The reuse of characters or items from a previous work in Easter Egg cameos in a newer one (similar to a fictional Production Posse or metafictional Continuity Cameo). In some cases, this lays down the basis of a Verse. If it's something the actor did rather than the production team, it's an Actor Allusion. If the work in question is an unreleased earlier version of the same work, it's a Development Gag. See also Company Cross References, which this trope often overlaps with. When this is done for works that haven't yet been released, it's Production Foreshadowing. |

Pale has a few references to the author's prior works: While Avery and Nora are Christmas shopping they make references to Worm and possibly Ward as a movie series. A jigsaw puzzle they pick out depicts a scene from Twig. Snowdrop meets a Lost named Fugly Bob on the Promenade. |

Multiple appear in Tubular Bells III, tying in with its celebration of the 25th anniversary of the original Tubular Bells: Samples from many of Oldfield's prior albums feature throughout Tubular Bells III: "Man in the Rain" features sampled drums from "Moonlight Shadow", "Outcast" features sampled drums from "Shadow on the Wall", and "Far Above the Clouds" features sampled drums from the end of "Ommadawn (Part One)". "Far Above the Clouds" also samples the rhythm guitar from the "Finale" section of "Tubular Bells (Part One)". "Man in the Rain" repeats the structure of "Moonlight Shadow" from his 1983 album Crises; the song was first penned shortly after "Moonlight Shadow", which explains the similarities. The song also reprises elements of the Title Track to Oldfield's 1991 album Heaven's Open, also an aftereffect of its prolonged development (as a 1987 demo of "Man in the Rain" was used as the basis for "Heaven's Open"). |

Occasionally done during Escape from Vault Disney! in reference to Some Jerk with a Camera episodes and other videos on Tony's YouTube channel: When they are disgusted at Sandra Bullock's character dipping an Oreo in milk her cat just drank in While You Were Sleeping, Kit speculates this is where the cat flu from Escape from Tomorrow started, something that was frequently mocked in Tony's review of the latter film. In the podcast discussing the Lesley Ann Warren episode of The Muppet Show, Tony says that since the episode contains a segment with a ballet based on Beauty and the Beast, he'll probably have to co-review it with Kyle Kallgren someday. In the High School Musical: The Musical: The Holiday Special episode, Chris wonders why this disposable special is on Disney Plus instead of the many better things that could be, leading to a reference to a recurring bit in Tony's "Top 15 Attractions That Closed in 2017 (And the First Couple Months of 2018)" State of the Parks video. Tony describes the escape scene on the Death Star in A New Hope as when "Luke lassos that thing, and the princess kisses him and they swing off together", a reference to this 70's commercial that was used in a couple of Tony's Star Wars-related vlogs to show how much discourse around the franchise has changed since the original movie's debut. |

MS Paint Adventures has jokes from earlier adventures in the same series as well as unrelated old webcomics by the same author. Thus, in Homestuck, you have allusions to pumpkins disappearing and retrieval of arms from the author's first experiments with the format. Much later on, a plot development where one character is thrown in jail is clearly imitating the style of Jailbreak, the first comic on the MSPA website. | |

The line "Do you remember me? How we used to be?" in the chorus of "Your Possible Pasts" quotes the line "Do you remember me? How we used to be helpless and happy and blind?" in "Incarceration of a Flower Child", a song that Roger Waters wrote shortly after Syd Barrett's ousting but never released; the piece would ultimately be given to Marianne Faithfull in 1999. | |

