* ''Pinball/FooFighters2023'':
** The bottom of the playfield accompanies the ball save light with the phrase "you'll stick around," referencing the band's song "I'll Stick Around."
** The alien hitchhiker on the Pro version's backglass replicates [[https://zombieyeti.bigcartel.com/product/foo-fighters-2021-albuquerque-gigposter a poster]] for a 2021 performance the band did in Albuquerque (illustrated by Jeremy "Zombie Yeti" Packer, who later did the game's artwork). [[spoiler:Within the game itself, the actual poster appears upon clearing the WizardMode, now contextualized as an in-universe photoshoot with a reformed Overlord.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ''Pinball/JamesBond007Stern'' is rife with references to the ''Film/JamesBond'' films.
** The cornerstone game is primarily based on Creator/SeanConnery's ''James Bond'' movies and alludes to them frequently, though it also references other instalments in the series that otherwise aren't represented.
*** The area around the shooter lane is decorated with several coloured dots in abstract patterns, much like the opening sequence for ''Film/DrNo''.
*** Blofeld appears twice on the playfield as the main villain of both ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' and ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'', but the latter insert light gives his name as "aka Mr. Henderson." This references the fact that Creator/CharlesGray played Dikko Henderson in ''You Only Live Twice'' before assuming the role of Blofeld in ''Diamonds are Forever''.
*** The drop targets in front of the ''Bird One'' are marked with the logo of Osato Chemicals, which helped built the rocket in [[Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice the film it came from.]]
*** The henchman and villain ramps are both decorated with the SPECTRE logo used in 2015's ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' (instead of the less abstract versions seen in Connery's films).
*** One of the {{Skill Shot}}s is named "Eyes Only," alluding to ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly''.
*** The final WizardMode, "Her Majesty's Secret Service," is one word off from ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' (a film which starred George Lazenby as Bond).
** In the 60th Anniversary game, the leftmost shot has artwork referencing two Roger Moore films:
*** The underwater Lotus from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' [[https://sternpinball.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/JamesBond-60th-Details-Strobe-23-kajnfed.jpg is visible on the playfield]] (near the start of the loop).
*** The area [[https://sternpinball.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/JamesBond-60th-Details-Strobe-24-tfnjaef.jpg features a plastic decoration]] depicting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaqXxC0rhSw the rotating car jump]] from ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun''.

* ''Pinball/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou2023'': If the ball hits anything that's not lit, it will play a random sound effect from Creator/HannaBarbera's library (used in [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou the original show]], among many other series).

Added DiffLines:

* ''Pinball/{{Transformers}}'': Making a SkillShot prompts the display to recreate the IdiosyncraticWipe [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3DoNzZIKbk used in]] ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' cartoon (complete with jingle).
