Line 62:
** Pierce's conversation with Gilbert at the beginning of the episode. {{spoiler|At one point Pierce refers to Gilbert as 'soul brother'. He doesn't suspect at the time, but this turns out to be more true than he realizes...}}
** When the study group first arrives at the gaming centre, Gilbert initially appears by suddenly announcing himself and startlingly the study group. He keeps doing this in the video game, but is a lot more malevolent each time.
* [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]]: Lawson, {{spoiler|subverted. Seems like a villain at first, but as it turns out he's just a nice guy who becomes crazy when it comes to his estranged dad. [[Defeat Means Friendship|He even takes the group out for drinks after the game's done]].}}
* [[Freeze Frame Bonus]]: The menus that display when Abed interacts with Hilda. On the first display of possible actions Abed can do with her is [[The Silence of the Lambs|"I will wear your skin."]] One of her leveled-up actions is "Kickpunch" and another is "[[Inspector Spacetime|Spacetime]] RPG".
** At one point Lawson types in a [[Long List]] of parameters for the game program, including such items as "God Mode", "Testicular Fortitude", "Intestinal Fortitude", "Giraffe Mode", and "Nuclear Wraith".
Line 126:
* [[The Rainman]]: Lampshaded when Abed chooses to stay behind with Hilda, Pierce complains that he is "playing the Rainman card."
* [[Rain of Arrows]]: Troy and Jeff [[Spam Attack|fire a ton of arrows]] at Lawson, which have no effect.
* [[Rapid -Fire Typing]]
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: The black caverns. To say there are [[Unfortunate Implications]] in those caves would be putting it lightly.
** Really, the entire videogame world revels in the audacity of Cornelius' racism, from the Desert of Laziness covered in sombreros and burritos to the Gay Island with a very... [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|suggestive]] shape.
Line 150:
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Lawson acquires lightning powers by [[Level Grinding]].
* [[Shoplift and Die]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: As this episode is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of 8-bit games, these are numerous.
** Jumping-in spawning and the rising door in Castle Hawkthorne from ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]]''. Hilda's long list of information includes the Robot Masters' weapons from ''2''.
** The red leaf and the fireworks going off from ''[[Super Mario Bros (Franchise)|Super Mario Bros]]''.
** [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Franchise)|Tails's tails and Sonic]] can be seen preserved in glass jars on top of the shelves in the secret chamber.
** Abed returning to [[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/S4 E9 Forest of the Dead|save Hilda on his flashdrive.]]
** The game's crafting system is straight out of ''[[Minecraft]]''
** "Annie, let's find the [[Wizard of Oz|Tin Man's heart]] later."
Line 193:
** {{spoiler|Lawson turns out to be this. He puts up with all kinds of crap from Cornelius just so he could gain some recognition. He even turns down the inheritance at first when he finds out that Cornelius still refuses to see him as his son.}}
* [[A Winner Is You]]: The fireworks are disappointing, but winning the inheritance helps.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: Lampshaded.
{{quote| '''Jeff''': He [Pierce] is still technically our friend!}}
* [[Worst Whatever Ever]]:
