* Some of the gifts are references:
** The description of Doodle contains a reference to [[Series/TheJoyOfPainting Bob Ross's]] "there are no mistakes, just happy accidents" {{catchphrase}}.
** Several gifts are named after ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' planets.
** The gift Revita Heart is named for ''VideoGame/{{Revita}}''.
** In the memory of Big Mushroom, the narrator mentions that taking a bite of it makes her feel twice as tall. This is a reference to the mushrooms in ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' that make Mario grow twice as tall. While Big Mushroom's effect doesn't actually make you grow bigger (which would be a downside in a BulletHell game anyway), it does make your ''shots'' bigger. There's also a Poison Mushroom item, though it seems unrelated to the similarly-named ''Super Mario Bros.'' item, and isn't an example of the PoisonMushroom trope.

** "Love Is a Battlefield" is a reference to a song by American singer Pat Benatar.
** "Rainbow in the Dark" shares its name with a Music/{{Dio}} song.

Additionally, Calorie's "Give Me Fuel, Give Me Fire" is taken from the lyrics of "Fuel".
** The snow-themed Snowball's "Don't Let It Go" is a reference to "Let It Go" from ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013''.
** Chemory's "Down with the Sickness" is also a Music/{{Disturbed}} song.

** Lavalin's "This is The Art of Ruin" references the lyrics of Music/LambOfGod's "Ruin".
