Of the many easter eggs and hints google has added over the years, Do a Barrel roll might just be one of the best ones. This is a direct reference to the Nintendo cult-classic Star Fox 64.
Released in 1997, you play as the brave pilot Fox McCloud taking on the evils of the galaxy. A common tagline that one of Fox’s friends Preppy shouts out during combat is “Do the Barrel roll”. Players could then heed his advice by pressing R or Z on their Nintendo 64 console to make Fox perform a barrel roll. Preppy’s advice is now part of internet meme history and the developers at Google honor it by adding it as an easter egg to the search engine.
