* OneHitKill: In ''Slaughterday Night Live's'' Dino Battle mode, the raptors that make up Team Dino are only able to land melee attacks by lunging, but to compensate, they usually can inflict this on a human. This can make it easy for them to rack up points if the human team doesn't coordinate well.

* AlienGeometries[=/=]BiggerOnTheInside: The condos are both impossibly big to fit side-by-side within the tower but are shown to be many stories high up on the tower. Yet, they have a full patio and ''beach'' out the back ''and'' if you look around, you'll notice the condo is on it's own secluded island. The addition of the House and Smooth Dirt condo types in the 0.1.6.0 update takes this even further.

* ShoutOut: Various items in the game do this, some even falling under LawyerFriendlyCameo due to their designs. Examples are:
** An unlockable cosmetic item for the player is a [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS3E6SnowballEffectOneKrabsTrash white and blue soda drink hat with a red #1 etched on it.]] Additionally, the diving helmet's description is [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"]]. The pineapple tube's description takes this a bit further by saying "It floats, so you won't see it under the sea anytime soon".
*** During Halloween, one of the gravestones in the plaza reads "Here lies [=MacDGuy=]'s hopes and dreams".[[note]][=MacDGuy=] is one of the developers of the game.[[/note]]
** The Stripe Hat and Iridescent Hat are clear references to ''Literature/TheCatInTheHat'' and ''Film/BackToTheFuture''.
** The fedora's description is [[Film/IndianaJones "Don't forget to]] [[IndyHatRoll grab it before the door closes."]]
** The Shark tube's description is [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo "Fish are friends. Not Food."]], and the Racecar tube's description is [[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} "I am speed"]].
** The Old Candelabra item's description ends with [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast "Note: Does not talk."]]
** Virtually any Mushroom based item's description will reference ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' in some form.
** The Barrel item's description says it's "Slightly worn from being [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong thrown a lot."]]
** The fairy pet, which consists of a bright ball with wings, has a description that reads [[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaOcarinaOfTime "Hey, listen!".]] The bottle item's description is also "Sadly, it does not contain a fairy in it".
** The Cardboard Box item's description says it's [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid "A snake's favorite hiding spot."]]
** The [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight throwable blood wine]] item, complete with the description "What is a catsack? [[SelfDeprecation A miserable little pile of secrets!]]"
** The description for the Falling Money particle effect (A Casino milestone) reads "Make it rain [[Series/HarryEnfieldAndChums lods e mone.]]"
** The Blender item's description reads "Blends just about anything, [[Advertising/WillItBlend but will it?"]]. The "Let's Blend!" logo on it even bears a strong resemblance to the videos its description references.
** The Hot Tub's description simply reads [="WooHoo!"=] It's spelled exactly like a certain mechanic in ''VideoGame/TheSims'' where Sims can [[DontComeAKnockin "get busy",]] including the very item the description is on.
** As of version 0.10.2.0, the Wowozela from the arcade is capable of emitting [[spoiler:A single note by [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames Morshu's]] [[CatchPhrase signature]] ''[[CatchPhrase "Mmmmmm!"]]'', and the sound used by the "Skull Trumpet" video]]. Makes it worth finally getting considering it costs 2.5 million tickets.
** A non-item example: Rob, the shopkeeper of ''Rob's Imports'', is the only shopkeeper [[TheVoice not physically present]] and is instead just reached via a phone. Sounds pretty similar to [[VideoGame/EarthBound the father of a certain boy with PSI powers.]]
** In the Arcade, there are three third-party plushies you can earn either via the Pluck-a-Pal crane game or from the prize counter, those being the [[WebAnimation/TheDementedCartoonMovie Zeeky H. Bomb and Kamikaze Watermelon]], as well as an [[https://www.albinoblacksheep.com/ Albino Blacksheep]].
** The Tower Glove, a quality of life item introduced in version 0.15.0, is very much based on Nintendo's Power Glove.
