** 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]].
* Some of the screens are heavily based on areas of other games, such as ''[[Metroid]]'', ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]], ''[[Ghosts 'n Goblins (series)|Ghosts N Goblins]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', and ''[[Castlevania]]''. Also, [[Tetris]]. And Breakout.
* The ''Zelda'' area has a giant 8-bit Link who serves as a platform, but can kill you if you linger for too long.
** [[Memetic Mutation|You jumped into a sword, you retard!]]
