Inspirations and references

The Baldi's Basics 1 1/2 series contains a couple of inspirations and references to elements (e.g., other video games and real life references) gathered by popnoyster98.
==Characters==
===Super Mario===
*There are a group of characters in the franchise that are directly inspired by Super Mario's appearance from the Nintendo franchise that goes by the same name. These include but are not limited to David, Mario the Liver Stealer, and Mayrio.
===Super Luigi===
*Codename "L"'s body and outfit was mainly inspired by Luigi's appearance from the aforementioned Nintendo franchise.
===Three-Headed Baldi===
*Three-Headed Playtime was directly inspired by Three-Headed Baldi and referenced his appearance.
===Vetulicolia Cuneata===
*Shortly after the developer of the Baldi's Basics 1 1/2 series released The Foreign Deception, he randomly stumbled upon a Wikipedia page about a Cambrian animal known as Vetulicolia Cuneata. After visiting the Wikipedia page, he was inspired to create Venacuile, who ended up replacing Pencil Horse entirely.
==Songs==
===John Mellencamp's Jack & Diane===
*Lilja's pseudonym was directly inspired from the song's title.
== Videos ==
=== SMG4 Videos ===
* There are some ambience voicelines that play at a random point during the power outage event. Both of these voicelines were taken from various SMG4 videos.
** One of these voicelines was of someone shouting a cuss word. This voiceline was remove in The Optimized Schoolhouse. Another one was of one shouting "Oh God no! AHAHAH!". Both of these voicelines are taken from various SMG4 videos.
* Codename "L"'s "You stink!" voiceline is directly taken from Luigi's Friday Night of Funks at timestamp 5:11.
=== Super Mario 64 Error collection Part 2 ===
* Codename "L" is mainly inspired from this video. At timestamp 1:03, a very similar looking entity flickers on the screen with static.
* One of the sounds that The Mocking Bird can play is a glitch sound, which is taken from timestamp 1:32.
=== Enemy5p0tted Videos ===
* At a random point during a power outage event, there is another possibility of a group of men saying "YOU!" in a rapper-like style. The sound was taken from Enemy5p0tted's video, Who is Wilma? where that same sound can be heard near the end of the video. It is also directly taken from one of Soulja Boy's songs. 
== Video Games ==
=== WarioWare ===
* If the player gets 1 or 2 answers right on Math Child's math quiz if they are in Explorer Mode, there is a possibility that the YCTP will display the text, "Remember: Confidence is key!" after the quiz is over. This is in reference to one of Penny Crygor's quotes from WarioWare Gold, in which she says the same line.

=== Super Pac-Man ===
* When picking up a special item, a sound will play in the background indicating that they have collected said item. This sound is directly taken from the Super Pac-Man arcade game, where it plays when Pac-Man collects a key.
=== Baldi's Basics The Map Pack ===
* The Speedy Potion that appears in this game is what inspired TOQ to make Penny's Potions. The invisibility potion's texture is the same exact texture that the speedy potion from BBTMP uses.
=== Baldi's Basics Random Map Series ===
* Magic Man's voiceline, "Here's your magic:" is in reference to one of Tricky's voicelines from BBRMS.
* The list of 4 wishes that shows when Magic Man thanks the player is in reference to the list of wishes that Frannie shows the player.
=== Vannamelon's Basics in Sweet & Sour ===
* In The Fascinating School, the pay phone's design changed into one that looks like a phone with a large speaker and an antennae. The new design is actually taken from Vannamelon's Basics DX.
There are a few secret codes that the player can input into a math YCTP that are based off of the secret codes that are included in the aforementioned game.
* The code "67758" in Vannamelon's Basics will replace the player's entire inventory with Melon Sodas, said game's version of BSODAs. In BB 1 1/2, that very code will change the player's inventory by placing BSODAs in slots 1, 3, and 5, and Zesty Bars in slots 2, and 4.
* The code "78894" in both games will cause the power to go out. However, in BB 1 1/2, after the code has been inputted, the game will wait 1 second after the player exits the math minigame, and then the power outage will occur.
=== Oranio2010 Mods ===
* In one of Oranio2010's Baldi mods, there is an item in the game that is a re-texture of the BSODA. The texture of that item was later used for the Rocket Launcher.
* When TOQ first played Baldi's Weird Nightshift, he noticed a blue bird character in the game which only wandered and played the "fret" sound. TOQ took that character from that game and implemented it into his series. The bird's design remained the same, but its mechanics were changed, and in the end, The Mocking Bird was created.
=== Regretevator ===
*Anastasia's "Pardon the intrusion" section of her event voiceline is a reference to another voiceline from a Roblox game called "Regretevator", in which the Announcer announces that the maximum elevator capacity has been reached.
