Attachment The Killer Penguin in the Extinct Animals expansion is a reference to a glitch in the first Zoo Tycoon where Emperor Penguins would kill any herbivorous animal that had been placed in their exhibit. They may also be a reference to the Penguins from the DreamWorks movie Madagascar, as their Zoopedia entry states them to be from Madagascar.

The full make and model of the 10mm pistols in Fallout and Fallout 2 is "Colt 6520 10mm pistol".
Starting with Fallout 3 and moving forward into New Vegas, the 10mm pistol is referred to as the "N99 10mm pistol".

They both fulfill the role of being a relatively common pistol for the wasteland, with a simple, easy to produce and replicate design. This is however, effectively a retcon to prevent legal issues with Colt.

Attachment In the Japanese manual for Sonic CD, Amy Rose is referred to as "Rosie the Rascal".
In the U.S. Manual, her name is listed as Princess Sally.

There are theories that her name was changed to Princess Sally in the U.S. manual of Sonic CD to tie the game to the Archie Comics, or the Saturday morning cartoon.

Attachment While Dogoo are an obvious reference to Slimes from Dragon Quest and the Giant Dogoo are an obvious reference to King Slimes, Red Dogoo have a slightly more interesting possible inspiration.

The Red Slimes, as they were known in Dragon Quest when the series was still being localized as Dragon Warrior, were made orange in Dragon Warrior VI, then renamed She-Slimes in Dragon Quest VIII alongside the franchise's localized name being changed.

This is most likely why Red Dogoo are pink and drop Orange Dogoo Jelly.

The irradiated workers in Area 52 originally used the gnome model, but used the goblin voice. As of patch 2.3.0, they use the goblin body. It is speculated that they used the gnome model because goblins couldn't wear helmets at the time of implementation. Lead Sapper Blastfizzle still uses a gnome model, however.

Kamek would later be added as a playable character in Wave 5 of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass.

Michael's prequel Novella suggests that he has met Angel and Legna, the playable dragons from Drakengard and Drakengrad 2. In the story, Michael dreams of his past companions, describing a red dragon who constantly watched his back and a black dragon who avoided conversing with him. Michael also exclaims that Red was about two thousand years older than him. The Red Dragon's official age in the first Drakengard is 10,000 year. This would make Michael 8,000 years old, despite his 12,000 year claim in the DLC.

This can be evidenced by thier similar hair color, glasses, and the fact that they both hide in garbage cans when frightened. It's also important to note that both Loid and Jeff can use bottle rockets as weapons during battle.

In the Artorias of the Abyss DLC, there is an NPC named "Marvelous Chester" in The Royal Woods. Like the chosen undead, Chester was pulled from his time period by Manus. Chester vaguely describes his era as Gothic/Victorian, his clothing also appears to be attire from the 19th century.

The character may have been included as a small hint as to what was coming up in Bloodborne.

When looking back at the player's bed, there's a rare possibility that they will see one of three items that will disappear when the player looks away. These are a pot of flowers, a bottle of pills or an IV Drip. These are items most likely found beside a hospital bed.

Spoiler:It's revealed at the end of the game that the protagonist is shoved into the mouth of an animatronic which bites down. It's theorized that this is the "Bite of 87" mentioned in the first game and that the game takes place in the mind of the victim who is in a coma due to the injury. However, other clues lead people to believe that the game actually takes place in 1983, so it cannot be the infamous event of '87. It's possible that this event is actually a second bite incident that has not been mentioned in any previous games.
