When Monica is not found, West says, "Princess is in another castle." This is a reference to the Super Mario Bros. video game: whenever Mario finishes exploring a castle in search of Princess Peach, Toad, a mushroom-like character, greets him with, "Thank you Mario, but our princess is in another castle!"

Saving Charlie
When Charlie says that she cries at the sight of goats because of the loss of a childhood dream, Hiro says, "I feel the same way about Super Nintendo.
