  • The style of the main menu is evocative of the Batman: Arkham Series menus.

  • Butters/Professor Chaos had a secret lair at the U-Store-It in the main series and in Stick Of Truth. And it's still there now.
  • The Coon's ultimate attack shows ads and an interview for his R-rated film, "Coon", likely a parody of recent R-rated superhero films, like Deadpool and Logan.
  • As confirmed by one of the animators, Toolshed's giant drill Limit Break, Full Bore, is a reference to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
    • One of Toolshed's Ultimate Ready lines is "We advance a little further with each turn - that's how a drill works!"
    • They weren't even trying to be subtle, one of Toolshed's skills is outright called "Spiral Power."
    • At one point Super Craig even says to Wonder Tweek Super Craig believes in you, so believe in him.
    • One person made a whole compilation of these references, here they are.
  • The animation for the Elementalist's Ice Prison is based on "Let It Go."
  • There's a section where you and Seaman help a certain gay fish get his mother to heaven via a flying unicorn, a reference to West's iPhone game "Only One."
  • Some of Wonder Tweek's battle quotes are "I am Wonder Tweek, Champion of Justice!" and "I will right wrongs and triumph over evil - and that means you!" He also has an attack called "Supreme Lightning", and when he uses it, he shouts:
    Wonder Tweek: Supreme Thunder!
  • One of the outfits you get (specifically from the quest that gets Super Craig and Wonder Tweek to go to counseling) is a reference to Static / Static Shock. The hat looks like what Vergil wears in the former, the jacket looks like what he wears in the latter.
  • Certain parts of the battle theme against the Raisins Girls sound oddly similar to the opening theme of The Powerpuff Girls.
  • Captain Diabetes is one to Captain Novolin and The Incredible Hulk with doses of Captain America as well, as he occasionally calls his allies "soldiers", salutes Toolshed and returns Wonder Tweek's saluting him. It helps that his character alignment is "Lawful".
  • On one of the Coon and Friends billboard, there's an image of a bro-fist. This is toward PewDiePie who is a fan of the series and even guest-starred in one episode.
  • Super Craig's Shining Hate Finger is a reference to the Shining Finger from Mobile Fighter G Gundam.

  • One of the unlockable Ubishop costumes is Ezio's outfit from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and one of the Artifacts you can craft is the Hidden Blade.
  • During the fight with the Stick of Truth version of the kids, Thief Craig duplicates himself by announcing "Bunshin no Jutsu!"
  • During the Doctor Timothy boss fights, The Coon accuses the Doctor of raping his mind.
  • During the boss fight with Mecha Minion Chaos Supreme, the Mexican Chaos minion forming one of the arms sighs "Es un trabajo..." This roughly translates to "It's a living..."

    The Coon: You were hurt, yes. But the intruder had made a critical mistake: He pissed you off.
  • Right before riding the tram through Dr. Mephesto's lab, the doctor himself asks the kids if they've played Half-Life, referencing the expository tram ride at the start of that game.
  • The Coon pop-up that appears whenever you make a new friend on Coonstagram is in the same pose as Raccoon Mario on the Super Mario Bros. 3 cover.
  • According to one of his battle quotes, some of Mosquito's mosquitos are named Vlad, Edward, Sookie, and Buffy.
  • The Water Level in the DLC Sidequest "From Dusk Till Casa Bonita" (when you jump off the cliff and dive into the waterfall) is a parody of the Super Mario Bros. original 8-Bit Water Levels.
  • The monsters that attack Lake Tardicaca in the DLC Sidequest "Bring the Crunch" are actually drug-addicted criminals hired by Nathan and Mimsy to try and shut down the summer camp, basically portraying the monster cosplayers as Expys of Scooby-Doo villains.
  • Every time the New Kid dies, it appears onscreen "You're Dead" written in blood. Clear reference to the first games of Resident Evil.
  • The Martial Artist ability Dragon Force Punch resembles a Falcon Punch, with a flaming dragon's head in place of the flaming falcon.

  • When combat starts in "From Dusk to Casa Bonita", Henrietta will occasionally compare herself to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
