** Throughout the game, the "Plain" text-box border from [=EarthBound=] is used for all text.

** One of the dojos Brad can get a karate scroll from requires him to complete a WaitingPuzzle in which the player must leave Brad idle for several minutes, much like a puzzle from [=EarthBound=] in which the required "password" to get into the next area is three minutes of doing nothing. It is also quite similar to Poo's Mu training, which requires him to do nothing and to not reply to anything happening around him.

* During the Wrestling side plot, there is an entire extended pastiche of the infamous “IT’S ME, AUSTIN” moment from WWE when Vince [=McMahon=] revealed himself to be Undertaker’s Higher Power. It even includes the infamous “NOT EVEN MY OWN FAMILY” line.

* When one of the guys chasing Buddy, Big Pancake Norton, dies at your partys hands he cries out “[[{{Music/LimpBizkit}} I did it all for the nookie...]]”

* Mr. Beautiful's cracked mask during the second phase of the fight with him somewhat resembles Uboa from {{VideoGame/Yume Nikki}}.
* When defeated, the bartender enemy will say, "I am the liquor!" in reference to Jim Lahey from TrailerParkBoys. Should you approach Vega van Dam while wearing the Joy mask (which is ordinarily impossible), he'll refer to Rando as "Rando-Bobando", similar to Lahey's nickname for Randy.

* In the Factory Town, there's a pair of [[SuperMarioBros Mario Bros]] lookalikes sitting at a table with a (male) stripper. Appropriately, the Mario lookalike admits to [[SaveThePrincess a past of chasing women,]] and the Luigi lookalike says [[ButtMonkey he hates his life, and that everyone hates him.]] [[spoiler:Also appropriately, should they be killed by the Road Scholars if you fail to defeat the latter, the Luigi lookalike will have a plunger attached to his head.]]
