[[caption-width-right:180:Magical {{Beehive Hairdo}}s and an {{VideoGame/Earthbound}}-style adventure!]]

* ShoutOut: To both the ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'' trilogy and unrelated stuff:
** The very first lines in the fic are a spin on how Earthbound begins.
** The latter half of the first chapter is an entire homage to the beginning of Earthbound, with some of ''VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings'' thrown in:

* {{Tuckerization}}: Rokuna's great-grandfather Shigesato was named after Shigesato Itoi, the creator of the ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'' trilogy.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8895129/1/Starbound Starbound]], by Economy (formerly [=McKnight=], [=DMXrated=], and then [=SeaRover=]), was first published onto Fanfiction.net in 2012, inspired more than a year earlier from the author's nostalgia for ''{{VideoGame/Earthbound}}'' and wish to create something similar set in ''Manga/LuckyStar''.

* RapunzelHair: The most important thing that the Magé Stones look for in a potential host.

*** [[https://charahub.com/user/McKnight While he has also yet to appear]], [[spoiler: Ivo's full name is a reference to both [[WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM Dr. Ivo Robotnik]] and [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Dr. Weil]].

** Mondo's name is an ironic example. While he ''was'' [[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] as the "rad" member of the group, the name, which also means "extreme" and became a "radical" loanword in English, had nothing to do with that, and just so does happen to line up, although it originally did encompass this trope more intentionally.[[note]]Along with Rokuna's, it was meant to refer to the word "rokumon", meaning "six gates," referring to "Rokumon Sekai," the world they went to visit each episode.[[/note]]

** [[https://charahub.com/user/McKnight While she has yet to appear]], [[spoiler: Robin's full name is after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p01eWGlcEc the song that plays]] when you fight Li'l Miss Marshmallow or an Unwelcome Gust in {{Mother 3}}.]]

** Ichirobei consumes a cup of pork noodles that Rokuna made, a food item from {{Mother 3}}.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Mondo, originating from Mon Colle Knights as simply laidback, is flanderized to be "[[TotallyRadical cool]]", in direct contrast to Miyuki upon first meeting her and appearing himself. His habit of hitting up on girls is also gone, even though he does brag to two different parties about having spent a night with a whole bunch of girls at Rokuna's house.

*** Rokuna cosplays as [[UruseiYatsura Lum]] during Birthday of Destiny.

* FurBikini: Rokuna, cosplaying as [[UruseiYatsura Lum]] in ''Birthday of Destiny''.

* SurpriseParty: Held in ''Birthday of Destiny''. [[GenreSavvy Rokuna anticipates it]] ''long'' before her friends can pull it off.
