Attachment The "miniature Sonic" sprite is based on the illustrated version of Sonic seen in the Sonic X episode "How to Catch a Hedgehog", during the sequences where Chuck Thorndyke is explaining how he intends to catch Sonic. Even the running motion is the same as featured in the episode.

Attachment The inclusion of Hugh Neutron in the game as DLC, particularly instead of his son and series main protagonist Jimmy Neutron, was a response to an ironic internet campaign to get the character in the game known as "Hugh Nation", led by Hugh voice actor Mark DeCarlo and YouTubers The Superverse and Uncle Al, following Hugh trending on Twitter due to memes related to the game's reveal. When Hugh performs his strafe taunt in the game, he can say the voice lines "Hello internet!", "Thank you internet!" and "Hugh Nation!", referencing this push. The showcase for Hugh's moveset, which was aired at EVO 2022, mentions Hugh being included as a "thank you" to the devoted Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl community.

Attachment In the Iki Island expansion, there is a special God of War-themed armor set that can be obtained at the Shrine of Ash. At the shrine, there is a scroll containing a poem hinting at how to do so. Spoiler:The player must equip the Sakai Clan armor and perform the action for unsheathing their sword in front of the shrine to obtain it.

There is also an ash tree with a golden hand print planted near the shrine, a direct reference to the intro for God of War.

Laying along the base of the statue are piles of chains, these are a reference to the chains that hang from the hilts of one of Kratos signature weapons, The Blades of Chaos.

Attachment While most of the memes featured in Meme Run are well-known mainstream memes that were already quite storied by the time of the game's release, one meme included in the game is much more obscure. "Bigley" is a mosquito-like parody of Ridley from the Metroid series meant to mock fierce fandom debates over whether the latter character was "too big" to feasibly include in the Super Smash Bros. franchise. This character was hugely popular within the Miiverse community, and was often considered a mascot for the community during its heyday. However, Meme Run and its sequel Bigley's Revenge were the only footprint Bigley managed to impart outside of the Miiverse community, with the meme being so obscure that its article was rejected from Know Your Meme.

Attachment At one point in the game's development, SpongeBob's strong dash attack was intended to involve him running with scissors. This was vetoed by Nickelodeon, with community manager Thaddeus Crews suggesting that Nickelodeon may not have wanted a character many children view as a role model partaking in an easily-imitable dangerous activity. The scissors exist in the game files, attached to SpongeBob's model, but in an untextured form with no bones for snipping.

In the final game, SpongeBob's strong dash attack was a slip and fall based on a single frame from the episode "Krabs à la Mode" that became a meme.

Hitman
Hitman (2016)
▲

▼
In the Bonus Mission "The Icon", there are two civilians talking by the entrance about how they want Icon to be replaced by someone else, namely Dave Bateson, instead of Dino Bosco (the target of the mission). This is in reference to the development of Hitman: Absolution and the subsequent fan backlash the casting change caused, where 47, normally voiced by David Bateson, was going to be replaced by William Mapother; the voice actor for Dino Bosco in "The Icon".

This initial casting change was at the request of Square Enix, and IO Interactive had recorded some lines in secret with Bateson to show Square Enix, and once they heard them, they relented and Bateson was brought back to play 47 in Hitman: Absolution at the very last minute.

In the German version of Gothic, during Chapter 2 of the story you can find members of the German rock band In Extremo playing live in the old camp, performing an acoustic version of their interpretation of the Swedish folk song "Herr Mannelig" (Mister Mannelig). They are in the files for other versions of the base game and in the files for Gothic II's Night of the Raven expansion, but are never used outside of modding due to copyright issues. This cameo was intended to be cross-promotion for the band.

If you land while performing Luigi's forward aerial in such a way that his hand hits the ground, a special animation plays where Luigi shakes his hand with a pained expression on his face as if he hurt his hand and is trying to get the pain out of it. This animation can be interrupted by the player causing it, making it hard to notice.

Attachment In the game’s "Freak Show" level, the player enters the "Museum of the Slightly Curious", which features odd antiques like "Salty Jack" (a reference to the mascot for the snack food Cracker Jack) and the "Horse With No Mane" (a pun referencing the 1971 song "A Horse with No Name" by folk rock band America). One of these antiques on display right below a health power-up is a caveman "Frozen in Time!".

The cartoonish, one-eyed Caveman is actually the titular enemy character from the 1991 Midway arcade game Trog. The inclusion was a reference to CarnEvil's Director and Lead Designer Jack E. Haeger also serving as the artist for Trog.

• 10: Xenoblade Chronicles
• 15: Xenoblade Chronicles X
• 17: Xenoblade Chronicles 2
• 22: Xenoblade Chronicles 3

There's also a red needle that's almost evenly between 98 and 02, which could be referencing Monolith Soft's founding on October 1st, 1999.
