@Snigglegros, @cowboyjosh - I knew there would be more I'd never heard of. Keep 'em coming if you think of them!
I mean. Does Anime Standing count.
There's a ton of Ace Attorney parodies out there, some examples being Socrates Jones and Aviary Attorney.
im sorry you've never heard of Pyst. But it's better late than never.
syobon action, tho if you were to include general genre parodies rather than parodies of a specific game/franchise this list would expand tenfold
Decided to keep this list to games that are a parody of games.
@moschidae - My soul feels worse for finding out about this.
@Drax - are those parody? Or just clones? 🤔
@kleptomato - I'm going to try and keep this very specific to parodies of specific games or at least series I think.

this isn't really a game but I think WinBlows 98 deserves a shoutout. I think it's from the people that made pyst too
Buta-san Quest is a parody of JRPGs from the 80's, but mostly Dragon Quest (obviously)
Super Amazing Wagon Adventure is absolutely one. Also 'Shadow of Loot Box'.
Question: Do the awful PETA parodies count? Like Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals, Super Tofu Boy and Pokémon Black & Blue?
(also I didnt think Mighty Final Fight was a parody?)
@Jamesbuc - Several places refer to it as a parody of Final Fight (Wikipedia, Final Fight fandom). Iv'e not actually played it.
@Funbil - I think that's a solid entry for Dragon Quest / Final Fantasy. Thanks!
Oh what about SD Snatcher?
OH Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti would be an excellent choice too
of course it's an excellent choice, I made it. I always make the best choices.
How about The Last Hero of Nostalgaia
Do we games count? Peasant's Quest is a direct parody of King's Quest
Organ Trail would be a good fit as well, and I'm pretty sure Retro City Rampage is a direct parody of the original top-down GTA
Does Guacamelee (Super Metroid) count for this list? 🤔
@Elkmane - That is a good call I think. Thanks!
@thealexmott - Organ Trail and Peasants Quest are pretty spot on. I didn't realise about Retro City Rampage either. Good calls!

@CDX - That's not so much a parody as just a take on the Metroidvania genre I feel. Unless I'm missing something as I've never played Super Metroid 🤔
@Electrode - Ha! Had no idea about this, perfect.

Kill the Plumber (Super Mario Bros.)
@gril_cheese - This is great, perfect for this list, thanks!
Virtua Fighter Kids?
@Mapache - It's a self parody similar to Final Fight and Snatcher I guess?
Postal 2 as a parody of the first game
