Video Game References in this episode:

• The following two points, as it turns out, were clues that Emu pieced together to realize that they were in the Game World.
  • Poppy is a maid who only responds in repeating phrases with limited ability of interaction. This reflects the aspect of an NPC character as they move in a preprogrammed fashion and have a limited set of phrases or repeat a single phrase when spoken to.
  • The Riders will return to the house wherever how far they go is a references to some video games that if the character reached the edge of the map, they will be sent back to starting point.
• The house appearing smaller when outside, but much larger on the inside, refers to the same feature found in many fictional games, especially ones that take place in the Mario universe.
