Shout Out / Evoland 2

• Like the previous game, there are a decent few references to The Legend of Zelda
  • One of the chests you can examine in Fina's house contains "a beautiful green adventurer costume"... to which Kuro declines wearing due to how ridiculous he'd look in it
  • After offering to round up chickens for Genova's chicken farmer, she refuses on the grounds of a previous time where a kid wearing green used the chickens to fly through the air instead of bringing them back, referencing the ability to use Cucco's for gliding in some of the games.
  • The Loyalty Badge you get from Mr. Mudlow and its description "The kind of item that is completely USELESS" references the Complimentary Cards Beedle gives you in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, where all they get you is him complimenting you.
• The whole game is highly inspired by Chrono Trigger, in that time travel is a key mechanic done at first through specific portals, then later through a flying device.
• Pirate Island is a side-scrolling beat 'em up like Double Dragon.
• Fights in the Labratory act like Chrono Trigger .
• Fighting the Prophet is done in the style of Street Fighter.
• Fights in Demonia are strategy-based like Fire Emblem.
• Defeating the Grand Magus is a rhythm game like DanceDanceRevolution.
• In the future library, and one puzzle in the starting village, the hero solves the puzzles just like Professor Layton.
• The Wiking competition is a Match-3 game like Bejeweled, although with skills, closer to Puzzle Quest.
• The mines are laid out like Bomberman (including only having access to bombs during that stage).
• The prison escape is a stealth exercise similar to Metal Gear. You even get to hide in a cardboard box!
• The first half of the Great Troll fight is based on Donkey Kong, having you jump over the boulders the Great Troll throws and climb ladders.
• Cherry and Plum are Captain Ersatzs to Scanty and Kneesocks from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.
  • The first encounter with Cherry is a constant runner over rooftops, ending in a Mega Man boss battle room.
• A monitor in the Laboratory displays a blue hedgehog running across plains. A crashed Eggpod is in close vicinity to that monitor.
• The characters comment on a computer in the lab that was used to play "WoW".
• Velvet before entering a portal says, "Beam me up, Scotty!"
• The only two named pirates on Pirate Island in the present are Biggs and Wedge. Whether that's a shout-out to Star Wars or Final Fantasy is up to you.
• Halfway through Reno's fight, he goes Super Saiyan and summons shadow clones to attack.
• There are five legendary heroes waiting in line in the Sylph Forest: Sora, Bomber Man, Link, Ryu and Mario.
• Flying on the flying machine is a bullet-hell game.
• The card game is called A Game of Cards.
• While escaping through the sewers, there's a single question block that can be hit for a coin.
• In the Sylph Clearing, you meet a fairy that you can name. Her default name is Nawi.
• Some of the names you can call yourself in the tournament are parodies of famous heroes, including "Super Morio". The demon will call you that for the rest of the game.
• The second round of monsters fought in the coliseum is the Ninja Squirrels, four squirrels trained in ninja arts that wear masks colored blue, red, orange, and purple
• Several characters make mention of the dreaded Pirate Roberts.
