[edit] Cultural references

• There are many references to Tak and the Power of Juju, the video game, in posters around Ocean Shores and also in the forest, there are two places where you can see Tak, but he runs away.
• Also, in Roller Blade training, many of the moves reference Spongebob, including the Starfish, the Flying Squirrel, and the Kung Fu.
• When the robot eye blows up, it starts singing "daisy...daisy" and then it fades out. This is a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which Hal does the same thing.
