded" with a topless mermaid who certainly appears as though she was meant to evoke Ariel from A Little Mermaid." [1]
- ALT1:... that musician Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal was given a single month to compose the full score for the video game Wild Woody? Source: "I had a 1-month deadline to write and record a title song, 16 game level songs, as well as score the 6 animated story-line and transitional sequences, and 5 different "game over" sequences."

Definitely a GA, very much prefer the original hook, the only thing that stands out is that according to the article, it was a "sketch" of a mermaid, although the source given here doesn't say it's a sketch. I know it's a video game, but it does matter as to whether it was an actual in-game mermaid or just a picture of one... Otherwise this is good to go. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus!

- Fixed the article's wording to make it clear that the sketch mechanic creates flesh-and-blood beings in-universe, since the said mermaid is animated and not just a picture. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 19:28, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
