** Though it's revealed that Mercury Filmworks has worked on Gamora's fairy tale sequence to resemble the style of Tangled: The Series.
*Drax's comic book world pays homage to older Marvel Comics, notably Spider-Man. J'son's appearance in this world is based on J. Jonah Jameson.
** Conversely, Drax and his alter-ego as Drax-Man is based on Superman and his alter-ego Clark Kent. The use of onomatopoeia while fighting Printing-press Paul is based on the 1960's Batman TV series.
* Rocket's CG world takes influence from the airport sequence from Toy Story 2.
* Groot's CG world resembles Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
** Groot's sequence is the first time that he speaks full sentences beyond his usual "I am Groot".
* Quill's duel with his arm is based on Evil Dead 2, where Ash's hand is possessed by a Deadite and attempts to kill him, before Ash cuts it off with a chainsaw.
** Quill's comment referring to his arm as a "wise guy" is a reference to the Three Stooges. Quill imitates Moe's inflection when he says his line.
* Rocket's appearance in the black and white world resembles Mickey Mouse while the Groot branches behave similar to Pluto.
** Rocket's meeting with Drax is accompanied by music resembling Night on Bald Mountain.
* Quill loses his coins in the 8-bit dimension simiilar to Sonic the Hedgehog losing his rings.
