Curtain Calls in Games

Curtain calls showing the characters in video games are fairly uncommon. "Parades" showing the characters without naming them is used in a variety of games, including Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario, both of which featured actual parades. Curtain rolls showing the names of the characters are also used, notably in Mother 2 and its sequel Mother 3, in which the characters scroll from bottom to top with their name underneath. Some games, including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System's Donkey Kong Country and Art of Fighting 2, show characters performing a typical special attack or delivering characteristic lines of dialogue in the character's level as part of the credits.

Famous quotes containing the words curtain, calls and/or games:

    You shall hang the curtain under the clasps, and bring the ark of the covenant in there, within the curtain; and the curtain shall separate for you the holy place from the most holy.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 26:33.

    For in this yellow grave of sand and sea
    A calling for colour calls with the wind
    That’s grave and gay as grave and sea
    Sleeping on either hand.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
    Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
    Before their plays and games were organized,
    They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
    And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
