* It's not mentioned in-universe, but Flora and Mermaid pull off a [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Double Pretty Cure Kick]] against the Zetsuborg in Episode 9.
* In Episode 11, Cure Twinkle suggests that they need to defeat Dyspear for "a happy ending", which is coincidentally what [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Cure Happy]] fought for. Furthermore, Cure Happy's [[InTheNameOfTheMoon post-transformation speech]] mentions the phrase "Kira Kira," which translates to "twinkling." Twinkle's real name just so happens to be Kirara.
* Most of the names of the Dress-Up Keys are a reference to previous seasons in some way:
** Flora's [[SomethingAboutARose Rose]] Key references the rose theme of Anime/YesPrettyCure5GoGo, or it could be referencing that season's resident SixthRanger, Milky Rose. Furthermore, the special attack from said key (Rose Tourbillon) and later the Lily Key (Lys Tourbillon) mirrors Milky Rose's pose when she uses her special attack.
** The name of Flora's fourth key, Sakura, means "cherry blossom", which is a flower that most fans have associated with [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Cure Blossom]].
** Mermaid's [[KillItWithIce Ice]] Key references the primary element used by [[AnIcePerson Cures]] [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Beauty]] and [[Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure Diamond]].
** The name of Twinkle's [[{{Lunacy}} Luna]] Key translates to "moon"...as in [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Cure Moonlight]]. Likewise, Flora's Lily Key refers to the same person: Lily in Japanese is 'Yuri', and Cure Moonlight's identity is Yuri Tsukikage.

* [[spoiler: Taking away the Cures' transformation items to prevent them from getting in the way of the villains' plans?]] Has Lock been watching a lot of ''[[Anime/PrettyCureAllStars All Stars]]'' lately?
** It looks like Dysdark has been getting several ideas from ''All Stars'' because in Episode 47, Dyspear puts Haruka through a LotusEaterMachine not unlike the one used in ''New Stage 3''. Haruka, much like Cure Dream before her, gets out on her own, reasoning that while she would be content living with her dream accomplished, she'll accomplish her dream with her own strength.
* Kirara is offered a job to model in Paris. While this is definitely a first for her, it isn't a first for the series; the ''Heartcatch'' Cures did just that in their respective movie.

* Cure Whip rounds off [[RunningGag the yearly ritual]] of the pink Cure transforming for the first time, then [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength jumping impossibly high in the air]].
* Another Precure [[RunningGag tradition]] appears when Ichika first meets Pekorin, questioning whether Peko is a dog or a cat.
* The way Ichika meets Pekorin is similar to how [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Nagisa meets Mepple.]] Just replace room with kitchen.
* In a tiny bit of a ContinuityNod, Ranko Ichijo, a VictimOfTheWeek back in ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure'', is mentioned to have finally become an idol.
* [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Once again,]] the main Precure falls in love with a {{Bifauxnen}} Precure thinking they're a boy at first. Bonus points for Akira meaning "Daybreak", which could be a reference to Cure Sunshine.
* The Sweets Pact is the third TransformationTrinket in the franchise to be a Pact, and it's clearly modeled off of the [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Smile Pact]].
* [[spoiler:The villain disguising as a transfer student at the Cures' school?]] That was done before in ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure''.
* [[Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure The last blue-haired Cure]] was also the daughter of a wealthy business family, but she took it a lot better than Aoi.
* After Ichika defeats [[spoiler: Julio in episode 22, he is revealed to be a fairy named Pikario, making him the second fairy to be purified after [[Anime/HappinessChargePrecure Phantom]].]]
* Pekorin, in her human form, has hair (which is most noticeable [[spoiler: in her Cure form]]) that resembles another heroine from a magical girl show by Toei that aired in the same timeslot as ''Pretty Cure'': Poppu from ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi''.
!!''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure''
* Fuwa meets Hikaru the way mascots in this franchise often meet the lead Cures -- by [[CrashIntoHello literally dropping on her head]].
* At the end of the first ED, the Cures draw stars in the air that are reminiscent of the ones the [[Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode Kirakira Cures did in their second ED]].
** Also, one of the villains corrupts the Star Color Pen that is on the Leo Star Princess, who is a blue, lion-themed character. Elisio brainwashing Cure Gelato, anyone?
** Flare's words "I'm fired up!" in the ending is reminiscent of Cure Gelato.

