History Trivia / BrawlInTheFamily

* PromotedFanboy: Matthew Taranto's got it big: his little Nintendo-centered webcomic landed him a position at ''Magazine/NintendoForce Magazine'', the spiritual successor to ''Magazine/NintendoPower'', where he continues to make comics for to this day. Heck, {{Creator/Nintendo}} even issued him a dev kit so he could port [[VideoGame/TadpoleTreble his game]] to the UsefulNotes/WiiU and later on, the UsefulNotes/Nintendo Switch! He's even collaborated with [[Magazine/NintendoPower HOWARD PHILLIPS]], the original gamemaster, on a couple occasions, for heck's sake!

** Every 100th comic has been bigger than previous works (although [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2008/11/05/100-theveryhungrykirby/ #100]] [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny doesn't look quite as ambitious in hindsight]]). [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/200-odetominions/ #200]], [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/12/25/300-a-simple-request/ #300,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR5DaYuDWYs #400]], [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2013/07/16/500-prodigal-robot/ #500]], and [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2014/10/03/600-one-final-song/ #600]] were [[MusicalEpisode Musical Episodes]]. #400 in particular was a huge celebration of the entire Nintendo history, #500 a celebration of Mega Man history and inclusion in ''Super Smash Brothers'', and #600 concludes the strip with a look back on its history, defining moments, and previous songs.

* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The final strip was released on October 3, 2014, the same day ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DS'' was released outside Japan. Also counts as a MilestoneCelebration, as the final strip was the 600th one.

* FanNickname: "Dededad" for Dedede's unusually [[NonstandardCharacterDesign realistic-looking]] penguin father seen in the Cocoon Academy arc.

* SimilarlyNamedWorks: Shares the name with episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''.

* ScheduleSlip: Due to health problems, the 400th comic had been delayed for an indefinite amount of time, but was finally released on April 12.

** In "Turnabout Kirby", The Masked Man as Godot and Ness as Cody Hackins were also considered for members of the Jury Box.
** In "Cloud Watching", Luigi was considered to be the one who got a spiny to the face.
** "Where's Waluigi" was almost the 200th strip.

* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The final strip was released on October 3, 2014. Why is that meaningful? Because it's the same release date as the North American & European versions of ''[[Videogame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]''. Also counts as a MilestoneCelebration, as the final strip was the 600th one.
