1 | Like ''VideoGame/GModTower'', ''Tower Unite'' is [[ReferenceOverdosed loaded to the brim with references to other media.]] |

6 | * 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". |
7 | ** 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]] |
8 | * The Stripe Hat and Iridescent Hat are clear references to ''Literature/TheCatInTheHat'' and ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture''. |
9 | * The fedora's description is [[Franchise/IndianaJones "Don't forget to]] [[IndyHatRoll grab it before the door closes."]] |
10 | * The Shark tube's description is [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo "Fish are friends. Not Food."]], and the Racecar tube's description is [[WesternAnimation/Cars1 "I am speed"]]. |
11 | * The Old Candelabra item's description ends with [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast "Note: Does not talk."]] |
12 | * Virtually any Mushroom based item's description will reference ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' in some form. |
13 | * The Barrel item's description says it's "Slightly worn from being [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong thrown a lot."]] |
14 | * 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". |
15 | * The Cardboard Box item's description says it's [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid "A snake's favorite hiding spot."]] |
16 | * The [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight throwable blood wine]] item, complete with the description "What is a catsack? [[SelfDeprecation A miserable little pile of secrets!]]" |
17 | * The description for the Falling Money particle effect (A Casino milestone) reads "Make it rain [[Series/HarryEnfieldAndChums lods e mone.]]" |
18 | * A milestone for the Typing Derby is a Throwable Keyboard, with its description reading: "Sometimes you just gotta rage it out". This can easily bring to mind [[WebVideo/AngryGermanKid a certain individual known for doing exactly that with his keyboard]]. |
19 | * 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. |
20 | * 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. |
21 | * 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. |
22 | * 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/EarthBound1994 the father of a certain boy with PSI powers.]] |
23 | * 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]]. |
24 | * The Tower Glove, a quality of life item introduced in version 0.15.0, is very much based on Nintendo's Power Glove. |
25 | * Two in the Chalkboard furniture item: the description reads [[WesternAnimation/ChalkZone "Rudy's got the chalk."]], while text on the actual chalkboard reads [[Film/ThePhantomMenace "You can spin me, that's a neat trick!"]]. |
26 | * The Typing Derby takes excerpts from a lot of existing media that are randomly chosen every time a new game is started on them. Some notable ones are listed below (some of which are believed to be new to the game as of version 0.17.3.0 in 2023): |
27 | ** The first half of Music/ShiaLaBeoufLive. |

34 | ** One of the weapons you can pick up in the mode (and use outside of it as a milestone weapon) is the [[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} Egon Cannon]] which fires a giant laser beam that locks onto targets and is said to be "a device used to trap and exterminate ghosts." |
35 | ** The Milestone badges from 400k onward are named after various zombie / horror protagonists: [[VideoGame/DeadRising Frank]], [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Jill]], [[Series/TheWalkingDead2010 Daryl]], [[Franchise/EvilDead Ash]] and [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Ripley]]. |