Disney does this quite a few times within their films: Jose Carioca, who appeared in Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros and Melody Time, cameos as a juror during Alice's trial in Alice in Wonderland. Sebastian is pulled out of a book Genie is flipping through in Aladdin, a Beast toy is also seen in the Sultan's collection, and Genie turns his head into Pinocchio's. Both Pumbaa and Belle cameo in the background of France during the 'Out There' sequence of The Hunchback of Notre Dame A tea set that looks remarkably similar to Mrs. Potts appears in a quick shot of Tarzan In Hercules Hercules wears a lion skin that looks like Scar from The Lion King (1994), likely referencing the scene where Zazu snidely tells Mufasa that Scar "would make a very handsome throw rug." In Zootopia, some the pirated movies Duke Weaselton is selling are animal versions of recent Disney animated hits: Wrangled, Wreck-It Rhino, and Pig Hero 6. He's also selling other Disney movies that are still in production, Floatzen 2, making it Production Foreshadowing as well. In Moana, one of the animals that shape-shifter Maui accidentally turns himself into is Sven. Frozen gives us Rapunzel and Eugene briefly appearing in "For the First Time in Forever" among the guests filing over the bridge for Elsa's coronation. |

While the game largely cut back on Square-Enix characters beyond the Moogles, one notable exception was made. As the devs for the Gummi sections were from the team that made Einhänder, that game's penultimate boss, Schwartzgeist, makes a return as the Gummi superboss, complete with its Clipped-Wing Angel form Monitor and a remix of Thermosphere. As an Easter Egg, if you find the hidden Endymion blueprint and fight Schwartzgeist with it, the original version of Thermosphere plays instead. | |

In The Simpsons, characters from Matt Groening's Life in Hell comic strip (usually Bongo) sometimes appear as stuffed toys. In the early 1990s ''Simpsons'' arcade game, they appeared as enemies in the Dream Land level (as well as every interstitial title screen). In Futurama, Bongo appears in a pet shop. |

Automatic for the People: Mike Mills and Bill Berry's backing vocals on "Find the River" hark back to a similar technique on "Harborcoat" nearly a decade prior, a similarity that Mills confirmed to be an intentional creative decision in an interview with Melody Maker. The verses of "Try Not to Breathe" reprise the melody and rhythm of "Swan Swan H". |

It's common practice to reuse musical themes and legendary weapon names in Fire Emblem in later installments in new contexts. Battle and boss themes from games early in the series reappear three or four games later as various arena, boss or fight themes. Legendary weapons also get reused, sometimes as the same weapon used by heroes in ages past and other times by inexplicably sharing a name with the weapons of another world's heroes. The three Regalia Weapons in the first game, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light originate from another continent hundreds of years prior in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and endure for thousands of years into Fire Emblem: Awakening. However, legendary weapons of the same names also appear in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, being used in heroic battles of the past, only to resurface in the modern day rusted out and embedded in the flesh of monsters. |

Ready Jet Go! uses a lot of Hey Arnold! stings and sound effects. In fact, one recurring character, Lillian, resembles a character seen in one of Craig Bartlett's claymation shorts he made for Sesame Street. | |

The first version of "Isn't It a Pity" reprises the ending melody of "Hey Jude" in a minor key, making it feel like a Dark Reprise. It's also just a second shorter than the earlier song. | |

The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, made by Vicarious Visions as a remake of the original Naughty Dog trilogy, contains a musical reference to the VV-made Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced in the fight with Dr. Nefarious Tropy in the remake of the third game. Near the beginning of his battle theme, three repeating notes get emphasized more than in the original - the same notes that were repeated throughout most of Tropy's battle theme in N-Tranced. | |

Appears frequently throughout Made in Heaven, tying in with that album's nature as the band's Grand Finale following the death of frontman Freddie Mercury four years prior. "Mother Love" samples Freddie Mercury's call-and-response chant from the band's 1986 Wembley Stadium concert (as documented in the 1992 Live Album Live at Wembley '86), with the synth string intro to "One Vision" playing in the background. The last lines of the song are additionally lifted from Mercury's 1973 solo cover of "Goin' Back", which was included as the B-side to Mercury's debut solo single (released under the pseudonym Larry Lurex), a rendition of the Ronettes' "I Can Hear Music". "I Was Born to Love You" samples Mercury's ad-libs from the Title Track to A Kind of Magic. "A Winter's Tale", recorded during the post-Innuendo sessions, has a subtle but charming one: "It's A Kind of Magic in the air". The breakdown in "It's a Beautiful Day (Reprise)" samples the piano riff from the closing track of both Queen and Queen II, "Seven Seas of Rhye". Mercury's interjection of "yeah!" in both "It's a Beautiful Day (Reprise)" and the aptly-titled "Yeah" is sampled from "Action This Day" |

