History ShoutOut / ChromaSquad

* The description of the cardboard box notes that it's mainly used for mecha parts or [[Franchise/MetalGear to infiltrate military facilities]].

* Robot Tiger is a walking ''Film/{{Robocop}}'' reference and opens his second battle with [[CatchPhrase "your move, creep."]] in the English version. Also a reference to [[Franchise/StreetFighter Sagat's]] Tiger Uppercut being commonly misheard as "Tiger Robocop".

* During the tutorial, when the stuntmen express dissatisfaction and offer advice to Dr. Mi Ah, he retorts: "[[Music/BackstreetBoys I never wanna hear you say 'I want it that way'!]]"

* Most of the bosses are some kind of reference or {{expy}}. For example, Ironing Man is a living clothes iron, [[ComicBook/IronMan painted red and gold that can fly and shoot using hand propulsors]].

* One scene has Techie trying to flirt with [[spoiler: Tammy]] by using some of the exact same dialogue as [[Film/ScottPilgrimVSTheWorld Scott's first meet with Ramona]], complete with the bit about ''VideoGame/PacMan'' originally being called ''Puck-Man''. The help drive the point home, the scene ends with the narrator saying "Sometimes it feels like it's [Techie] against the world..."

** Additionally, [[spoiler: Her StanceSystem allows her to take on a Dragon Stance and a Tiger Stance, evoking Tommy's two most iconic power sets the Green and White ranger powers.]]

* One of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters]] is quite literally just [[https://youtu.be/FiARsQSlzDc Colin's Bear]], a slightly obscure memetic animation reeking of StylisticSuck due to its creator's irritation over his animation class teaching him basically nothing. The credits even give a SpecialThanks to Colin Sanders, himself.

* Many craftable pieces of gear for your stuntmen reference different Franchise/SuperSentai and Franchise/PowerRangers teams, such as the [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger Dekapistol and D-Magnum]], and [[Series/PowerRangersSuperMegaforce Super Mega]] [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Pirate]] helmet.

* The final boss can use a wide variety of weapons. One of them, a gun that opens portals to summon additional reinforcements, looks just like [[{{VideoGame/Portal}} a Portal Gun]] with the SerialNumbersFiledOff.

** At the same convention, the support and scout talk about getting [[Anime/AttackOnTitan "Mikaka and Eden"]] action figures

* Another potential SixthRanger is a multi-part reference, [[spoiler: almost entirely being based off of tokusatsu veteran Kenji Ohba and his career. His real name is Kanji Ahbo, and his civilian clothes are a WholeCostumeReference to his [[Series/SpaceSheriffGavan]] brown leather jacket and white pants. His Night Driver costume looks like a [[Series/KamenRider]] suit at first glance, especially with the motorcycle called "Cyclone." However the costume also features the black, beige and green color scheme of Battle Kenya from [[Series/BattleFeverJ]], along with two thick white stripes like Denji Blue from [[Series/DenshiSentaiDenjiman]]. Both were played by Ohba. Finally Night Driver is likely a reference to [[Series/KnightRider]], but also perhaps a joke about seniors driving.]]
* The boss Colin's Bear does the exact same motions as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiARsQSlzDc his animation of origin.]]

* Dr. Mi Ah, the heroes' boss at the start of the game, is a caricature of Haim Saban, founder of Creator/SabanBrands (the owners of the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' franchise in America). He is depicted as [[TakeThat overbearing, bossy, and unpleasant to work with]] (although [[RealitySubtext the legal issues the developers had with Saban]] went over more amicably). He has since been renamed "Dr. Soap".

* One of the craftable sets of mecha legs references ''VideoGame/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' (even name-dropping "EVA"). Its power, "Wonderwall", is a possible reference to the eponymous mechas' [[DeflectorShield AT Fields]]. [[note]] Or possibly an Oasis song. [[/note]]

* If you beat the game and keep clicking after the credits, the narrator will get annoyed and ask "Do you think this is VideoGame/TheStanleyParable or something?"
** And also recommends the player to look into KnightsOfPenAndPaper (another game made by the same studio).

* With his flashy wardrobe and overtly flamboyant demeanor, there's no denying that Lord Gaga is basically a [[SpearCounterpart gender-bent]] [[spoiler:, and [[EvilCounterpart villainous]],]] NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Music/LadyGaga.

* One stage takes place at an anime convention, the entrance to which has statues of Anime/MazingerZ and ''Series/JAKQDengekitai'''s Big One, as well as the SuperSentai logo on a banner in the convention center.
