Similar boss mystery

Take a look at the following two bosses :

Bowser / Koopa Clown from "Super Mario World" (0:44)

Link

Clown from "Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse" (7:16)

Link

- both are clowns
- when the Mickey clown is in the air, his feet move like Koopa's propeller
- The Mickey clowns head and Bowser go inside, before the springs / enemies jump out
- The springs / enemies jump out the same
- When Koopa gets mad (3:24), he jumps around like the Mickey clown
- Listen to the sound when Koopa zooms into the screen (1:36), then listen to the sound when the clown punches Mickey (7:29)

At first i thought they copied Mario, so i went to check when the games came out :
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse - November 20, 1990
Super Mario World - November 21, 1990

Confused

Normally it's worse than pure chance.

Mario Kart is Power Drift...

Sonic Racing 2 to be released later this year features flying, as seen in the intro of Sonic Racing 1 with Tails. Last xmas 3DS featured flying in it's Mario Kart. Sonic Racing 2 has been in the works for almost 2 years now.

Nintendo have always borrowed Sega's idea's, but it's Sega's fault for not making the most of their original ideas in the first place. It's only this week in fact we get to play the arcade version of Super Hang-On via XBOX360 & PS3 - how late. Should of been ported to Sega Saturn years ago in some Sega AGES Vol.2 along with Power Drift & Turbo OutRun. Rolling Eyes

@MIK UK
"Flying" is Nintendos idea since Diddy Kong Racing (N64) released in 1997, which is IMHO the best childish racing game ever !

I really can't see the similarities you pointed out, no matter how many times I watch them.
