Claptrap's bounty item is his 2012 Character of the Year award from the Spike Video Game Awards. In the cutscene of him putting the bounty on the table for the tournament, GLaDOS says that it looks familiar. This is a reference to how Portal 2 was nominated for and won six awards at the 2011 Spike VGAs, with GLaDOS and Wheatley's voice actors, Ellen McLain and Stephen Merchant, also winning awards for Best Performance by a Human Female/Male respectively.

Every song in the game has unique patterns playing on the step panels which, like the on-screen video, are synced to the music. Some notable examples include:

• Max428: The current BPM is displayed.
• Robot World: Binary Code runs on the top and bottom of the pads, reading "Robots would tap stars!"
• Xuxa: a duck is shown floating across the playfield.
• Flight of the Bumblebee: bees are shown flying across the panels dodging a flyswatter.

On the Name Entry screen, when attempting to submit an inappropriate name (i.e. profanity, sexual content), it will instead be replaced with a different, more appropriate name. Humorously, this also applies when attempting to submit the names DDR (an abbreviation for rival series Dance Dance Revolution) or 573 (The "Konami Number", Konami being the company behind DDR), as they will be replaced with "SMX" (abbreviation for StepManiaX) and 123 respectively.

Attachment The Pokémon Baxcalibur features some similarities and references to the kaiju movie monster Godzilla:
• Baxcalibur has a back fin similar to both Godzilla's backplates, and to the Spanish theropod dinosaur Concavenator.
• Its Pokédex entry in Pokémon Violet, as well as its signature movie Glaive Rush, appear to be a reference to a scene from the 1971 film "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" in which Godzilla flings himself into the air using his nuclear breath, and uses his dorsal fins and weight to attack Hedorah:

"It launches itself into battle by flipping upside down and spewing frigid air from its mouth. It finishes opponents off with its dorsal blade."

• Arctibax evolves into Baxcalibur at level 54, a reference to the first Godzilla film being released in 1954.

Attachment When traveling on the cable car, there is a 1 in 64 chance for an NPC to appear in the background - a hiker, a camper, or a picnicker. However, there also exists a 4th NPC which never appears due to a faulty line of code. These include a Zigzagoon in Emerald, and a Poochyena in Ruby and Sapphire

Two of the game's achievements are references to popular memes. The first, titled "WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUCE" (awarded for failing Giovanni Goose's minigame), is a reference to the American adaptation of British reality show "Hell's Kitchen": in an episode from 2006, Chef Gordon Ramsey berates a kitchen full of chefs, demanding to know where the lamb sauce is for a dish being made. The second, titled "A Happy Little Accident" (awarded for clearing Stumbler O'Hare's minigame), is a reference to the art instruction show "The Joy of Painting": host Bob Ross was famous for the phrase "We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents," which is often seen as a guiding principle for the unpredictable nature of life.

Attachment In Final Egg, two large stasis tubes can be found. One holds Metal Sonic, while the other holds an unknown Sonic-based robot, later referred to as Mecha Sonic Mark III by Ian Flynn. This robot has no importance in the story, however, it seems to be based heavily on the design of Mechagodzilla from the "Godzilla" franchise's Shōwa era, due to many similar parts and possible textures from the robot. This also seems to be a reference to Mecha Sonic Mark I, also known as Silver Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, whose concept art also shows similarities to Mechagodzilla.

Attachment The character Cho'Gath seems to be based off the character the Violator from the American comic book franchise "Spawn". This could be a coincidence, but when the game first launched, the Void (where Cho'Gath is from) was framed more like the world's equivalent to Hell, and the Violator is a minion of Hell.

If the Song of Healing is reversed, it sounds similar to Saria's Song from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. While this may seem unintentional, the inputs to perform each song are also reversed from each other, with Saria's Song being played by pressing Down, Right and Left, while the Song of Healing is played with Left, Right and Down.

On September 21, 2020, as part of his podcast BumbleKast, writer Ian Flynn expressed interest in adapting Cosmo and the Metarex from the animated series "Sonic X" into IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog comics, which would effectively incorporate them into the mainline Sonic canon. A year later, he would reveal that said arc would not happen anytime soon, as fellow writer Evan Stanley had more stories that needed to be finished. In January 2024, however, Flynn revealed that most content that comes from the show is off the table, including characters such as Cosmo, the Metarex, Topaz, Mr. Tanaka, and Ella.

However, there may be an exception to this in the form of the "Next Show", a fictional children's show featuring a purple mascot character named Next that Cream and Cheese are shown to be fans of during Sonic X. The show was first referenced in Cream's Sonic Channel profile, where it was listed as one of her likes. Later, 2023 would feature two seperate instances of the show being referenced: first during the "Otherworld Comedy" series of wallpapers posted on Sonic Channel, where it was mentioned in the story for the May 2023 wallpaper ("Story Act 5: My Vector Man"), then later as part of the official Christmas 2023 picture, where a toy based on Next appears amongst the pile of gifts.

Attachment In the Slum area of the hub world, there is a peaceful green cheeseslime named Snotty. If one is to kill Snotty, a permanent tombstone will be placed in the hub world, but if he is kept alive, he will be added to the Crumbling Tower of Pizza stage as a rescue, and the save file with which the game was completed will get a stamp saying "Snotty Approved". Saving Snotty does not contribute to the game's completion rating, and if one kills Snotty after the save file is Snotty Approved, the stamp will not be taken away.

In the Commodore 64 version of the game, there are two known messages written with destroyable blocks that are hidden out-of-bounds in two levels of the game. In Level 1-1, the year "1989", referring to the year the game began development, can be found in the middle of the map. The other message is hidden in Level 1-3, where the letters "DTE" can be found in the middle of a land mass in the bottom-right corner of the map.

Attachment In King Nnyere's office in his Fort in Lebao-Sako, there is a side table with assorted bottles of liquor, including a unique bottle that can only be found in the Fort. It is a bottle of Extra Special, 43% volume Old French Whisky bottled in Quebec and aged for 30 years, and its label features the face of its brand name "Thomas Gillet: Polack Connection". Gillet was a texture artist at Ubisoft Quebec at the time, but he is not known to have worked on Far Cry 2. The bottle of French whiskey being produced in Quebec is a nod to Ubisoft Quebec, while the name "Polack Connection" seems to both be a nod to the 1971 film "The French Connection" and possibly Gillet's heritage. It's unknown if or how the remaining bottling details relate to Gillet.

Normally, each time you walk up to the trailer in Pikachu Valley, one or more Pikachus will appear and walk out of it. However, there is a rare chance that a Mimikyu will appear instead, which will then head back inside, leaving the player character confused. After the first time this happens, if you talk to the Trial Guide standing in front of the trailer, a new text prompt will be added telling the guide about the Mimikyu that appeared, but he responds saying he does not believe you and thinks you are "just seeing things".
