* Of the many in-game paintings that can be placed, one called "Jacking Skeletron" resembles a scene from "WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas".

* The description of the Grappling Hook says "[[VideoGame/MortalKombat Get over here!]]"

* If you open the Crimson Chest in the Dungeon, you get Vampire Knives. They're a reference to two famous knife-throwing vampires: [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]] and [[VideoGame/TouhouProject Sakuya Izayoi]], who is herself a ''[=JoJo=]'' reference. The pattern of the thrown knives [[ShownTheirWork even matches the pattern in which Sakuya throws them]]!

* If you open the Crimson Chest in the Dungeon, you get Vampire Knives, a reference to knife-throwing, vampire-serving maid Sakuya of ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' (the knifes are even fired in a [[ShownTheirWork pattern that resembles Sakuya's danmaku pattern!]])
** Doubles as a reference to a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure certain other vampire]] infamous for throwing knives (the obvious reason being that Sakuya herself is a [=JoJo=] reference).

* The effect of the Ichor debuff (decreases defense), as well as one of the weapons made using Ichor ([[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Golden Shower]]) sounds a lot like [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 TF2]]'s Jarate.

* The Arkhalis, an Expert Mode-only sword, is the [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Valmanway]] in all but the name. Its tooltip, 'I didn't get this off of a Schmoo', pushes the shout out even farther by referencing VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Valmanway, named Crissaegrim in that installment of the series, is a very rare drop from the Schmoo enemy.[[/labelnote]]

** The Angler claims to have heard of the Dirt Fish from a [[Creator/SteveIrwin "funny-talking zombie"]] who said the fish could "suffocate ten blokes his size". Making this shout-out even darker is the fact that the Dirt Fish is similar to a Stingray, the species of fish that killed Irwin.

** [[Disney/{{Frozen}} "Do You Want to Slay a Snowman?"]] for completing the Frost Legion event.
