There are plenty shout-outs mentioned in the series, whether if its for other video games or other shows.
- Sonic calls Mario A.C. Slater, explaining that he was played by Mario Lopez.
- Tails quotes Passenger57 in "It's On":"Well, let me give you a word of advice: always bet on Tails."

- Gilius Thunderhead calls the monster Billy Crystal, who is Mike's voice actor.
- Sonic says that "he got turned into a werewolf one time" when Sparkster tells Sonic about how different sequels have been ruining him. It seems to be more of a Take That!, actually.
