Fourth wall

The fourth wall is a term used to describe the imaginary wall between the audience and the stage, or in this case the player and the video game. The term derives from a movie or television set having three walls; the fourth wall is the camera. In effect, it is the separation of the real and the imagined.

The origin of the term the fourth wall was first used in theater, where actors would acknowledge the presence of the audience through actions or speech. In the video game world, the fourth wall is often addressed in a humorous manner. In the early days of gaming, such things as putting certain information not available in-game in instruction manuals or on box art were rudimentary forms of software piracy prevention.

Bloodstreams Battles

 * If the player is using Shinko, when he uses his Star Blast move on Foody, Shinko will say "Ya gotta be kidding me."

Bloodstreams Battles 2: Return of Heroes

 * If Mjus reaches the maximum amount to use Heat Laser and tries to add more, Mjus will say "My visor is reaching so much heat, so I can't unleash a very hot laser."
 * During the final boss battle as Happy Face, Happy Face will mutter himself "It's a Nazi..." before Adolf Hitler encounters Happy Face.
 * When Shinko charges his Gun of Fires, he would spin around to fire his gun rather than shooting straight.

Super Bloodstreams Battles

 * Just like Return of Heroes, if Shinko or Strawberry Clock charges their Gun of Fires, they would spin around than shooting straight.
 * If Slicer attempts to backfire Foody's Lumi Light, Slicer seems to say "Ya gotta be kidding me." if one listens closely.

Ultimate Bloodstreams Battles

 * If one hacks Allie the Human and changes her over to a hedgehog, they can be as her but using her in battle causes the game to freeze, curiously breaking the fourth wall for no reason.

Bloodstreams Battles: Armies of the Warfare

 * Just like Return of Heroes, if Happy Face clashes a fight with Adolf Hitler, he would mutter "It's that Nazi guy again..." before Hitler says "Ach, unsinn!".
