History ShoutOut / CopyKitty

* The Vampire's Castle level is a throwback to ''{{Franchise/Castlevania}}'', complete with a clock tower, and it starts you with a whip.

* One world is set in a modern city, which features fire hydrants. If you attack them enough, they'll disengage, start tumbling and bouncing around and causing heavy damage to enemies, not unlike [[VideoGame/PacMan Pac-Man's]] fire hydrant from ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

* The Infinity Tasbeht's respawn indicator is the video loading indicator from ''Website/{{Youtube}}''. They even hate buffering, according to their in-game encyclopedia entry.

** [[spoiler:One of her BondOneLiners is [[WebComic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff "It keeps happening!"]].]]

* Right off the bat, the introduction reveals that FLUX is stored in an {{UsefulNotes/SNES}} cartridge, and Boki is running it on the respective machine (the PAL version of it, to be exact).

** The achievement for using Summon Dragon (Force+Explode+Tornado) for the first time is called [[{{LetsPlay/Raocow}} Destroy the World]].
** The achievement for killing 5 enemies with Whip while the Flame Talisman is active is called [[{{Franchise/Castlevania}} Heart of Fire]].

* Savant's initial appearance, with the slight distortion and the square around him looks like [[VideoGame/{{SuperPaperMario}} Dimentio's way of teleporting.]] In addition, he [[BadassInANiceSuit dresses]] [[UnmovingPlaid similarly]] to Count Bleck.

* On a similar note, the Devil's Machine shares its name with [[VideoGame/{{EarthBound}} a certain piece of machinery used to power up a certain nightmarish final boss.....]]

* Time Stop is more or less [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders The World]], with similar graphical effects, lasting precisely four seconds, and Boki even does Dio's memetic pose when she activates it.

* The "Yolomo of the Sun Fist" enemy can do a [[Franchise/StreetFighter hadouken, flaming uppercut, and rapid flaming kicks]].

* The Cybers are an empire of extradimensional beings who convert individuals into mechanical monstrosities. [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Sound familiar?]]

* Prior to v2.1, the first level is very similar to Break the Targets in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''

* An older version of the game had a level called Kitera Prime, in which Savant's intro states "[[VideoGame/SuperMetroid The last Cyber is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace.]]" The entire level was structured like a miniature ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' world, with statues holding copy-able powers, minor backtracking, and a piece of terrain shaped like Samus's ship with a respawning full health powerup. The level is restored in Version 2.12.

* World 12 takes place upon a [[BattleshipRaid Fyskir that Boki has to dismantle from within]], which may bring to mind [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Battleship Halberd]]. Meanwhile, the escape sequence after you destroy the last reactor is taken straight from the beginning of ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'', tilting screen and all.

* The level pack that contains the cut levels from the game is called [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels Lost Levels]].

* The Infinity Tasbeht's respawn indicator is the video loading indicator from ''Website/{{Youtube}}''. They even hate buffering.

* This game has a dedicated kick button, just like ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}''.

* The Giga Dengrahx looks like the [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Technodrome]] (even LetsPlay/{{Raocow}} refers to it as such) and its killing blow is just a recolored [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Master Spark]].

* Fetch by itself doesn't reference much, but worn with the Winter Chill outfit has [[VideoGame/Undertale the sweater become blue, with Boki's hair and foot crystals turning bone-white.]]

* The Rabbit Hoagall likes [[Magazine/{{Playboy}} questionable magazines]]. Keep in mind that said magazine's logo is a rabbit.

* Time Stop is more or less [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders The World]], with similar graphical effects, lasting precisely ten seconds, and Boki even does Dio's memetic pose when she activates it.

* Time Stop has the same visual effects of [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders The World]], and Boki even does Dio's memetic pose when she activates it.

* One of the unlockable modifiers gives Boki a customizable [[MegaManXCommandMission holographic scarf.]]

* One of Arikan's (and to an extension, Boki's) moves is an invincible dash that leaves a trail of after-image slashes behind, just like [[Franchise/DevilMayCry Vergil]].

* Time Stop has the same visual effects of [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure The World]], and Boki even does Dio's memetic pose when she activates it.
