Press Start! is a series of children's early chapter books written and illustrated by Thomas Flintham as an Affectionate Parody of video games.Set inside the world of a series of Fictional Video Games a boy, Sunny, plays as part of the Framing Device, the book series follows Super Rabbit Boy, your stock video game hero, and his video-game-esque adventures facing off Big Bad meanie King Viking, all while common (and usually classic) Video Game Tropes and Shout Outs to familiar video games are thrown around (even the characters are a Cast of Expies!).Not related to the 2007 film Press Start, though both the book series and film are about video games. | |

Pac Man Fever: Subverted. While there are plenty of classic video game tropes, akin to the stereotypical depiction of video games, they are played rather for nostalgia of a good old retro video game days, and the Super Rabbit Boy games become more complex like modern video games. | |

Cast of Expies | |
| Press Start / int_62ec4b15 | comment |
Cast of Expies: A majority of the characters are based on the familiar video game characters people know and love. Simon the Hedgehog is the most obvious. He is blue and fast. Super Rabbit Boy himself is based on Super Mario. They both, when consuming a Power-Up Food item, become taller, stronger, faster, and can jump higher, and of course are your familiar video game hero archetype. Singing Dog, a white singing dog, is likely based on K.K. Slider. King Viking resembles Doctor Eggman. They are both mustachioed fat Big Bads who engineer a robot army and sometimes ride Humongous Mecha. He also resembles Wario to a lesser extent, for their designs and roles as Foils to the hero. One of the Animal Town villagers, a white mouse, wears Mario's classic "red-overall" outfit. Pilb the Plob's disguise is based on the Pac-Man ghosts. The ghosts in Robo-Rabbit Boy, Go! and their Queen Spooky are based on Boo and their King Boo. Billip from All-Stars resembles Pac-Man and has a Power Copying ability like Kirby. | |
