[edit] Cameos

One of the more notable cameos features two of the biggest video games stars - Mario and Yoshi. You'll find two miniature action figures of these two characters on a table in Otacon's office. If you shoot Mario it will make the 1-up noise and give you full health. If you shoot Yoshi he will make his signature Yoshi! sound.
