==Other appearances in media== ===Video games=== Aside from being featured in the various ports of the original ''Karnov'' game and the ''Fighter's History'' games, he has found his way in several Data East and other gaming titles, usually as an enemy: * In ''[[Garyo Retsuden]]'', only released in [[Japan]], Karnov is featured as a regular enemy. * In ''[[Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja]]'', he is featured as the first level's boss. A slightly different rendition of the boss music is used when fighting him, which contains the familiar melody from the original ''Karnov'' game. A grey version of Karnov appears later in the game. According to the credits sequence of DragonNinja (the Japanese version of Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja), this version of Karnov is called Kusamoci Karnov. * In ''[[Trio The Punch - Never Forget Me...]]'', which was only released in [[Japan]], features several different enemy renditions of Karnov. Some of these bizarre takes are of enormous stone statues and even mini versions of him. * Although not a direct cameo, the guard boss from the [[Gaelco]] game, ''[[Big Karnak]]'', is almost identical to Karnov's and Kusamoci Karnov's sprites from ''Bad Dudes vs. DragonNinja''. * Karnov appeared as an enemy in the game ''[[Tumblepop]]''. * Karnov appears in the alley background of the Neo-Geo game ''[[Street Hoop]]''. He is shown wearing a shirt with a "K" on it. * Karnov appears in the credits of the freeware game ''I wanna be the guy''' in the "Hall of former the guys". * Karnov appears as the end level boss of the game ''[[Fighters History]]'', and becomes a playable character in its sequels. * Karnov appears as an enemy in the arcade game Joe & Mac Returns. ===Pop culture=== *[[Robby Roadsteamer]] wrote a song called "Kathy Sucks At Karnov" for his 2008 release ''This Album Syncs Up To Toejam And Earl'' *In 2005 Galaxy454 Productions released the 30 minute film ''KARNOV'' based on the post-video game adventures of Jinborov Karnovski. [http://www.galaxy454.com Karnov the movie] *In a stranger vein, Karnov appeared as the protagonist of [[Something Awful]]'s ''[[Dance Dance Revolution]]'' parody, ''Dance Dance Karnov''[http://www.somethingawful.com/d/feature-articles/flash-game-dance.php]. *In March and June 2006, Karnov once again appeared as the subject of Something Awful updates. "The Karnov Playsets" (1 and 2) included short clips featuring Karnov in a variety of surreal and nonsensical settings.
