Line 20:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: See [[Mythology Gag]].
* [[Gotta Collect Them All]]: There are artifacts flashing through all the colours the spectrum could handle, you have collect all of them. In the sequel, you go to the moon, a desert island, and the depths of Hell - although this time, you don't quite need all of them (150 of 175 will do).
* [[Inconveniently
** ''Star Drive: Early Brick Version'' in JSW2 takes it [[Up to Eleven]]. Pretty much every single platform in the room is a conveyor - and until you step on them, you can't tell which way they're going to take you.
* [[Minus World]]: In the original, jumping up from "The Watch Tower" leads to "The Off Licence" despite this being nowhere near. (In JSW2 it leads to the "Rocket Room".) This is to do with the numbers used for each room (The Off Licence is room 0, so it is a default room when one isn't specified.)
Line 26:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The room ''Oh $#!+! The Central Cavern'' in ''Jet Set Willy 2'' refers to the first level of ''Manic Miner''.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Hacks of the game are so hard you have to exploit [[Good Bad Bugs]] to complete them. Even though ''Jet Set Willy 2'' is completable, it is still a very hard game, requiring pixel-perfect jumping, and you only have eight lives (no extra lives in this game).
* [[One
* [[Popcultural Osmosis]]: The first movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" is the title music.
* [[Platform Hell]]: One of the earliest examples of this.
Line 33:
** And don't forget the Emergency Power Generator, which consists of [[Pink Floyd|a flying pig above a miniature indoor Battersea Power Station]].
** And in ''JSW2'', you can fly a rocket into space. Complete the Cartography Room, and you'll note that the rooms making up the space area form a shape that looks suspiciously like the [[Star Trek|Enterprise]]. (One of the first rooms is called ''NCC 1501''; along and up a bit is ''The TROUBLE with TRIBBLES is...''.)
** ''JSW2'' also had (amongst the first few rooms entered) "Macaroni Ted" (referencing ''[[Technician Ted]]'', whose authors worked at Marconi) and "Dumb Waiter" (a [[Take That]] to Imagine's ''[[Wacky Waiter]]''). It even had a [[Shout Out]] to [[Manic Miner|the first game in the series]], in "Down T' Pit". It also has [[Star Trek|"Beam me Down Spotty"]] leading to a planet surface or to the Bathroom, and [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|"Beam me Up Spotty"]] (the last room of the planet) leading back to "Beam me Down Spotty".
** And one of the space rooms ("Loony Jet Set") is a tribute to [[Ultimate]]'s ''[[Jetpac]]''; and slightly further along, "Eggoids" is the same for their ''[[Lunar Jetman]]''.
** And just above "Entrace To Hades", you'll find "[[ACDC (Music)|Highway to Hell]]".
