Friday Night Funkin<\/strong><\/em> is an indie rhythm game that has taken over YouTube, Tiktok, and various game modding websites. It features a catchy original soundtrack, stylized art, and presents itself as a love letter to the Newgrounds and Flash game community as a whole.<\/p>\n

Being the tribute that it is, Friday Night Funkin<\/em><\/a> contains many different cameos and references to various flash games and other inspirations for the title. With some\u00a0guest appearances taking center stage of certain levels, and others as background details, some cameos are more obvious than others.<\/p>\n

The popularity of Friday Night Funkin<\/em> has served as a promo for multiple characters making guest appearances in it. Cameos even go for characters that have appeared in Flash games since the earliest days of Newgrounds<\/a>. Their appearances however make sure they’re shown in a good and funky light.<\/p>\n

The first guest appearances to show up in Friday Night Funkin<\/em> are the dual opponents from the game’s second week. These opponents are Skid, the child dressed as a skeleton, as well as Pump, the child with a pumpkin on his head.<\/p>\n

Both of these characters are originally from animator Sr Pelo’s series, Spooky Month<\/em>. This series of Newgrounds animated shorts<\/a> starred Skid and Pump celebrating “Spooky Month” in various chaotic ways, including taking candy from strangers, summoning demons, and doing\u00a0the spooky\u00a0dance. The dance in question appears as Skid and Pump’s idle animation in Friday Night Funkin<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The third week of Friday Night Funkin<\/em> has players go up against a character strongly connected to Newgrounds history. This character is Pico, known for his starring role in the 1999 Flash game<\/a>\u00a0Pico’s School<\/em>, by Tom Fulp. He has since appeared in multiple Flash games by Tom Fulp and has become one of Newgrounds.com’s mascots. Many longtime Newgrounds users may recognize him as the focus of the Pico Day on-site holiday, as well as one of the old faces of the Newgrounds rating systems.<\/p>\n

In Friday Night Funkin<\/em>, Pico still has his gun from Pico’s School<\/em>, but forgoes shooting Boyfriend, and instead battles him with song like all of the previous foes. Like the other songs in the game, the ones led by Pico are beloved by players.<\/p>\n

Week five contains the most character cameos and guest appearances out of any other week. This is due to most of the songs taking place in a crowded mall during Christmas time<\/a>\u00a0with each visible background character being a reference to something.<\/p>\n
