Attachment When traversing the drainage pipe that leads to Barnsworth, the player can spot graffiti that reads "PAY NO POLL TAX" and "DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!" These reference slogans from opponents of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

The former references the Community Charge, a controversial policy of the Thatcher administration that resulted in her 1990 resignation following widespread protests (it was ultimately replaced by the Council Tax three years later). The latter message references a campaign by anti-Thatcherites following her death in 2013 to inflate the chart position of "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead", a song from the 1939 film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, under the pretense that the BBC would be forced to play it over the radio. The network ultimately compromised by including a brief snippet in a news report about the campaign. The presence of both references ties in with the game's setting in Northern England, where anti-Thatcherism is particularly pronounced.

The Ultimate Challenge from Beat Takeshi
1
Attachment After obtaining the map from the karaoke bar, if the player selects the "じっとみつめる" ("Stare") option and waits on the resulting screen for an hour, a text box will appear mimicking the sign-off messages used by Japanese TV channels before the screen goes black. Waiting an additional three hours brings up a series of SMPTE color bars, and waiting one more hour brings up a second text box which simply reads "おはようございます" ("good morning"). Following this, the player is returned to the karaoke bar, with their progress reverted to before obtaining the map.

Attachment All the playable characters were originally intended to have heartstruck expressions where they blush with hearts in their eyes, but only Bean's expression is used in the final game as a rare random object which Amy can drop using the special move "Heads Up!"

Attachment The New World script seen throughout the game is a cipher for the Latin alphabet. While this is most visible with the subtitles for "Welcome to the New World", which are provided in both scripts, all other instances are just as easily translatable, producing coherent English-language messages.

In an interview for Nintendo's "Ask the Developers" column, series director Shinya Kumazaki and associate producer Kei Ninomiya revealed that they deliberately designed and utilized the New World script in a way that would allow players to translate it themselves, with Kumazaki describing it as a way to make the game more immersive for curious audiences.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
1
Attachment As a sort of call-back to Super Paper Mario, the opening scene of The Thousand-Year Door remake features portraits of Mario's partners from Paper Mario. At the end of the game, Spoiler:a new second portrait of the partners from The Thousand-Year Door can be seen alongside it, lining up with the beginning of Super Paper Mario.

In an intro dialogue with Geras and Johnny Cage, the former will ask, "You want a sports almanac from the future?" to which Cage will respond "Forget it. It was just an idea."

This is a reference to the film "Back to the Future Part II" where the main antagonist, Biff Tannen, gives his younger self a sports almanac from the future so that he can become rich by betting on future sports outcomes.

In the American House, Pappas and Mamas' room features a shelf that when examined lists off the names of three comic manuscripts Pappas wrote: "Platinum Surfer", "Z-Men", and "SCAWN". These are references to the Marvel Comics and Image Comics properties Silver Surfer, X-Men, and Spawn respectively.

Attachment In the original release of the game, attempting to quit during the scene where Spoiler:the player character walks in on the aftermath of Sayori's suicide would open a modified version of the exit prompt. The text in this version of the window is heavily distorted, and a rapidly flashing GIF portrait of Sayori appears in the leftmost region. This Easter egg was removed in the Version 1.1.1 update due to concerns that audiences would interpret this as the game mocking them for feeling distressed at Spoiler:a realistic depiction of suicide; another likely factor for its removal is the risk that the flashing could pose to epileptic or photosensitive players. Despite this, the prompt's assets are still present in the game's files.

Attachment At the end of the game's manual is a page demonstrating how to save your progress with an 8-digit passcode, with the pilot in the manual showing his own passcode: #1BC3904. Trying to use this passcode in the game will deliver the following message:

"USAF REGULATIONS

However, if you enter this code backwards as 4093CB1#, Invincibility will be enabled and every mission in Theater mode will be available to select.

Bayonetta
2
At the start of Bayonetta, a funeral is held for a notorious criminal known as "Eggman the Destroyer". This, to a Western audience, seems like a very obvious reference to Sonic the Hedgehog's main antagonist Dr. Eggman, as Bayonetta was published by Sega. However, series creator Hideki Kamiya claimed that he randomly chose the name Eggman and was not aware that there existed a popular Sega character with the name, choosing to leave it as is in the hopes that fans would "get a kick out of that".

Within the Underground World (a hidden area in the Dream World only accessible by sleeping in one of five replicas of Madotsuki's bed, randomly chosen each time she falls asleep) is a large corridor full of fire. Normally, this room requires Madotsuki to obtain and equip either the Snow Woman or Umbrella effect, which produces precipitation that puts the fire out and allows her to proceed into the Storage Room. However, if she enters this area as a snowman (by equipping the Hat & Scarf effect and pressing the 1 key in the Snow World) and stands next to the fire, she will slowly melt into a puddle of water; pressing the 1 key while in this state reverts her back to human form, as with the un-melted snowman.

While Madotsuki can also become a snowman in the blizzard generated by the Snow Woman effect, the weather would carry over to the corridor and extinguish the fire immediately upon entering. Consequently, Madotsuki can only access this Easter egg via the blizzard that appears by default in the Snow World.
For Honor
5
Attachment The male Berserker class in For Honor was voiced by Stefán Karl Stefánsson, an Icelandic actor best known for portraying the villain Robbie Rotten in the live-action children's series LazyTown. The character was the subject of various internet memes throughout the show's run, the most popular of which being the song "We Are Number One" from the episode "Robbie's Dream Team". Following Stefánsson's widely-publicized death from bile duct cancer, a pair of Robbie Rotten references were added to the game as a tribute. These include:

• An emote named "Number One", where the Berserker transforms into a statue raising a finger upwards, resembling a pose Robbie Rotten does leading into "We Are Number One", with the caption "In Memoriam - to our Number One villain".
• A bot named "RobbieBotten" who plays as the Berserker and wears blue and red stripes, a similar but not exact proximity to the color scheme of Rotten's outfit.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

In this version of the game, the Spin Jump button is the same button as the Jump button. This is a first for the series, where the Spin Jump is usually performed by pressing the trigger buttons or shaking the controller. However, on the title screen, if you hold down the left stick for 3 seconds and press L and R, the Spin Jump button will be reverted back to the triggers, and the Jump button can no longer be used for it. Nabbit's voice will be heard when going to the main menu if the control switch is successful. This control option was not advertised or mentioned at any point by Nintendo, and appears to be an Easter egg.

Throughout several games in the Yakuza series, songs from Sega franchises will play in businesses like convenience stores and karaoke bars. While an official list of every song and where they were used throughout the series has not been finalized, some known examples include songs from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, the Phantasy Star series, Jet Set Radio Future, Nights into Dreams..., Clockwork Knight, and Space Channel 5: Part 2 among others.

Another Crab's Treasure

Just before fighting Spoiler:Praya Dubia towards the end of the game, the background music that plays in the lead-up to the boss fight is a song titled "Crab Grave". The title of the song and its core notes (while not sharing the exact same melody) are a reference to "Crab Rave", a house song composed by Irish electronic music producer Noisestorm and accompanied by a CGI music video depicting crabs dancing on a remote island that later became a meme.

After passing through the Shallows and New Carcinia, Kril will enter an area called The Sands Between, an homage to The Lands Between, the main setting of the game Elden Ring.

Attachment In New Carcinia, there are many cardboard boxes featuring a QR code. When scanned, it will link the player to a YouTube re-upload of a Rickroll-style meme called "You just got Coconut Mall'd", referencing a track from the game Mario Kart Wii.
