*OK KO has a ton more references for the Sonic page.
 
*The Drew Carey Show's image needs to be replaced with one showing the Saturn console they had on top of the TV.
 
*So the reason Wreck-It Ralph's section doesn't mention the ''[[Hang-On]]'' inspired full-body taikan stuff is because that's such a popular shape for that type of hardware that it needs mentioning elsewhere. Which brings me to: This article needs brief summaries on "generic references" to very popular Sega things... i.e. the Hang-On style of sit-down motorcycle cabinet was so popular and widespread that pretty much anytime you see a fictional arcade with "sit-down motorcycle games", they're almost always a Hang-On "reference" (at least through inspiration.) The Music references article will need the same thing. So short of listing every piece of media featuring Hang-On-like sit-down motorcycle cabs, we can keep it to a brief section with a few examples and maybe an inline image.

  • Sponsorships: Any officially-sponsored references, such as award shows or motorsports events, belong in Sponsorships.
  • Recurring references: Any commonly-recurring references, such as a character in a television series, only need their first appearance listed. Ensure to note that said reference is a recurring one.
  • Multi-game shows: Any television series which cover numerous games by different companies, like GameCenter CX, only need their first reference covered. Ensure to list any future references in the same listing.
