Line 23:
** When Palutena talks about the powers and how you have to take into account the size and shape of the powers to fit into a grid, Pit proclaims that "All that time playing [[Dr. Mario]] has come in handy!"
** When you battle {{spoiler|the Kraken for the second time}}, upon knocking it out, Pit will shout, "Take that, tentafool!", a clear reference to [[Pokémon|Tentacool/Tentacruel]].
** Computer players in multiplayer have names which many Nintendo fans should recognize, such as "[[Animal Crossing|Resetti]]", "[[Punch Out|King Hippo]]", and even "[[Captain N: theThe Game Master|Captain N]]".
* Several enemies are named after deities and beasts from Greek mythology, though many of these names have been slightly altered (or, more likely, bungled in the translation).
* The sound effects of certain shots finding their mark sound very similar to those made by [[MegamanMega Man Legends|MegaMan Buster shots]] doing the same.
* ''Thanatos Rising'' has what's basically a cross between a Trojan Horse and [[The Empire Strikes Back (Film)|an AT-AT.]] The {{spoiler|Lunar Sanctum}} level is basically a huge love letter to [[A New Hope (Film)|A New Hope]], with Pit {{spoiler|assaulting and infiltrating a giant moon-shaped space station with a super laser.}}
* [[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|"There are reapers creeping around in there."]]
* Mimicuties have a rapid-kick move similar to [[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Chun-Li's Lightning Legs]]. {{spoiler|In the final chapter, Hades' fight involves him throwing monoliths at you in a fashion very similarly to the [[Kamehame Hadoken|Hadoken]] motion. And when Medusa shows up to help out, he unleashes a [[Shoryuken]] on her}}.
* The Brawler Claw's continuous fire is the [[Hokuto no Ken|Hokuto Hyakuretsuken]].
* The Ore Club lets you beat people up with the [[Lord of the Rings|Eye of Sauron]], and the Black Club is a [[2001: A Space Odyssey|2001 monolith.]]
Line 34:
* At one point, {{spoiler|Viridi}} says that Pit and Palutena have a "mutual admiration society." They later say "[[Annie Get Your Gun|Anything Palutena can do, I can do better]]."
* Pyrrhon mentions reading up on the {{spoiler|Aurum}} on [[That Other Wiki|Divinipedia]].
* {{spoiler|The Heart of Hades}} fights you in an arena that looks like it came from [[Bomberman (Video Game)|Bomberman]]. Throughout the fight, it will drop bombs that work just like the ones from Bomberman.
* {{spoiler|When Hades goes [[One-Winged Angel]] and sprouts a new head, it has a blue flame instead of hair, making him resemble [[Hercules (Disney film)|another version of Hades.]] }}
* The idol for the Hedgehog Claws weapon contains the description [[Sonic the Hedgehog|"these claws charge quickly and provide a large speed boost to users."]]
* In the game, there's an enemy called "Collin" that can only be killed when you hit back the enemy it fires. The idol for this enemy says the name of the fired enemy is "Phil", and the idol is named "Collin and Phil". [[Phil Collins|Flip the two names around...]]
Line 43:
* Pyrrhon's Large Ham attitude is extremely similar to a [[The Tick|certain blue-clad superhero]]. Doesn't help that he's a (self-proclaimed) [[The Mighty Thor|deity giving superheroics a shot]].
* The Space Pirates are located in [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|the Galactic Sea]].
* One of the loading screen tips says "Touch certain surfaces in Air Battles to run on them. [[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Try this on Hewdraw's back.]]"
* If the [[That's No Moon|moon fortress]] didn't make you think of ''[[Star Wars]]'' then the music that suddenly starts playing once you're under attack will.
