The accessory Immortal Marionette bears a striking resemblance to the Marionette enemies from the original Devil May Cry. Hideki Kamiya was the director for both Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, so the resemblance is probably intentional.

Attachment There are two characters named Enzo appearing in Bayonetta and Devil May Cry. Both characters support Bayonetta and Dante as an informant. There is proof that both Enzos are the same person.

In the Bayonetta art book, there is a picture of Enzo playing poker with someone while Bayonetta and Rodan are in the background. Enzo's opponent is shown to have lost a sword, two handguns, and a red coat. These are all trademarks relating to Dante. This not only shows that the Enzo that helped Dante was the same Enzo that helped Bayonetta, but successfully connects the Bayonetta series to the Devil May Cry series.

Attachment Bayonetta's Bracelet of Time shares attributes with Devil May Cry's Bangle of Time and Viewtiful Joe's V Watch. All three items look similar and freeze time. Additionally, the description for Bracelet of Time and Bangle of time reference Dante's parents as the creators, so they might be the same item. Hideki Kamiya was also the director of all three games so this similarity may be intentional

Attachment An NPC on the isle where you find the Sea Hare's Tail claims, "This here island's really a turtle shell!" If you ride flammie above the isle, there is a visible shadow of a head and fins. This turtle may actually be Booskaboo from Seiken Densetsu 3 whom the party travels on before the acquisition of Flammie. Figuring that Seiken Densetsu 3 is a prequel to Secret of Mana, this may hold true.

Subtle references and similarities to Kentaro Miura's manga "Berserk" can be found hidden in the game. The earliest example that can be discovered is the blacksmith Rickert, the name of a character in Berserk who was also a blacksmith.

Beatrice the Witch, who can be summoned twice as a Phantom for boss fights, bears a striking resemblance to the Berserk character Schierke.

The main character of Berserk, Guts, can also be seen referenced in a few different ways. A much more subtle reference is Black Iron Tarkus, a character summoned as a Phantom and seen later as a corpse in Anor Londo. His black armor and greatsword are said to be absurdly heavy and only able to be donned by him due to his incredible strength. Guts, while his armor is somewhat differently designed, is known for wielding weapons of absurd weight, and was also known for wearing black armor. What's more, the design of the Dark Souls Greatsword resembles the design of one of Guts' earliest swords.

The second reference is contained within the Dark Souls DLC in the form of Artorias, the Abysswalker. Some similarities include the design of Artorias' armor and Guts' Berserker Armor, their swords' abilities to damage demons and ghosts, their symbolism and references to wolves, their mangled left arms and their losses of sanity (though for varying reasons). In addition to that, many of Artorias' poses both for the DLC promotions and for in-game cutscenes greatly resemble official artwork of Guts from Berserk.

Komaytos greatly resemble Metroids. Pit acknowledges this during a conversation with Viridi in the Chaos Vortex, though Viridi states that the two are unrelated. Komatoys function similarly to Metroids as they attach themselves to Pit's head and leech health from him. Also, the idol description reads "The last Komaytos is not in captivity, Skyworld is not at peace." This is a reference to the opening of Super Metroid.

Attachment In the cut-scene where Cloud fights Sephiroth (Destiny Odyssey VII), several shots are recreated from previous titles.
• The scene where Cloud and Sephiroth cross swords is similar to the scene from Crisis Core in which Sephiroth and Cloud battle in the Nibbleheim Reactor.
• After being knocked back, Cloud descends towards Sephiroth who then knocks Cloud back into the air. This is similar to Sephiroth's first appearance in Advent Children.
• After Cloud lands, the camera pans across Sephiroth's Masamune up to his face, similar to another scene from Advent Children.
• At the end of the scene where Cloud and Sephiroth face off, their poses are similar to their final battle from Final Fantasy VII.

Speculation has risen among fans that Serges is actually the mind of Dr. Wily transferred into a Reploid body. Some dialogue from the Japanese version has him talk about Dr. Light, X's creator, and his appearance and his tendency to rely on machines for transport and attacking resembles Dr. Wily in many ways. Keiji Inafune has never confirmed or denied the fact, and has seemed reluctant to do so, suggesting the theory could be true.

Attachment Throughout the game you may see a symbol that looks like a crescent moon and a star. This symbol can be found on blocks, floor switches, and even the mirror shield. This symbol has caused some controversy, as the moon and star resembles an Islamic symbol. In all re-releases of the game, it has be changed to a new symbol.

Attachment There is evidence suggesting that Pikachu in this game is actually Pichu from Super Smash Bros. Melee, albeit evolved:

•Pikachu in Brawl uses Pichu's wall jump ability from Melee.
•Pikachu's Final Smash in Brawl is Volt Tackle, which, in the Pokemon games, can only be inherited by an egg-born Pichu.
•Pikachu's blue costume in Brawl uses the goggles worn by Pichu's blue costume in Melee.

In the game, Travis' mentor is Thunder Ryu, a former professional wrestler turned Yakuza. Thunder Ryu shares a name with one of the many wrestlers in the game Fire Pro Wrestling, specifically Typhoon Dragon Thunder Ryu, who takes the place of real life wrestler Genichiro Tenryu, due to Fire Pro not having the rights to any actual wrestling federations. It's thought to be either a reference to the Fire Pro Wrestling, or the exact same character, due to the fact the developer, Goichi Suda, got his start in developing games with Super Fire Pro Wrestling 3 Final Bout, and Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special for the Famicom.

Attachment The Head Quarantine Officer instructing Samus through her training sequence during the beginning is voice acted in English by Nate Bihldorf. Nate localized Metroid Zero Mission and contributed on Metroid Prime 2 & 3. In an interview by ShineSparkers, Nate explains his experience, "I thought I sounded like a nerd - but that's what Mr. Sakamoto was looking for, so I guess I'd call it a resounding success." The Quarantine Officer has an uncanny visual resemblance to Dan Owsen who narrated the opening of Super Metroid: "The last Metroid is in captivity. The Galaxy is at Peace...".
