not quite the same but I had that point when I was little where I thought the Pokemon games were an adaptation of "the cartoon" instead of being the other way around; I didn't even realize Nintendo (well, GameFreak) made them until I saw Pikachu in Smash 64 because I never actually had a GameBoy

This one's really retarded, but I didn't know who Captain Falcon was because I never played F-Zero. So when I played him in Smash Bros. and I saw both Samus and Capt. had this glow around them when they did their "B" attack, I assumed they were related characters. So I went to a kids house and convinced them they could play Super Metroid in a 2 player mode, with the second character being Capt. Falcon. So I spent hours trying to try in a code on the title screen to unlock 2 player in Super Metroid.

To think That Kid was often probably just confused and actually had no ill intentions whenever they'd try to bullshit me about videogames.
Reminds me of one kid at school who tried to convince me once that nintendo's then upcoming console would be called "E3". I could see where his confusion had come from but he would simply not listen to my explanations.

>Does the red glow indicate ANYTHING?
If you mean the timer until it fades, no, it does not. But it's a nice indicator that you've picked up a berserk since you might think it was a medkit otherwise. I think the Doom manual says something about the redness being from the capillaries in your eyes bursting, so that's an amusing lore reason I guess.

I was convinced that Dr. Eggman/Robotnik was called "Dr. Moustache".

Also that Sub-zero was called "The Freezer". I know his name was right there on his lifebar so don't ask about this one, I can't even remember myself.

Also that in the red portal stage (in MK2) you could fight the wizards in the background and go through the portal. Actually there was a kid in my neighborhood who supposedly had done it, he was kind of a legend.

That Castlevania was called "Caster Mania".

In game canon they are the same person. In sonic generations the name change is very briefly discussed in a cutscene.
In comic canon Dr. Robotnik created a robot in his own likeness called Eggman. After Robotnik dies in issue 50, and a few other events, Snivy, Robotnik's assistant, activates Eggman to take Robotnik's place.
