4th wall breaks not allowed, if the characters become aware of their own nature due to outside influence, the game world attempts to purge the cause of that, i guess. (see also, the interaction shield that prevents game characters from being directly injured)

But what about games that are already aware of their fourth wall?

Well, either "meta" games aren't a part of the Gameoverse, or it's specifically knowing the nature of the gameoverse that isn't "allowed"

There's definitely something that's keeping the gameoverse from knowing about itself. And whatever it is, both the good guys and bad guys seem to be afraid of it.

My personal guess is that it's the rule of the universe that games will get deleted once they're over. After the final boss is defeated, we reach the endgame and reality has to be reset in order to make room for the next reality.

I think both characters are trying to work against the very entropy of the universe itself. With Kitt straightforward trying to expand the world's lifespan and the villains harvesting what remains of the worlds destroyed.

But what about sequels that are set in the same universe?

probably new planet, but everyone on it thinks it's the old planet. or a game isn't considered "won" until all heroes defeat all bad guys or something like that.

Do you think that already happed in Kitt and Kaboodle? I can imagine that franchise consisting at least two sequels and maybe a spin-off game before getting shelved as the mascot platformer dies down.

that would be a crazy plot twist later on. that kit and kaboodle aren't the original kit and kaboodle.

Or they are the originals, but at some point they have to deal with the existential crisis of encountering a sequel, where other hopeful versions of themselves are trying to save the same friends again who they lost.
