Did anyone else notice this, or am I the only one? Take note at Omochao's eyes... Then look at this: See what's going on here? Weird, right? But then again, ChuChu Rocket! was developed by Sonic Team, so that makes a little sense. Anyone else want to comment on this?
That's kind of funny. I wouldn't be too surprised if it was intentional. This is probably the kind of thing that's better suited to the Supreme Topic of 'Other' Knowledge, though.
The "swirly eyes" thing actually means something when it comes to Japanese manga/anime/whatever - it came up in discussion a few years ago when Professor E.gadd showed up in Luigi's Mansion. I have completely forgotten what the reasoning behind it was, but it's a really common thing and not exclusive to these two characters.
