There is a show called "Area 53" on WCTR. One of the callers who goes by the name of 'Kevin' says that he can launch all the nuclear missiles in the world by just whistling into a phone. This is a reference to phone phreaker Kevin Mitnick, who was tried for computer hacking in the late 1990s. During the trial, the prosecutor claimed that Kevin was so dangerous that if given his one phone call in jail he could launch all the nuclear weapons in the United States. He was also sentenced to 18 months in prison, the same amount of time as the caller on the show.

Attachment Ryder owns a brown Picador with a license plate which reads SHERM, referring to his addiction to sherm, a cigarette with marijuana mixed into the tobacco that has been immersed in PCP. During the mission 'Home Invasion,' Ryder can be seen frantically searching for the drug in his back yard, where he had previously buried his drugs, but can no longer find them. Throughout the game, CJ also continually calls Ryder 'sherm-head.'

Attachment Near the end of the game, Spoiler:Roxas has to fight Xion, who wants to absorb him. During the 3rd phase of the battle, Xion transforms into a form that looks a lot like Kurt Zisa. This makes sense since Xion is using Sora's memories as a weapon and they are fighting in Agrabah, where Sora previously fought Kurt Zisa in the first Kingdom Hearts.

Similar to the missing posters of Ray and Mighty in the City Escape level, wanted posters can be seen of Fang, a recurring character in early Sonic games who debuted in the Game Gear game "Triple Trouble" Bean, and Bark, two characters from the Sonic The Fighters game. The 'Wanted' status could both a reference to them being criminals, and due to the fact that fans often request for these three characters to be put into a new game.

If the player presses A, B, A, C, A, B, B during the opening monologue about different types of codes, they can play the game with the gore effects from the original arcade release. The button combination, which spells out "ABACABB," was chosen as a play on words regarding the port's choice of platform, referencing the 1981 album Abacab by the English rock band Genesis.
