The main menu theme sounds strikingly similar to the first part of the opening segment of the Super Nintendo RPG Terranigma, which was published by Nintendo in Europe. The composer for Melee may have taken inspiration from it.

It is likely that Manhunt is set within the same universe as the Grand Theft Auto series, which are both published by Rockstar. There are multiple references to stores and locations in both games, and the setting for Manhunt, Carcer City, is directly referenced in multiple Grand Theft Auto games.

It's possible to use an empty bottle to reflect Phantom Ganon and Ganondorf's magic blasts back at them, similar to how the Bug-Catching Net can be used to reflect Agahnim's magic in A Link to the Past. Both items are used in their respective games to catch things, which are then stored in a bottle. Also like the net, there are some advantages to using the bottle: it has a slightly wider swipe and a more consistent motion than the sword.

During the Nintendo Direct on October 1st 2013, Iwata mentioned that fans saw a physical resemblance between the shop keeper Ravio, and Nabbit from New Super Mario Bros U. Iwata explained that although they are not the same character, since the Mario and Zelda games are developed on the same floor at the Nintendo of Japan Headquarters, the developers may have inspired one another unknowingly.

Attachment The Seventh Level, "Riddle Me This...", is based off of Episode 40 of Batman: The Animated Series, "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?"

• Both include the Riddler as the main antagonist.
• Batman and Robin have to run through a maze designed by the Riddler.
• The title cards are visually similar.
• The same Minotaur that is fought in the cartoon is a boss in the game.
• The riddle featured in the cartoon is the same riddle featured in the game.

The second Extinction map, "Nightfall", has an easter egg very similar to the "LOL" easter egg on the first Extinction map, "Point of Contact".

Four of the transformers on the utility poles will spark in a random order, and shooting them in that order will cause the word "ZAP!!!" to appear on the screen. After doing so, every enemy killed within four to five minutes will explode parts of snowmen.

Attachment Mighty the Armadillo's sprite sheet is nearly identical to Sonic's sprite sheet from Sonic Crackers, a Genesis prototype game from which Knuckles Chaotix drew its elastic ring mechanic.

This has led fans to speculate that Sonic was originally intended to be in the game instead of Mighty, but was changed late in development. This, as well as the theory that Tails was also meant to be included, is backed up by other assets in the game, including Amy Rose being hidden in a sound test and Sonic and Tails appearing in the ending screen when the game is completed with all 7 Chaos Rings.

Attachment The game's box art is reused concept artwork from the game Bass Hunter 64 for the Nintendo 64. The original artwork can be found during Bass Hunter 64's intro as a splash screen, however it features the Bass' mouth closed whilst the cover artwork of Big Bass Fishing has its mouth open.

Both games were published by Take-Two Interactive, though Bass Hunter 64 was developed by GearHead Entertainment and Big Bass Fishing was developed by Coresoft.

Attachment The gems on Sableye's body may be a reference to Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, as the common colors for rubies and sapphires are red and blue. Sableye's shiny sprite also has green and yellow gems. Green is the common color of emeralds, making this possible reference also line up with Pokemon Emerald.
