* [[spoiler:Ophelia talking about Lydia and Sunlight's future daughter getting romantically involved with Mysta's future son eventually leads to Sunlight yelling "[[Series/TheOffice NOOOOOOOO GOD! NO GOD PLEASE NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!]]"]]

** Later, Luigi is mentioned to be [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297128947/2555117407 carving phrases too disgusting to be repeated in polite company into Bling's flesh]]. This is a reference to ''Literature/TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo'', where Lisbeth Salander does the same thing to a man who raped her.

* After a CallBack to the roleplays' predecessor, Furry Fiasco, [[WallOfText goes on for way too long]], [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297127370/2814038057 Boar drops a reference]] to Wiki/ThisVeryWiki:

** [[spoiler:Arle mentions that her parents[[note]]Memori and Scorpio[[/note]] are planning on having a son named Sig or Schezo (the latter idea promoting Dream to bring up Schezo Wegey's attempt to kill Arle Nadja and take her power in ''Madou Monogatari II'', which in turn prompts Ivy to bring up Schezo's [[RunningGag penchant]] for [[ThatCameOutWrong making extremely poorly-worded comments]]).[[note]]Given that Arle is a KidFromTheFuture, the Memori and Scorpio at the time of the roleplay are somewhat taken by surprise.[[/note]]]]

* The pilot of the jet plane Viv hijacked is the very same Pilot from ''VideoGame/EnterTheGungeon''.

* [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/455081367/4919055792 Torch uses]] [[VideoGame/SonicGenerations Silver's Meteor Crush/Smash move]] on Blake, using [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros a Smash Ball]] to power herself up for the move ([[CallBack much like]] characters would occasionally use Smash Balls in ''Furry Fiasco''). Torch even refers to Meteor Crush as being Silver's LimitBreak, referring to it being treated as his Final Smash in WebVideo/WhatIfXWasInSmash.

** [[spoiler:Arle mentions that her parents[[note]]Memori and Scorpio[[/note]] are planning on having a son named Sig or Schezo (the latter idea promoting Dream to bring up Schezo Wegey's attempt to kill Arle Nadja and take her power in ''Matou Monogatari II'').[[note]]Given that Arle is a KidFromTheFuture, the Memori and Scorpio at the time of the roleplay are somewhat taken by surprise.[[/note]]]]

* [[spoiler:Matthew, Mickey, Sky, Ivy end up re-enacting [[Manga/HaruhiChan the "You made Mikuru cry!" scene]] almost verbatim, the only real change being that Sky is crying over being called out on [[LovableCoward his cowardice]] rather than in response to being flirted at with ridiculous outfits.]]

* This roleplay marks the first appearance of Luigifan's aforementioned singing. In order, he sings [[Music/{{Seal}} "Kiss from a Rose"]], [[Music/AlyAndAJ "Rush"]], [[Music/{{Styx}} "Renegade"]], [[Music/DavidBowie "Let's Dance"]], [[Music/{{Nightwish}} "Amaranth"]], and [[Music/{{Hoobastank}} "Without a Fight"]]. And that's just ''Luigifan'' singing...

* After Boar angrily refutes [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297127370/2931749065 Artemis's accusation]] of [[IncestIsRelative incestuous desires towards Tori]], [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297127370/2931780652 Mighty declares]] "[[MemeticMutation But incest is wincest!]]" Luigifan, utterly shocked, accuses Mighty of visiting Website/FourChan, and Mighty doesn't deny it. Luigifan's reply is "[[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Be afraid. Be very afraid.]]"

* The battle with the Color-Hating Koopas is Cassandra's first real chance to show off her newfound power of mimicry. She mimics [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Demyx]] to battle Arachise, and apparently Arachise didn't take down her water clones fast enough...

* Knuckles is [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/431481284/3397181494 apparently still using]] the same {{kiai}} from ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''. Complete with [[Memes/SonicTheHedgehog memetic]] {{Mondegreen}}.

