In Western City as depicted in this game there's an electronics store called Circuit Shack, that the player is required to visit in order to make Bulma build a scouter. On a shelf in this store can be seen a Game Boy Advance, while on another shelf there are six boxes that appear to be based on Super Nintendo game boxes.

- Super Metroid
- Secret of Mana
- Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
The original boxarts, for comparison, are:
