* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestHeroesRocketSlime'' contains shout-outs to other Square Enix-published series, such as a Platypunk ally named Ducktor Cid (a reference to the recurring character name in ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'') and the hero goes up against a tank with a treant-like appearance called Chrono Twigger (an obvious reference to ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger''), whose in-game logo even resembles the ''Chrono Trigger'' logo. These two are notable because the series referenced were formerly Square series, whereas ''Dragon Quest'' was an Enix series.