** In the Astarte Branch's [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/586779249/4227732466 Damien Route]], after Lysander [[DoNotTauntCthulhu pisses Damien off]] enough to get him to bust loose from his trap by [[ToThePain graphically threatening]] to [[BoundAndGagged bind]], [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty rape]], [[StuffedIntoTheFridge and murder Dream]] (while Damien will be ForcedToWatch), Dream tells Lysander, "[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} You really are an idiot]]" right before [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Damien pounces on him]] and [[UnstoppableRage begins]] [[CurbStompBattle beating the everloving]] ''[[ExtremeMeleeRevenge hell]]'' [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown out of him]]. [[note]]Lysander makes the threats in both routes, but it only pays off in this fashion in the Damien Route. In the other… well…[[/note]]

-->[[spoiler:'''Dream:''' [after describing Lysander [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty capturing Valerie]] in graphic detail] [[SexSlave What do you]] ''[[SexSlave think]]'' [[SexSlave Lysander did with Valerie]] [[DamselInDistress once he had her helpless in his clutches,]] [[HypnotizeThePrincess with her brain stuffed full of serum]] [[BreedingSlave to make her his slave on every level?]]\\

* Once Luigifan tells Dream [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman just how attractive]] [[CrushFilter Damien considers her to be]], she is extremely giddy... a little ''too'' giddy...

--> '''BILL:''' "[[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Diagnosis... Puberty]]".

** [[spoiler:Artemis later points out that she doesn't follow normal laws of matter to the Maid and comments [[WebAnimation/LlamasWithHats "I don't understand how you keep forgetting that"]].]]

* [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/586779249/4201227129 After having a close call]], Miriam repeatedly tells Sean "I'm glad... I'm glad you're okay, Sean...", just like Yonaka does to Shinya in one of ''VideoGame/MogekoCastle''[='=]s flashback sequences.

** In the Astarte Branch's [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/586779249/4227732466 Damien Route]], after Lysander [[DoNotTauntCthulhu pisses Damien off]] enough to get him to bust loose from his trap by [[ToThePain graphically threatening]] to [[BoundAndGagged bind]], [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty rape]], [[StuffedIntoTheFridge and murder Dream]] (while Damien will be ForcedToWatch), Dream tells Lysander, "[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} You really are an idiot]]" right before [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Damien pounces on him]] and [[UnstoppableRage begins]] [[CurbStompBattle beating the everloving]] ''[[ExtremeMeleeRevenge hell]]'' [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown out of him]]. [[note]]Lysander makes the threats in both routes, but it only pays off in this fashion in the Damien Route. In the other... well...[[/note]]
** In the Astarte Branch's [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/586779249/4227736461 Artemis Route]], Artemis announces her arrival at Lysander's lair by tampering with the power, causing the lights to go off. Author!Luigifan notes that all we need is [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys the Toreador March]] to complete the picture of how utterly ''screwed'' Lysander is. Once Artemis actually attacks, [[NothingIsScarier the scene cuts out]] [[OminousVisualGlitch in classic]] [[ScreamDiscretionShot horror game]] [[GoryDiscretionShot fashion]]. Dark Matt then proceeds to pull a variant of [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Flowey's]] [[SignatureMove signature]] [[AlwaysAccurateAttack ring of bullets]] on Natascha, only being stopped by Artemis requesting that she be on the scene when Natascha is finished off.

* [[spoiler:While berating Viv for trying to kill her, Miriam points out how "[[Theater/TheBookOfMormon you and Ne]] — [[IncrediblyLamePun but mostly Ne]]" were ultimately responsible for defeating Flumpty Bumpty back in "Flight Formation".]]

* [[spoiler:When Alex pulls out a tennis racket to use as an AttackReflector against Icing, Dream naturally questions the efficacy of this plan. Alex says that a catcher's mitt would be too unwieldy, prompting Dream to say "[[LetsPlay/TheDarkId ...My inquiry remains.]]".

* Knuckles is [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/431481284/3397181494 apparently still using]] the same {{kiai}} from ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''. Complete with [[Memes/SonicTheHedgehog memetic]] mondegreen.

