Appearances
- Email sb email 22 — Strong Bad hums the music from the original Donkey Kong in his introduction.

- Email stunt double — The Kiddie Pool is labeled as a Pie Factory in its second appearance. This is also seen in monument.
- In the DVD commentary, the Brothers Chaps describe the Pie Factory as the fourth level of the game. This is correct in the sense that it is the fourth stage to appear in the American arcade version, although it is only the third unique one (stage three is a repeat of the first stage, only slightly harder). In the Japanese version, whose level ordering was used in most ports and remakes in all regions, it is the second stage.

- Email retirement — The way Strong Bad scrambles back and forth under the Lappy 486 is likely a reference to Donkey Kong 3.
- 8-Bit is Enough — Marzipan is turned into Lady Crate Ape, a parody of Donkey Kong, while Bubs' Concession Stand resembles the 25m construction site from the original game. Furthering the parody, Marzi-Kong causes the girders to collapse and also throws crates (similar to Donkey Kong's barrels and springs).
