* Commander Hood and his entire organization are [[{{Expy}} expies]] of [[Franchise/GIJoe Commander Cobra and... COBRA]].

to:

* Commander Hood and his entire organization are [[{{Expy}} expies]] {{Captain Ersatz}}es of [[Franchise/GIJoe Commander Cobra and... COBRA]].COBRA]].
* Likewise, the Botchangers are Franchise/{{Transformers}}. The Botformer doll even uses a knockoff of the famous transformation sound effect when Marty transforms.
* One recurring character is [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles a yellow-jumpsuited reporter named May.]]
* The Wizard is heavily inspired by ''Film/TheWizard'' - he wields a [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem Power Glove]] like Lucas, and eventually quotes the infamous "It's so bad" line. In addition, once you first use your magic binder, he quotes a Nintendo slogan from the era by declaring "Now you're playing with power!"
* The glove is a massive reference to Music/MichaelJackson; using it causes Marty to moonwalk to the enemy, then hit them while shouting like Michael.
* Marty's school has two transfer students that are essentially Franchise/CareBears with the proportions of actual bears. In addition, a pseudo-Care Bear plush is an item; it lets Marty perform a CareBearStare.
* In the bathrooms at the school, there are posters featuring [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodsy_Owl Woodsy Owl]], with a peculiar variant of his slogan:
--> "Give a hoot - flush your [[UnusualEuphemism toots!]]"
* Using the Floppy Disk to finish off an enemy prompts their sprite to turn into a [=BSOD=], with a fanfare that deliberately resembles one from 90's versions of UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows.
* Benjamin and Nimajneb, the bosses of episode 2, have fighting stances clearly based off of [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu/Ken]]. Compounding this, losing to them changes the usual text to "You were K.O.ed".
* Episode 3 starts off with a knockoff of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGruff_the_Crime_Dog McGruff the Crime Dog]] named [[Creator/ShiaLaBeouf LaBeouf]]. His slogan is "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Say_No Just say no]]nonononono to drugs!", referencing the actor's tendency to drop [[RapidFireNo Rapid-Fire Nos.]]
* A man in a trash can in episode 3 declares [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI "It's a secret to everybody!"]]
