An NPC appearing in Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II is potentially a reference to American domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. It should be noted that while his character portrait and overworld sprite look similar to Kaczynski, it is used for several different NPC characters in the game, so it's unknown if he was originally intended to physically resemble the real-life Unabomber. However, like the Unabomber this character is also named Ted, he moved to a cabin in the woods, and believes society is too reliant on industrial technology, even complimenting Vegeta on "blowing up" a neighbor's generator after he failed to destroy it himself. His dialogue is the following:
Ted: "I moved out here because society is too reliant on Capsule technology. Civilization is falling apart, and we've all filled our pockets with capsules, SUV's and capsule cappuccino machines. It is unnatural. It was very peaceful here - until that Vinnie guy moved in. He makes me sick! Listen to that music he is always playing:
"Feel the danger around you!
The black darkness surrounds you!"
"What are you going to do?
The eyes of the lion!"
I can't stand that corporate pop music Vinnie is always playing: [same lyrics as above]
[After destroying Vinnie's generator]: You blew up his generator? I like your style! I would have done it myself, but I couldn't figure out his security code."

In Capsule Corp, a yellow hovercar can be found to the left directly after entering the building. A scientist working on the hovercar reveals that it's a prototype model that he predicts will be a "huge hit" when it's finished and released. According to the game's official strategy guide, this hovercar is the same one used by Goku and his driving instructor in the "Dragon Ball Z" filler episode "Goku's Ordeal", where Goku and Piccolo are forced by Chi-Chi to take driving lessons.
Hovercar in-game:

Though none of the Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku games were released in Japan, a special version of the second instalment called Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II: International was released exclusively in Japan. This edition was published by Banpresto and featured updated character portraits and the character's names changed to their original Japanese names, though Mr. Satan is still referred to his English name "Hercule" on a parade float.

There is a variant of the pirate robot built by the Red Ribbon Army. Its description states:
The original was built by pirates. Also, the name Geromantium refers to a character from the series named Dr. Gero.
"This giant robot bears the insignia of the Red Ribbon Army. Scanning indicates that this robot was designed for military purposes. The thick Geromatium armor on this robot makes it invulnerable to most conventional attack."
