* MythologyGag: There are minor references to the character's parent works scattered through the story, mostly in dialogue.
** When she introduces and re-introduces herself, Amy Rose uses the same words she did in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' when rescuing Sonic from Prison Island ("Have no fear! Amy Rose is here!").
** The title of the Hidden Palace's arc first chapter (Y'ello!) is a rapid-fire joke from Bill Cipher's debut in the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Dreamscaperers". Plus, just like in his first minutes of screentime there, he calls Coraline a ventriloquist dummy.
*** Twice in the story, he uses variations of one of his many iconic quotes from the same episode: "It's funny how dumb you are!".
*** Near the end of "Torn Rose", Bill Cipher uses his VerbalTic of repeatedly saying "well". He also references "Sock Opera"; specifically, the screaming head he briefly summoned in the episode.
** Relatively mild (especially because of the contrasting characters being talked to), but at the beginning of "Torn Rose", Coraline punctuates to Amy Rose that she wants to "go back home, with her mom and dad", invoking the dialogue she had with the Beldam right before she turned into her second form in ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}''.
