'''''Mystery Dungeon''''' references to other media.

==Dragon Quest==
* Numerous details show connections between the mainline ''Dragon Quest'' series and its ''Mystery Dungeon'' crossover.
** In {{Torneko1Title}}'s introduction, the main location of ''Dragon Quest IV'', along with Torneko and his family, are shown in the game's NES release.
** In {{Torneko2PS1Title}}'s English website, Torneko mentions The King as a distant relative of the Tsar of Zamoksva, who is Alena's father in ''Dragon Quest IV''.

==Shiren==
* {{Shiren|Kechi the Masseur}} is based on Zatoichi, a Japanese fictional character who travels the land making money by playing dice and giving massages. He is, however, a very highly skilled swordsman.<ref name=":0">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zatoichi</ref>
* The Stumble Trap description in the English release of {{Shiren3WiiTitle}} references Rick Astley's song ''"Never Gonna Give You Up"''.

* The English version of {{Shiren5VitaTitle}} references multiple media:

==Pokémon==
* When first meeting {{PkmnC|Swanna}} in the English version of {{GatesToInfinityTitle}}, she says "You can call me Swanna if you want. Just don't call me maybe.", which is a reference to Carly Rae Jepsen's song, ''"Call Me Maybe"''.

==Etrian Odyssey==