The Next Day features copious amounts of it, partly because it was Bowie's first album since Reality ten years prior, partly to tie in with the thematic ruminations on his advancing age (being 66 when the album released). "Love is Lost" re-used puppets that had planned to be used for the filmed-but-unreleased Concept Video for "The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell". The remix of the same song also samples the piano lick from "Ashes to Ashes". The percussion on "Love is Lost" recreates the hollow drum sound that served as a crucial part of Low's sonic aesthetic. The lead single, "Where Are We Now?", references several Berlin landmarks (Potsdamer Platz, Nürnberger Straße, KaDeWe, etc.), nodding back to the trilogy of albums that Bowie recorded while residing in Berlin during the late '70s. In the video for "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)", one of the new neighbors looks and sometimes dresses like Thomas Jerome Newton/the Thin White Duke and the cover of one of the tabloid magazines uses Newton's alien form as an image◊ with the caption "Woman Goes To Oscars Without Makeup On". The penultimate track, "You Feel So Lonely You Could Die", ends with the opening drums from "Five Years". The director of the videos for "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" and "The Next Day" is Floria Sigismondi, who also did two of his Earthling-era videos: "Little Wonder" and "Dead Man Walking". The cover is a modified version of the cover of "Heroes", which has that album's title removed and a large portion of the picture of Bowie covered by a blank white square with this album's title on it. |

Similarly, Phineas and Ferb takes numerous background cues from other Disney shows scored by Danny Jacob as well as instrumental versions of songs such as Aloha Oe from Leroy & Stitch and Kronk for Hire from The Emperor's New School.

"Man in the Rain" repeats the structure of "Moonlight Shadow" from his 1983 album Crises; the song was first penned shortly after "Moonlight Shadow", which explains the similarities. The song also reprises elements of the Title Track to Oldfield's 1991 album Heaven's Open, also an aftereffect of its prolonged development (as a 1987 demo of "Man in the Rain" was used as the basis for "Heaven's Open"). | |

In the video for "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)", one of the new neighbors looks and sometimes dresses like Thomas Jerome Newton/the Thin White Duke and the cover of one of the tabloid magazines uses Newton's alien form as an image◊ with the caption "Woman Goes To Oscars Without Makeup On". | |

According to the artbook, Snake's long hair in the briefing sequence in Metal Gear Solid is supposed to be the same hairstyle as Jonathan from Policenauts. His Important Haircut is a joke signaling to the player that they should forget about Policenauts, because it's time for Metal Gear Solid now. | |

The arcade version of Double Dragon features the red sports car from Data East's Road Blaster inside Billy and Jimmy's garage, as well as a billboard advertising Nekketsu Koha Kunio-kun (the Japanese version of Renegade) just before the first boss battle. Both were games previously directed by Yoshihisa Kishimoto, the director of Double Dragon. In the arcade version of Double Dragon II, the helicopter from Cobra Command (Kishimoto's other FMV game he did for Data East) appears in the garage at the beginning as well. The WayForward-developed River City Girls has a reversed situation by incorporating various Double Dragon characters owned by Arc System Works, most notably the Lee brothers, Marian and Abobo, who are all clearly the Neon incarnations of them since WayForward developed that game. It even includes an appearance by its main villain Skullmageddon, still voiced by that game's director Sean Velasco. |