-->'''Sonic:''' ...We ''might'' actually be screwed.

* Part of Tails's freakout after being zapped awake by Margaret is taken from "The Horror", a webcomic from the now-defunct Moogle Cavern which can currently be found on Website/DeviantART. Specifically, [[http://thehorrorcomic.deviantart.com/art/TH-64-Oh-Hell-no-63252631 this strip.]] [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/431481284/3397860041 Compare to Tails's line]]:

* Flora finally comes up with a cute pet name for Phillip... [[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget Commando Gadget]]. Luigifan ''immediately'' [[LampshadeHanging lampshades it]]. (And by "lampshades it", we mean "collapses to the floor in helpless laughter while singing the ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' theme song".)

* Blake [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/416122897/3412726261 attempts to use]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Knights of the Round]]... [[EpicFail key word being "attempts".]]

* The Maid remarks about how "no one remembers the names of trampled flowers", which is an English translation of a less famous line from the opening of Manga/AttackOnTitan.

* The entire RescueArc was intended as an {{homage}} to ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDissonance'', and it shows early on. (Later, not so much... until Justin and Snake-Jaw fight each other, that is.)

-->'''Mysta:''' [[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja You will die now! Ha! Ha-]] *[[FeedItWithFire Tora powers up]]* [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Ha...]]

** When answering Sunlight's question about Mr. Snow being an ally, Lydia says "The answer is yes... and no", pretty much just like Mephiles responding to Shadow's question about being the cause of the BadFuture seen in ''Sonic '06''.

* [[spoiler:While reassuring Annie and Mickey that he won't kill himself or Torch by using his Guzzlord to save Princess Torch, Matthew declares that "All I need to do now is [[VideoGame/MarvelPuzzleQuest see the math of it]] and execute my plan... and then Blake's attempt on Torch's life is toast!"]]

* [[spoiler:Bill Stuffner's new "fair contest" strategy is explicitly compared to the Nerdlucks "giving [the Looney Tunes] a chance to defend themselves" in ''Film/SpaceJam'', to the point where it becomes a RunningGag that [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure only Luigifan, Bill, and Matt get the reference in-universe]] [[LampshadedTheObscureReference and Luigifan is frustrated by this]].]]

* [[spoiler:Alex's magic hat (which holds an assortment of weapons and gadgets) is compared to WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat's magic bag of tricks. Another round of PopCulturalOsmosisFailure ensues, in which Luigifan admits that all he really knows about Felix is [[WebOriginal/{{Vinesauce}} the infamous bootleg game over screen]].]]

* Knuckles is [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/431481284/3397181494 apparently still using]] the same {{kiai}} from ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''. Complete with [[Memes/SonicTheHedgehog memetic]] {{Mondegreen}}.

** Rashay tells Cassandra that "Sooner or later, [[KneelBeforeZod you're gonna bow down]]", much as he does to Mario before assuming [[OneWingedAngel his semi-perfect form]].

* [[spoiler:Annisia notes that even in the time period that she, Ophelia, and Arle come from, thinking of the Dastardly Pack ''[[TraumaButton still]]'' gives Annie [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner the jibblies]].
* [[spoiler:Bill Stuffner's new "fair contest" strategy is explicitly compared to the Nerdlucks "giving [the Looney Tunes] a chance to defend themselves" in ''Film/SpaceJam'', to the point where it becomes a RunningGag that [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure only Luigifan, Bill, and Matt get the reference in-universe]] [[LampshadedTheObscureReference and Luigifan is frustrated by this.]]]]

** Luther is named after Creator/DonKnotts' character in ''Film/TheGhostAndMrChicken'' (''not'' Comicbook/LexLuthor, as many people seem to assume).

** Most of the Dawns are named after ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' characters. (The main exceptions are Lindsay (who was named after one of Tropers/{{Luigifan}}'s childhood friends), roughly half of Linus's children (who are named after Luigifan's cousins), Carnation (who follows the Natchrallis' floral ThemeNaming), and Harry (who was named after Franchise/HarryPotter).)

