The cookies and milk have once again been eaten, although last time we didn’t get to see a picture of what the note said, so here it is.
Im also a little confused about the content of the note, it says “Santa Claus” but he was eaten long ago by the giant crab who then became the new santa, so in reality the note should say “Santa Claws” since that’s his name.

Here’s the reference post i was working on so very long ago.
While perusing the arcade shop (way back in the middle of April) i noticed that the jet engine jetpacks price was 74,700, which appears to be a reference to the Boeing 747 air plane, so i decided to take a quick look around the shop and started seeing a lot more references, the items, their prices and item descriptions had references in them.
So i decided to try and find all the references i knew about in the arcade shop, plus a few other neat things that was tugged away in the shop.
Sidenote: According to the developers some of these references are purely accidental, it’s unknown exactly which ones are accidental and which ones are intended because they are too busy with developing the game to tell me. stupid devs why do we even have them if they’re too busy with making a good game to tell us about random unimportant stuff
References:
“Astronaut Helmet”
The description of the item “One small step for man.” is part of a quote that was said by Neil Alden Armstrong during the moon landing,
The full quote goes: That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
The price of the item (19,690) is a reference to the year 1969 which is the year in which the moon landing occured.

Based on the name and design of this item it is possible that this item is a reference to the “Brain Slug” from Futurama, the only difference in the designs is that the Brain Slug only has one eye.

The plushie is based on a character called “Larry the Cucumber” from a franchise called “VeggieTales”, which is a series of children’s books, television shows, DVDs, games and other stuff.
The plush has a book titled “GOD’S GOURDS” because VeggieTales is a Christian franchise that retell stories from the Bible.

The item price of the headset (9001) is a reference to the internet meme “It’s Over 9000!”.
The meme itself originates from a scene in Dragon Ball Z in which someone screams “It’s over 9000!”, possibly because of a translation error.
“Jet Engine Jetpack”
As previously mentioned earlier in this post, the item price of the jetpack (74,700) is a reference to the Boeing 747 jet aircraft.

“Lucky Catsack”
The Lucky Catsacks (which doesn’t quite look like a catsack) is based on the japanese figures known as “Beckoning cat”, the figuriness have different meanings depending on their color, pose and symbols.
The Lucky Catsack in the store symbolises the following:
White cat: Happiness, purity and positive outcomes
Left Paw raised: Invites customers
Gold coin: Wealth and material abundance
Bell: Treasure, both material and non-material
This interpretation of what the Lucky Catsack means might not be accurate as the multiple sources i found claim different meanings for the same colors and symbols
“Mushroom Plush”
The item description “A plumber’s favorite snack.” is referencing that the mushroom is a power-up that is often “consumed” by Mario and Luigi in the Super Mario series.
Disregarding the legs the mushroom plushy looks similar to the mushroom power up in “Super Mario Bros. 2” and “Super Mario Kart”.

The item is a reference to a character called “The Annoying Orange” which constantly appeared in a video series on Youtube called “The Annoying Orange” as the main character.

The moral that this fable teaches has been widely open to interpretation.
“RC Toy Rocket”
The item description “Houston, we have liftoff!” is a non existant quote.
According to NASA’s own information archives this line hasn’t been said in any entry on the audio galleries or flight journals.
It’s possible that the quote in the description is a combination of two different ones, the first part being from the line “Ok, Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” which was said during the Apollo 13 mission when the crew encountered an electrical problem.
And the second part of the quote would be from the line “Liftoff! We have a liftoff” which was said by mission control when the Apollo 11 rocket launched.

The item description “You’re a stupid little baby man.” is a quote from the flash animation “The Evil Strawberry” which was released on Albino Blacksheep.

The price of this item is the exact same as the Spiked Turtle Shell.
“Wearable Dollar Sign”
The item description “Dolla dolla bill, ya’ll!” is a song lyric from a song called “C.R.E.A.M”, which was sung by the Wu-Tang Clan.

“Prince Hat”
This hat is the same hat as the one that was worn by the musician called Prince.
There were some possible references or parts that i decided not to add to the post because it seemed like they were either not relevant, actually referencing something or too open to interpretation.
Although they are in the following section in case you want to see them.
- Rejected Stuff
“Antique Telescope”
The item description “Bring out your inner Galileo.” is referencing that Galileo Galilei quickly began building his own telescope after learning about the invention.
“Apple Plush”
The item description “This little fella will keep those doctors away.” is a reference to the old proverb “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”.
“Crab Plush”
The description “Feeling crabby?” might be an accidental reference to the name of a quest in World of Warcaft, this is the only reference that the devs had time to tell me wasn’t intended by them.
“Karate Bandana”
The item description “Nothing will ever bring you down.” is a reference to the song “You’re the Best” which appeared in the “Karate Kid” movie.
In the song the actual lyric is “Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down”.

This plushy is the giant dragon that appears in the Little Crusaders gamemode.
In retrospect im honestly not sure why i even made this entry

May have been posted already, but the top 5 ranks for Zombie Massacre are references to certain Zombie Killing (and one that kills aliens for some reason) Badasses.
Frank West (I assume), Jill Valentine, Daryl Nixon, Ashley J. Williams, and Ellen Ripley (From Dead Rising, Resident Evil, The Walking Dead, Evil Dead and Alien/s Respectively)

I have snoop around the Halloween 2021 update and I found some stuff that are interesting.
The Mysteries door in the Chainsaw arena minigame have gone missing,
It suppose to be on the top right but its gone, and the pipes to climb on just clips into the player.
Another Mysteries thing is the island, the monorails to the island have been gone too,
It maybe because of the Monorail Reimplementation being in the works but I have no idea, and also there’s a blue light in the ocean from the right of the island (idk if this is just a bug but its interesting).

I believe this has been gone for a while now. I might be wrong about the door though, but I know the pipes have had no collisions for at least a month or two now.

Im surprised no one else seems to have noticed this one yet.
So the Fantasy Viewer item in the arcade actually has some text written on it, sadly its nearly impossible to read what it says since its just a part of one of the mask textures.
luckily through a combination of asset viewers and TU files before they were combined into one pak i was able to get a proper look at what the text said:
- Pictures will steal your soul
- Crank might hurt your finger
- If you share with other people you will get pink eye
- Someone will put disgusting things on the reel
- For the love of gosh dont look through this…
