* The game draws perhaps its heaviest overall influence from the [[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]] series. The intro screen is a direct callback to ''[[Mega Man 2]]'', and the game features two bosses as well as an area with music and themes taken from that game. Additionally, two very common obstacles in the game - the vanishing blocks and the insta-kill spikes of doom - are ubiquitous mainstays of the MM series.
* With the exception of the Guy, all of the bosses are taken from other games: [[Metroid|Mother Brain]], [[Punch
** The Guy's second form is a direct reference to the cyborg boss battle from ''[[Contra]] III'', and the Mecha-Birdo fight also possibly references the aerial boss battle from the aforementioned game.
** Several regular enemies qualify, as well, such as the birds from [[Ninja Gaiden]].