* Just like [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Nagisa]], Hikaru does not hesitate to question the fact that she did an InTheNameOfTheMoon speech the first time after she transforms.
* The ColdOpen shot of Madoka aiming her arrow looks a lot like Reika in the ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'' OP.
* Sakurako says "[[Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure desu wa]]" after saying "janjan" together with Fleetfoot, similar to the way Kirarin says "kira" after saying "itadakimasu" with Ichika, Himari, and Aoi. In addition, Sakurako's physical appearance and personality are similar to that of [[Anime/OjamajoDoremi Reika Tamaki]], another character who acted as a rival to one of the protagonists in a Toei MagicalGirl series that aired in the same timeslot as ''Pretty Cure''.

* Two life-sized mascots that bear a striking resemblance to [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Mepple and Mipple]] appear briefly on television with the idol who Riko recognizes in Episode 38.
!!''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode''
* This isn't the first time a patissier has become a Cure. That honor goes to [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Kanade Minamino/Cure Rhythm]].
* Cure Whip rounds off [[RunningGag the yearly ritual]] of the pink Cure transforming for the first time, then [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength jumping impossibly high in the air]].
* Another Precure [[RunningGag tradition]] appears when Ichika first meets Pekorin, questioning whether Peko is a dog or a cat.
* The way Ichika meets Pekorin is similar to how [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Nagisa meets Mepple.]] Just replace room with kitchen.
* In a tiny bit of a ContinuityNod, Ranko Ichijo, a VictimOfTheWeek back in ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure'', is mentioned to have finally become an idol.
* [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Once again,]] the main Precure falls in love with a {{Bifauxnen}} Precure thinking they're a boy at first. Bonus points for Akira meaning "Daybreak", which could be a reference to Cure Sunshine.
* The Sweets Pact is the third TransformationTrinket in the franchise to be a Pact, and it's clearly modeled off of the [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Smile Pact]].
* [[spoiler:The villain disguising as a transfer student at the Cures' school?]] That was done before in ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure''.
* [[Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure The last blue-haired Cure]] was also the daughter of a wealthy business family, but she took it a lot better than Aoi.
* After Ichika defeats [[spoiler: Julio in episode 22, he is revealed to be a fairy named Pikario, making him the second fairy to be purified after [[Anime/HappinessChargePrecure Phantom]].]]
* Pekorin, in her human form, has hair (which is most noticeable [[spoiler: in her Cure form]]) that resembles another heroine from a magical girl show by Toei that aired in the same timeslot as ''Pretty Cure'': Poppu from ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi''.
!!''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure''
* Fuwa meets Hikaru the way mascots in this franchise often meet the lead Cures -- by [[CrashIntoHello literally dropping on her head]].
* At the end of the first ED, the Cures draw stars in the air that are reminiscent of the ones the [[Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode Kirakira Cures did in their second ED]].
** Also, one of the villains corrupts the Star Color Pen that is on the Leo Star Princess, who is a blue, lion-themed character. Elisio brainwashing Cure Gelato, anyone?
** Flare's words "I'm fired up!" in the ending is reminiscent of Cure Gelato.
** #33: The Twinkle Book gives the pegasus-shaped Fuwa a parfait.
** #38 has similar elements to Kirakira #26, down to the ending with heartwarming music.
* Madoka's CatchPhrase is "[[Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure goukigenyo]]".
* Just like [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Nagisa]], Hikaru does not hesitate to question the fact that she did an InTheNameOfTheMoon speech the first time after she transforms.
* The ColdOpen shot of Madoka aiming her arrow looks a lot like Reika in the ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'' OP.
* Sakurako says "[[Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure desu wa]]" after saying "janjan" together with Fleetfoot, similar to the way Kirarin says "kira" after saying "itadakimasu" with Ichika, Himari, and Aoi. In addition, Sakurako's physical appearance and personality are similar to that of [[Anime/OjamajoDoremi Reika Tamaki]], another character who acted as a rival to one of the protagonists in a Toei MagicalGirl series that aired in the same timeslot as ''Pretty Cure''.
!!''Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure''
* One of the OST tracks is titled "Kagayaku inochi", which is part of [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Shiny Luminous']] InTheNameOfTheMoon speech.
!!''Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure''
** In Episode 3, one of the shops Manatsu and her friends visit is the "[[Anime/DokiDokiPrecure DokiDoki]] [[Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure Happiness]] Fancy Shop."
** Episode 14 has the girls visiting a daycare. The 14th episode of ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'' had the same exact premise.
