This series is well known for its many pop culture references found throughout the series. The list shows many examples found:

Chuggaaconroy

  • The author really seems to be a massive fan of Chuggaaconroy, given the fact that Luigi has a Misdreavus named Affection and Kali named a Skitty Chamomile.
    • This exchange:
    Pit: How'd you build a parking lot without hands?
    Pandora: Hard work and determination.
    Ruby, while snickering: You were probably banging your head on the ground and going HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION!
    • Jaune called a Pianta a murderer as he was thrown into the abyss.
    • It's heavily implied he lived in Animal Village and made it thrive as a result before leaving. Even ProtonJon and NintendoCapriSun gets some love. The last time they heard from him, he was in some yarn-like area.
    • His Sonic Colors LP got a reference.
    Sonic Colors Announcer: Good! Great! Awesome! Outstanding! AMAZING!!!
    Weiss: All I did was do a few simple flips...

  • Luigi says this after he gets spat out of the Time Hole for the first time.
  • Tenshi is Punched Mid-Sentence after her fight along with this quip from Yang.
    Tenshi: I'm a Celestial and I can easily- *gets pummeled by Mario, Tai, Kirby, Yang, Nora, and Dedede, and falls out of Heaven*
  • Nora proceeds to toss Akechi into a group of monsters by playing Get Help, a game that she and Ren played in their younger years.
    Nora: *holding Akechi over her shoulder* HELP! HEEEELP! Help, my friend Akechi is dying! He needs medical attention! HELP HIM! *throws Akechi into the group of monsters to knock them down*
    Akechi: Oooof!
    Nora: Hehehe, and that's all there is to it!
    Akechi: Ugh... *to Ren* I can see why you don't like this.
  • Damian, while getting heavily beaten up by Bowser and the others, attempts to try and tell everyone who he is. Bowser's response? Throw the bastard around like a ragdoll.
    Damian: ENOUGH! I am a Loss Leader, you dull creatures! A demon! And I will not be bullied by- (is suddenly tossed around like a ragdoll from the King of Awesome himself)
    Bowser: Puny demon.
  • Nora goes full-on Thor: Ragnarok on the Sockops for daring to kidnap her man. She even says this:

    Mario: We have a Nora.
  • After Fierce Deity!Weiss kicks Damian's ass, he tries to pull a Thanos on her, but it didn't work out so well.

    Fierce Deity!Weiss: Thank you for the idea. Dolt.
  • A hard battle was won, but Peach's Castle didn't survive the onslaught during the final battle with Heartless Bowser, the moment the dust settled... Qrow comes in with this line:
  • The last skit of Chapter 187 was filled to the brim with characters using vibranium to get the upper hand on their opponents.
  • Chapter 198 of Chibi has the cast spoofing every single Marvel films released up to that point with the author doing Stan Lee's cameos, finishing in a cameo from Deadpool in a reference to The Stinger of his first film.
  • Chapter 34 of Super RWBY Galaxy 2 is a massive shout-out Avengers: Endgame, with an army of heroes joining the main group via portals.
  • The starting scene of the 183rd chapter of Gaiden references that one scene in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse where Miles Morales failed a test on purpose in an attempt to get himself kicked out of a highly prestigious school where he initially felt like he didn't belong in.
    Run: (shows Laura's standardized test results, all of which are marked as zero)
    Laura: (in faux surprise) Oh, Oum… are these my standardized test results? Wow, I guess that means I'm kicked out of here since I failed all of them, huh?
    Run: (taps on his desk with his red marker while giving Laura a disapproving and unamused look)
    Laura: ... Maybe I'm not just right and good enough for this school anymo—
    Run: Ms. Winchester, if a person wearing a blindfold picked the answers on a true or false quiz at random, do you know what score they would get on average?
    Laura: ... At least fifty percent?
    Run: (nods while smiling) That's correct!
    Laura: Wh-what?! But, I—
    Run: The only way to know how to get all the answers wrong is to know which answers are right. (changes the test scores from zero to one hundred then looks at Laura with stern apprehension) You're trying to quit on yourself, Ms. Winchester. And I'm not going to let that happen.
    Laura: (rolls her eyes in annoyance and defeat)

    • Eggman has a Roulette Machine.
    • Tails brings the Blue Typhoon to the Observatory.
    • The Metarex gets a mention.
    • This conversation:
    Weiss: Wait wait wait, hold up... you mean to tell me... that you had the most powerful jewels IN your world... and you just let them FLY AWAY?!
    Sonic: At the speed of light too. I may break the sound barrier, but not the speed of light. Not my style.
    Weiss: (grabs Sonic by the shoulders) ARE YOU CRAZY?! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!
    Sonic: (nonchalantly shrugging) I guess we're just gonna have to find them again!
    • The Sonic Power Cannon is used.
    • The X-Tornado is shown off at Bigmouth Galaxy.

Five Nights at Freddy's

  • When interacting with an animatronic in Super Nintendo World in Super RWBY Chibi Chapter 134, this line is dropped.

  • During Chapter 10 of SPBRR: Fusion, when the Nightmare Boss gets mentioned, Blake is reminded of a game called Five Nights At Salem’s which Ozpin recommends they play. The description of the plot resembles that of Five Nights at Freddy's 4 in particular.
    • Hilariously the next Chibi Chapter (190), that came after this shows Umber playing said game.
  • During Chapter 22 of Super RWBY Galaxy 2, Sarge asked Grif and Simmons if they remembered Doc being knocked into space by Kraid. When he referred to him as “Purple Guy”, the duo thought he was referring to either William Afton or Micheal Afton.

    Dedede: I still regret nothing!
  • In RWBY: Isle of Armor, Zoey's Boss Subtitle was this: Gonna Clean Your Clock
