The in-game town of Springfield appears to be a reference to the town of the same name in The Simpsons. Along with the name, the similarities include two cooling towers for a nuclear power plant, similar town statues, a large donut sign, and "Joe's Tavern", referencing Moe's Tavern.

One of the bosses you can encounter is Grump Dan, a reference to Danny Sexbang, co-host of the let's play series Game Grumps and member of the comedy band Ninja Sex Party. When encountered, his opening line is "Sick Marmalade, Grandpa!", a reference to the line said by Danny in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive episode of Game Grumps.

There is a hidden ending that can only be accessed by skipping directly to the credits. In it, Sans says that it is most likely an error handler, but that the player probably got there by cheating. He then calls the player a "dirty hacker."

Undertale has two secret endings that can be seen by doing a Spoiler:Pacifist Run after a Genocide Run. If the player chooses to stay with Toriel, Chara's face appears on Frisk and a lower pitched version of Flowey's laugh plays. If the player chooses to leave, the picture of Frisk and friends is replaced with a picture of Chara in Frisk's place and big Xs appear on other characters. This may be implying that Chara killed them after the game. The only way to get the true pacifist ending back is to either modify or replace the game's save files.

At the start of the game's intro, there's a small chance that Kirby may wink at the player as he rides his Warp Star instead of smiling, and does a back flip instead of a loop. Other changes in the Alternate Intro includes there being an island in the water that Kirby flies past, and the Star Explosion at the end being bigger than usual.

The giant poster in the dystopian stage "Days of Future Past" is an homage to the cover of The Uncanny X-Men #141 and features a band of characters who appeared in MvC2 but were left out from MvC3. Cyclops, Colossus and Iceman retain their respective places and statuses since they were both in MvC2 roster and the comic cover. Mega Man is shown to be still at large, possibly as a response to the fans craving for him to be playable in the game.

Ethyl Wright's name seems to be a play on Ethyl Alcohol, the common name for ethanol, also simply known as "drinking alcohol". This fits the fact that her family's livelihood is based around distilling alcohol, and her disapproval of it.

Leon Bronev's office has a hidden chamber in the floor containing a variety of treasures, including a skull-shaped crystal. Upon examining them, Layton will say "Admirable craftsmanship, but really, I have little interest in crystal skulls." This is likely a reference to the movie featuring another famed archaeologist, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
