[[AC:General]]
* Several Newgrounds terms are used in the game's UI:
** The currency is "Grounds Gold".[[note]]A way of measuring a user's rank, before a major redesign in 2007 changed it to "Experience Points".[[/note]]
** Succeeding or failing in battle causes the results screen to declare that you "passed judgement"/were "blammed", respectively.[[note]]When flashes are initially submitted to Newgrounds, they're put "under judgement" by users as a form of quality control; getting above a certain score lets them "pass judgement" into the Portal proper, while failing gets them deleted or "blammed".[[/note]]
** The screen before a stage denotes its flavor text with "Author's Comments".
* [[http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/83543 The game's main theme]] is a hard rock version of [[http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1683 "Endless Handbag"]] -- essentially Newgrounds' theme song, which played on its home page [[https://web.archive.org/web/20011218010243/http://www.newgrounds.com/ in its earlier incarnations.]]
[[AC:Characters and Stages]]
* Fancy Pants Man uses a pencil as his weapon; in ''World 2'' of his home series, he used one as a golf club. (In later games, he begins using it as a weapon, complete with many of his combos from ''Rumble''.)
* The school stage has a poster reading "Apples and Bananas" - a reference to the beginning of ''Pico's School'', where Pico's teacher has a lesson on the two.
* Tankman's "Gun" power-up move is riding a tank in the style of Newgrounds' logo.
* Both Pico and Nene's penultimate single player levels reenact ''Pico vs. Convict'' (the latter showing a different take on it).
* Samurai Asshole's MightyGlacier status may come from the fact that his original game was rather slow and prone to lag (even by 1999 standards).
[[AC:Power-ups]]
* The [[http://newgrounds.wikia.com/wiki/Experience_Level Level 57 icon]] serves as the game's InvincibilityPowerUp.
* The "Rage" power-up is [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/427710 Agnry Faic]] (an angry emoticon from Newgrounds' forums that took on a life of its own when it got two games of its own).
[[AC:Story/Endings]]
* Pico's ending reveals that [[spoiler:he eventually dies of an unexpected fierce outbreak of herpes, "to which Nene claims no affiliation" - a reference to her initial appearance in ''Pico's School'', where she visibly sports herpes sores around her mouth.]]
* Nene's ending [[spoiler:(specifically, Convict impersonating her post-mortem)]] could also be a reference to ''Pico vs. Convict'' [[spoiler:(which ends with Pico being forced to SpotTheImposter and accidentally shooting the real Nene)]].
* Tankman's ending references the then-impending massive redesign of Newgrounds (in-story, he demands the "nation" be redesigned), as well as an infamously terrible [[AprilFoolsDay April Fools' joke]] related to it (long story short, they pretended to release the new design... but the only difference was the logo).
