* One of the first few lines Neptune has is, "Neptune does what you all don't," which is appropriate since Sega, which Neptune represents, used "[[SegaGenesis Genesis]] does what Nintendon't" as an advertising line back in the day. What's more, this was a purely American ad campaign; the translators were actively adding to the shout outs, even obscure ones that many kids today likely wouldn't know about.
* In the manga, [[Manga/AhMyGoddess apparently a goddess is also a freeloader.]]

* In another event, they see a group of movers moving boxes so that they can [[VideoGame/{{Tetris}} stack them so that they don't leave any gaps]].
* A small dungeon in the Dark God's Cave in Lastation was carved by [[WhatDidIDoToDeserveThisMyLord an evil lord with a pickaxe]].
* The first time Neptune and her friends prepare to go terraporting, she thinks she's supposed to make a long jump across to reach the other landmass, and IF dares her to put on [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros overalls and a red hat]].
* Neptune: "The expo's on like [[DonkeyKong monkey kong]]!"
* Neptune: "[[VideoGame/DragonQuestI Greedy Boy appears! Command?]]"
* In the skit "Amnesiac Buddies", Black Heart complains to Neptune that her followers think "[[Advertising/KevinButler [she] only does everything]]."

* Nep and company are introduced to the [[GameAndWatch Watch & Game]] in a skit.
* At Lastation, Nep and company encounter aspiring game creator [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Zach Unfair, whose favorite title is GG7]].
* The kid in the skit "Attack of the Cicada Horde" plays too much [[VideoGame/GearsOfWar Cogs of Battle]].
* '''IF''': I've never been trapped in a disc before either. We might have to sit tight until we're summoned back out.\\
'''Compa''': By Mr. Heretic? [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Do you think he'll ever throw the disc at someone and say "I choose you, Compiffytune?]]"
* Neptune: "[[Manga/SailorMoon Pretty and mysterious Neptune of love and justice. In the name of the Basilicom, I'll punish you!]]"
* One of the optional quests is titled "[[Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime The Goddess Who Leapt Through Time]]".

* Neptune: "[[{{Transformers}} Let's transform and roll out!]]"
* There is a bird-type enemy called the [[FinalFantasy Choocoboo]], but it's colored pink instead of yellow.
* The skit "Master Idol Production" is a huge reference to ''TheIdolmaster''.
* The skit "BrainAge Score" has Nep, Compa, and Iffy having mental ages of 40-60, according to the results.
* '''Noire''': Meh. Maybe someone's breeding them in a monster ranch or something.\\
'''Neptune''': Yeah, whatever. MonsterRancher isn't a job. That's so silly!
* In the Normal Ending, after defeating Arfoire's second form...
-->'''Neptune''': Drat. When she turned into the dragon, [[VideoGame/DragonQuestI I thought she was gonna offer me half the world or something.]]
!!References found in ''Neptunia [=mk2=]'':
* Horsebirds won't make any sense unless you've played ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' where they have renamed Chocobos into horsebirds. Compile Heart took it UpToEleven.
* ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' characters Kurisu Makise, Shiina Mayuri, and Itaru "Daru" Hashida make a cameo as part of 5pb's attacks.
* [[AtelierRorona Rorona]], [[AtelierTotori Totori, the Chims, Ceci, and Mimi]] show up for some of Gust's attacks.
* Nepgear's dream reenacts the entire sequence of the third episode of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' right down to two of the seiyuus (NipponIchi being Mami and Uni being Sayaka) and of course includes the [[spoiler: [[WhamEpisode head chomp.]]]]
** Would have also been an awesome ActorAllusion for the English dub too, because Nepgear's VA is [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]]. Alas, MissedMomentOfAwesome CastingGag since the event with the English voices used isn't dubbed during that scene.
* Two things from the opening. [[StarWars Besides the obvious narration]], pay attention to the tower of [=TVs=] during the opening. [[LordOfTheRings Remind you of something?]]
* Gamindustri's preferred social networking site is [[{{Twitter}} Chirper]].
* When gaining a level, Neptune may occasionally hum the victory tune from FinalFantasy.
* 5pb provides the voice for a [[{{Vocaloid}} synthesizer]], but becomes upset that people are making her sing and [[MikuMikuDance dance]] to rather strange things.
* [[MetalSlime Metal]] [[DragonQuest Dogoos]] are hidden in a single group of enemies in [=LAN=] Castle. They're worth about 4 times the Experience and twice the Credits as the rest of the fight, and their [[RareRandomDrop Metal Jelly]] sells for another 11111 Credits.
* Vert's Military Dress costume adjusts her color scheme in such a way that she looks like [[{{Vocaloid}} Luka]].
* Ram insists that Lowee's best games would easily be the [[{{Pokemon}} Pocketed Monstrosities]] franchise, with over [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters 1,510,376 monsters to catch and raise.]]
* Compa's [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} cake is never a lie.]]
* In one of the events, Neptune tells her sister that the duty of a goddess is to [[Manga/AhMyGoddess wait for the phone on their desk to ring, then visit the person calling and grant their wish]].
* The description for the rock icon quotes the famous "I got a rock" line from [[WesternAnimation/ItsTheGreatPumpkinCharlieBrown It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown]] verbatim.
