Possible Cameos

Cyborg, possibly inspired by Kano from Mortal Kombat.

Saitine, possibly inspired by Satan's Hallow.

Sorceress, possibly inspired by Mishaela from Shining Force.

1011001, possibly inspired by Cyborg of Cyborg Justice.

Angel Kids from Angel Kids.

Pitfall Harry from Pitfall!.

JetMan from JetPac.

Deleted Cameos

Various characters were originally planned to appear in the film, as evidenced in early screenshots and concept art, but were ultimately left out of the final cut for unknown reasons.

Glass Joe from Punch-Out!!

Bubbles from Clu Clu Land

False rumored cameos

These are characters that people believe to have seen in the movie while not actually being there. Most of these can even be found in many lists of cameos around the web.

• Maximus from Tangled: a white horse in Game Central Station was rumored to be Maximus, but it's actually a generic white horse with no similarity to him other than its color. Oddly enough, in "The Gamers Guide", a special feature in the Blu Ray version of the movie that shows some of the hidden easter eggs, also highlights the horse.
• Lian-Chu from Dragon Hunters: It was believed that he made a cameo, but a closer look shows that it is actually Vladimir from Tangled.
• Sora from Kingdom Hearts: one of the sprites in the gameplay scene of Tapper was believed by many to belong to Sora. It was actually proven to just be one of the many generic cowboys in the game, only with matching colors to Sora. a graffiti of his crown necklace appears in the portal to Sugar Rush.
• Moogle from the Final Fantasy series: In one of the first renders of Game Central Station, some white and red shapes were believed to be Moogles with their pom-poms. The same image viewed in higher definition shows those shapes to actually be the shirts and pants of generic sport games characters.
• It was believed that Deku Link from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask made a cameo, but a closer look shows that it is actually Bentley Bear from Crystal Castles.

The horse in the movie, compared to Maximus. Note that it has no mane, has a different tail, doesn't have his saddle and reins, has a different shaped head and neck and is ridden by a generic knight.

The image that started the rumor of Moogle being in Wreck-It Ralph.

Bentley Bear, who many viewers thought was Deku Link from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