★: In some parts of the music video for "Lazarus", Bowie wears a striped jumpsuit identical to the one he was pictured in on the back cover of the Rykodisc CD reissue of Station to Station. The harmonica on the closing track "I Can't Give Everything Away" plays the same tune as the harmonica on "A New Career in a New Town" from Bowie's 1977 album Low; fans have also cited similarities to "Never Let Me Down", "Soul Love", and "Thursday's Child". The music also becomes more reminiscent of Bowie's old styles towards the end of the album. |

Beat: The album cover directly nods back to that of Discipline, replacing the Celtic knotwork with an eighth note. "Neal and Jack and Me" reprises the technique used on both "Frame by Frame" and "Discipline" where Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew's guitars weave in and out of sync with one another. The Frippertronics piece that forms the intro of "Neurotica" is directly lifted from "Hååden Two" off of Robert Fripp's debut solo album Exposure. |

Green: "Pop Song 89" reprises the lead riff of "Feeling Gravitys Pull" off of Fables of the Reconstruction, albeit in a major key and faster-paced this time around. "Turn You Inside-Out" is more or less a remake of "Finest Worksong" off of Document, just with the chord progression reversed; the lyrics also act as a thematic continuation. |

Queen: The cover art for A Day at the Races is a redrawn version of that for A Night at the Opera the previous year. Among other things, the white background is changed to black and the figures are in different poses (some more noticeable than others). Appears frequently throughout Made in Heaven, tying in with that album's nature as the band's Grand Finale following the death of frontman Freddie Mercury four years prior. "Mother Love" samples Freddie Mercury's call-and-response chant from the band's 1986 Wembley Stadium concert (as documented in the 1992 Live Album Live at Wembley '86), with the synth string intro to "One Vision" playing in the background. The last lines of the song are additionally lifted from Mercury's 1973 solo cover of "Goin' Back", which was included as the B-side to Mercury's debut solo single (released under the pseudonym Larry Lurex), a rendition of the Ronettes' "I Can Hear Music". "I Was Born to Love You" samples Mercury's ad-libs from the Title Track to A Kind of Magic. "A Winter's Tale", recorded during the post-Innuendo sessions, has a subtle but charming one: "It's A Kind of Magic in the air". The breakdown in "It's a Beautiful Day (Reprise)" samples the piano riff from the closing track of both Queen and Queen II, "Seven Seas of Rhye". Mercury's interjection of "yeah!" in both "It's a Beautiful Day (Reprise)" and the aptly-titled "Yeah" is sampled from "Action This Day" |

Kingdom Hearts III: While the game largely cut back on Square-Enix characters beyond the Moogles, one notable exception was made. As the devs for the Gummi sections were from the team that made Einhänder, that game's penultimate boss, Schwartzgeist, makes a return as the Gummi superboss, complete with its Clipped-Wing Angel form Monitor and a remix of Thermosphere. As an Easter Egg, if you find the hidden Endymion blueprint and fight Schwartzgeist with it, the original version of Thermosphere plays instead. The Game Within a Game Verum Rex is a pretty blatant knockoff of Final Fantasy XV, of which Kingdom Hearts series director Tetsuya Nomura was working on when it was still known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII. The main character is even named "Yozora", whose meaning is identical to "Noctis", "night sky". The endings of both the main game and Re Mind double down on the Versus XIII references, with the Secret Ending track "Secrets of the Night" having a Musical Nod to "Somnus" (both composed by Yoko Shimomura) and the Limitcut Episode ending being an almost-perfect shot-for-shot recreation of the opening of Versus XIII's 2011 trailer. |

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun often makes references to the author's other concurrent work, Ore-sama Teacher. Sakura's shelf in Episode 1 of the anime has a charm of Usa-chan from Ore-sama Teacher. While Sakura is diligently "studying" shoujo manga (after being jealous by how well Rei and Nozaki got along with their shoujo manga conversations), she can be heard muttering various tropes—"Ore-sama", "age difference", "cat and dog relationship", and "childhood friends"—that perfectly describes Mafuyu and Takaomi of Ore-sama Teacher. |

Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps): The back cover references the covers of Bowie's "Berlin Trilogy": Low, "Heroes" and Lodger, as well as the much earlier Aladdin Sane. Bowie's Pierrot getup on the front cover also harks back to the back cover of Space Oddity, which featured a Pierrot leading away an old woman among the cavalcade of surreal imagery on the back cover; the ending of the "Ashes to Ashes" video recreates this, albeit with the roles reversed. "Teenage Wildlife" prominently interpolates the Title Track to "Heroes". |

Outside the numerous Expys, Tama the turtle has a cameo, the famous "Naru Punch" makes a reappearance, and one of Motoko's sword techniques sees some use in Negima. In addition, several characters from Love Hina make reappearances in Negima. The creator also confirmed that the hotel at which the characters stay in (one of) Negima's Beach Episodes is the same one where Naru and Keitaro stayed. Akamatsu also confirmed that Nitta-sensei is the same Nitta-sensei from his first series, A.I. Love You. Not to mention that Negima's Big Bad Fate Averruncus is a rather obvious expy of Program Number 0. |

Mike Oldfield: "Foreign Affair" reprises the synth xylophone arpeggios from "Mount Teidi". Multiple appear in Tubular Bells III, tying in with its celebration of the 25th anniversary of the original Tubular Bells: Samples from many of Oldfield's prior albums feature throughout Tubular Bells III: "Man in the Rain" features sampled drums from "Moonlight Shadow", "Outcast" features sampled drums from "Shadow on the Wall", and "Far Above the Clouds" features sampled drums from the end of "Ommadawn (Part One)". "Far Above the Clouds" also samples the rhythm guitar from the "Finale" section of "Tubular Bells (Part One)". "Man in the Rain" repeats the structure of "Moonlight Shadow" from his 1983 album Crises; the song was first penned shortly after "Moonlight Shadow", which explains the similarities. The song also reprises elements of the Title Track to Oldfield's 1991 album Heaven's Open, also an aftereffect of its prolonged development (as a 1987 demo of "Man in the Rain" was used as the basis for "Heaven's Open"). |

Before creating Kingdom of Loathing, Team Asymmetric created a game called Krakrox the Barbarian. At least one item from that game appears in Kol, the Ring of Half-Assed Regeneration. And there's also an item that lets you play as Krakrox for a few adventures. And now Krakrox's Loincloth, "originally owned by the famous barbarian adventurer Krakrox," is part of the Seal Clubber's Legendary Regalia. |

The Matrix Resurrections has small nods to The Wachowskis' previous work. A sign for Corky's Massage can briefly be seen. Corky was one of the leads of the sisters' first film, Bound. A theater advertises a film starring Lito Rodriguez, an actor and one of the protagonists of Sense8. |

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes takes many of its sound effects and some background music from old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, with that studio being the spiritual predecessor to Cartoon Network's own production house. This is especially evident in the Vanity Plate, as the style and music used is a direct reference to the Hanna-Barbera vanity plates used by early Cartoon Network productions. | |

Accelerate: "Sing for the Submarine" name-checks "Feeling Gravitys Pull", "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)", and Around the Sun's "Electron Blue" and "High-Speed Train". The song also quotes phrases from "You Are the Everything", "World Leader Pretend", "Begin the Begin", "Beat a Drum", "I'll Take the Rain", and "Losing My Religion". The Title Track mentions a "cartoon escape hatch" in its chorus, nodding back to the use of "cartoon" as an arc word on Monster (itself a similarly loud and distorted-sounding album). The same song reprises melodic elements of the Monster track "Circus Envy", especially in the choruses. "Horse to Water" features the lines "Bantamweight with a mouth full of feathers/Don't you know that what comes around goes around," nodding back to the similar lines "I say that I'm a bantam lightweight/I say that I'm a phantom airplane/That never left the ground" in "Leave". |

In The Postman, Kevin Costner threatens someone with a spoon, a reference to Alan Rickman's famous line "Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon" from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves where Costner played Robin Hood. | |
