** Actually, this game may be the best example here, as, according to the dev team, ''[[Shown Their Work|every single detail]]'' is a [[Shout Out]] to some obscure bit of [[Disney]] history. [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey's]] sidekick, [[Deadpan Snarker|Gus?]] He's from an unmade WWII cartoon by Roald Dahl. The [[NPC|NPCs]] on [[Hub Level|Mean Street]]? Extras from [[Classic Disney Shorts]]. ''[[Serial Escalation|Individual barrels?]]'' You'd better believe they turned up in one [[Disney]] project or another before showing up here. [[Shown Their Work]] doesn't ''begin'' to cover it.
