Removed from the book shout out page, because these all appear to be about the film, which has its own separate shout out page:

    open/close all folders 

    Anime and Manga 
  • AKIRA: Cameo of Kaneda's Bike in the first test.

    Film 
  • Back To The Future:
    • Cameo of the Deloran in the first test. Its flying mode proves quite useful in a regular race.
    • The director's name is also dropped as part of the name of a time-resetting item.
  • Bill & Ted: Plot Point and reference in how to defeat the first test.
  • King Kong: Cameo of Kong in the first test, starting off as the iconic building climb, then racing with the players, and ending as an obstacle near the end of it.
  • Jurassic Park: Cameo of Rexy in the first test, as an behind-the-racer obstacle, referencing the infamous chase scene.

    Video Games 
  • The idea of a game developer holding a contest themed around solving a series of puzzles to find an Easter Egg in his games is cited in-universe as being inspired by Swordquest.
  • Adventure: Plot Point in that the third test is literally finding the first Easter Egg in Video Game History
