- The Extreme Ghostbusters reference
When you are in the firehouse, go down by the containment unit. Look on one of the work desks to see a circular ghost trap that was used in the late 1990's cartoon called The Extreme Ghostbusters.

- Fan fiction reference
Go upstairs at Ghostbusters headquarters. You can find a drawing by a child on pink paper hanging near some electrical equipment. The text 'To Uncle Egon, from Ed.' appears on it. This is a reference to the fan fiction Ghostbusters videos 'Freddy vs. Ghostbusters' and 'The Return Of The Ghostbusters' which features Egon's nephew Ed Spengler.

- Spanish headlines
In the firehouse after the 'Shador Island' level, there are Spanish newspapers scattered all over. The headline reads 'Un Cubano En El Cosmos', which means 'A Cuban in Space'.

- The Real Ghostbusters reference
In the basement, on the far work station there is a PKE meter modeled after the one from The Real Ghostbusters.

- NES Ghostbusters reference
Look at one of the monitors on a desk upstairs at the Ghostbusters' headquarters. You can see the ending screen from Ghostbusters on the NES.

- Ghostbusters reference
When you are in the hotel ballroom with Slimer, press [Action] by the piano to sometimes hear the same notes that Peter played in Dana's apartment in the first movie.