** Margaret's name is taken from ''Film/TheFivePeopleYouMeetInHeaven''.

** Torch and Matthew's eventual daughter Elodie was named after the main character of ''VisualNovel/LongLiveTheQueen'', while Lydia and Sunlight's son Lucius was named after the ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingSword'' character.

** Memori and Scorpio's daughter, Arle Kane, is named after the main character of the ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' series.
* The nicknames of Luigifan's Pokémon also tend to be Shout Outs ([[PungeonMaster at least, when they're not]] bad {{pun}}s).

** His Kyurem is nicknamed [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Frostmourn]][[note]]character-name limits wouldn't let him add the "e" on the end[[/note]].

** His Greninja is named Rikimaru, after the ''Franchise/{{Tenchu}}'' character.

* pommyman providing exposition as [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Valkenhyne]], just as he does in Rachel's Gag Ending in Continuum Shift.

** [[spoiler:Vaati also demonstrates the power to [[TakenForGranite turn opponents to stone]] [[strike:(and even into '''hats''')]], exactly like he does in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap''.]]

** Luigifan compares the whole thing to the "Mario Goes Berserk" WebOriginal/{{Dorkly}} bit.

* Matt claims that there was a ''one billionth percent chance'' that Moge-ko could have given him a heart attack, and therefore, [[Manga/{{Durarara}} whatever he does next is justified self defense]].

* [[spoiler:Bill Stuffner's new "fair contest" strategy is explicitly compared to the Nerdlucks giving the Looney Tunes a chance to defend themselves in ''Film/SpaceJam'', to the point where it becomes a RunningGag that [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure only Luigifan, Bill, and Matt get the reference in-universe]] [[LampshadedTheObscureReference and Luigifan is frustrated by this.]]]]

* [[spoiler:Alex's magic hat is compared to WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat's magic bag. Another round of PopCulturalOsmosisFailure ensues, in which Luigifan admits that all he really knows about Felix is [[LetsPlay/{{Vinesauce}} the infamous bootleg game over screen]].]]

* [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/577188445/4231066169 Annie complains about Matt's]] "[[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 chronic and sustained cruelty]]" as he [[MookHorrorShow slaughters several Koopa Troopas]] (one of whom begs "[[WebOriginal/TheWithVoicesProject Please take that thing out of my ass!]]" right before his ass explodes).

* [[spoiler:While berating Viv for trying to kill her, Miriam points out how "[[Theater/TheBookOfMormon you and Ne]] - [[IncrediblyLamePun but mostly Ne]]" were ultimately responsible for defeating Flumpty Bumpty back in "Flight Formation".]]

** Randall's name is lifted from ''Literature/TheDarkTower''.

* Torch and Matthew's eventual daughter Elodie was named after the main character of ''VisualNovel/LongLiveTheQueen'', while Lydia and Sunlight's son Lucius was named after the ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingSword'' character.
** Though it was unintentional on Author!Luigifan's part, Mordred's personality ended up being ''[[AxCrazy rather similar]]'' to Kevan, Earl of Io. Though in Mordred's case, it's less FreudianExcuse and more a mix of NoSocialSkills and DramaticallyMissingThePoint.
* Memori and Scorpio's daughter, Arle Kane, is named after the main character of the ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' series.

* Damien's "Black Breath" attack is an obvious reference to the [[ThatOneAttack infamous]] Bad Breath move from Final Fantasy as it's a party wide status inflicting move.
** It also just so happens to be Bulzeeb's title in ''Bomberman 64: The Second Attack.

* The entire discussion of [[{{Robosexual}} robot sex]] alludes to Webcomic/TwoEvilScientists. And then the conversation quickly segues into a discussion of [[http://lol20.deviantart.com/gallery/29754423/Fangtrex-saga the work of another DeviantART user]] (username [[http://lol20.deviantart.com lol20]]).
