A clip of their arrival has gone viral and become the inspiration for many of its video game renditions.

Pixel environment artist Zaebucca posted a piece of art on Twitter that reimagines the battle between Willy Wonka and The Unkown in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

In it, Willy Wonka was meant to suck up The Unknown with a hoover, which the actors weren’t provided with at the time and were instructed to improvise
