Line 14:
** "Welcome to ''my'' [[Fantasy Zone]]! [[Space Harrier|Get ready!]]"
*** That chapter's game play is ripped straight from Space Harrier, bosses and all.
*** The music for that chapter is a remixed version of the Space Harrier theme. Also the music for the motorcycle portion of Chapter 8 is a remixed version of the theme from ''[[After Burner]]'', another classic Sega game. In both cases you can change the soundtrack to the original retro versions by holding down L1 and L2 (for [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]]) or LB and LT (for 360) during the preceding cut scenes.
*** And the font for the display in the motorbike section control instructions? Straight out of ''Hang-On'', Sega's 1985 motorbike-based classic.
** In one of the early scenes where Bayonetta gets a ride from Enzo, the radio in Enzo's car is playing "Magical Sound Shower", one of the music tracks from the original ''Outrun''.
** Bayonetta's Panther form resembles a black and gold [[Okami|Amaterasu]], even causing black roses to sprout behind her as she runs.
** At the beginning of the game, Bayonetta and Enzo are conducting the funeral of a guy named "[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Eggman]]" and the angel Halos which comprise the game's currency seem awfully familiar.
*** The 'Eggman' line [https://web.archive.org/web/20140730031119/http://platinumgames.com/2010/04/14/platinum-twilight-and-bayonetta-developer-commentary/ was explained by Kamiya] thus:
{{quote|'''Kamiya''': In this part, I had just randomly decided to use the word "Eggman". Then I found out it was the name of a character [[Sonic the Hedgehog|in another famous game.]] I figured if the fans get a kick out of it, [[Throw It In|then it is fine to leave it as it is.]]}}
** One of the demonic beasts Bayonetta can summon is a reference to Phantom from ''Devil May Cry''. Both happen to be giant demonic spiders filled with lava. Oddly enough, it's portrayed in almost the opposite way; this demon is one of only ''two'' demons referred to positively. It is described as curious, rare, and willing to offer treasures or rare knowledge to those who find it, as opposed to the others which are for the most part described as brutal monstrosities.
*** Games Radar notes all these, and more (such as a subtle one to ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'') [http://www.gamesradar.com/f/30-hidden-references-in-bayonetta/a-2010011493658559064 here].
** [[Christopher Walken|"I've got a fever and the only cure is more dead angels."]]
** If you beat the game on its hardest setting, you unlock a weapon called Pillow Talk, which is basically a green, lightsaber-ish sword, and was taken straight out of ''Okami'' (including the name), in which it was wielded by Waka during both battles against him.
Line 31:
** The symbol on Bayonetta's chest, when combined with the crescent-moon shape cut out of her catsuit, forms the symbol of the Oboro clan from the [[PlayStation 2]] Shinobi game.
** One of the [[Bonus Boss]] of the games attacks after you get his health halfway down is a [[Street Fighter|Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu]], complete with a blank screen and multiple hits shown. It drops your health down by [[Nintendo Hard|99% when you have full health, but kills instantly when you have less than 50% health left]]. [[Precision F-Strike|Fuck.]]
** A rather well hidden one to [[Chappelle's Show]] involves Jeanne: [http://www.entertonement.com/clips/dzrybkytmn--It%27s-a-celebration-bitchesChappelle%27s-Show-Dave-Chappelle-Chappelle%27s-Show-Season-2-Chappelle%27s-Show-2x18-Ep-204- "It's a celebration bitches!"]{{Dead link}} (when you get a Pure Platinum trophy with Jeanne)
** Come on, Enzo?! Shares the same name with a man whose never appeared in the Devil May Cry games.
** [[Devil May Cry|"Flock off, feather face."]] Bayonetta's delivery is possibly even [[Narm|narmier]] than Dante's.
** Also from the first [[Devil May Cry]], In mission 17, when the [[An Ice Person|Frost's]] were introduced. It almost looked exactly like [[Demonic Spiders|Grace & Glory's]] [[Mook Debut Cutscene|intro cutsecene]].
** And isn't even [[Up to Eleven|all of them]]. To put it lightly, [http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/946345-bayonetta/faqs/58989 there is a] [[Game FAQsGameFAQs|FAQ]] dedicated to the amount of [[Shout-Out|shout outs]] in this game, and it ''STILL'' didn't cover all of them.
