Line 55:
* "[[Ride of the Valkyries]]": Clearing the minefield, featuring a fantastic contradiction between a full orchestra and a cheap plinky-plonk synth
* [[Riding Into the Sunset]] - Twice!
* [[Shout-Out]] / [[Mythology Gag]]:
{{quote|'''Miranda:''' Well, I tracked the guy to Melonweed. But I'm not going near the place! They'd kill me! Get my editor! He's got to get me out of this! Take one of these fake I Ds to get through the roadblocks. My career is riding on those pictures! '''[[Star Wars|Help me, Ben, you're my only hope!]]'''}}
* [[Spiritual Successor]] - Tim Schafer's ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' bears some visual similarities to this one, though ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' is focused entirely on heavy metal. The style of the bikes and cars are almost identical across both games (though no hover cars in ''[[Brutal Legend]]'').
** A cut sequence from the game (thanks to [[Executive Meddling]]) in which Ben experienced a peyote-influenced hallucinogenic trip would also go on to inspire a later Schafer project, ''[[Psychonauts]]''.
* [[Shout-Out]] - The chainsaw wielding biker. With the red punk hair. Named Razor. She shows up at the funeral. It's Razor from [[Maniac Mansion]], and, [[Fridge Brilliance]], she finally found that chainsaw gas.
** This being [[LucasArts]], there's a couple to [[Star Wars]]:

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]] - See also [[Incendiary Exponent]].
* [[Swallowed a Fly]]: Ben chats with his old biker gang leader, Father Torque, while they're both in the middle of riding. Exhausting all conversation trees will cause Torque to say that he can't talk anymore because he's eating too many bugs.
* [[Terrible Trio]] - Adrian Ripburger's mooks Nestor and Bolus.
* [[Treacherous Advisor]] - Even ''Malcom'' doesn't trust him and he's the one who hired him! So it comes as no shock when {{spoiler|Ripburger bludgeons the old guy to death with his cane and takes over his company by force.}}
* [[Wrench Wench]] - Maureen.
* [[Video Will]] - Malcom has one of these. Playing it at the board meeting is a major plot point.
