The vehicle also hovers during the time-traveling sequence, as the upgraded DeLorean does at the end of the first film.

 * The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS SS was driven by Julian, features the Midnight Club shaped rockets on the rear view and taking the flight mode was made by the DeLorean time machine.

Upon doing so, a lightning will strike the cable and the starrite appears. The hint for the level is "Timing is Everything! Get a charge at eighty-eight!"

 * The Cooper Van, with Bentley's time machine attached, functions similarly to the DeLorean time machine from the Back to the Future film series. As with the DeLorean, the van has to drive at a fast enough speed in order to time travel, although the van also needs an object from the same era the driver intends to travel to. The van also hovers during the time-traveling sequence, as the upgraded DeLorean does at the end of the first film.

 * In the tutorial level "Yosemite Zoo", a "Flux Capacitor" is seen.
 * In the start of the game, Yosemite Sam is carrying the comic book for Tales From Space. This is the same comic as the one held by Sherman Peabody, the farmer's son in Back to the Future, who mistook the DeLorean for a spaceship when Marty first arrived in 1955.
 * The theatrical poster for Back to the Future is seen briefly in the level "Bank of Samerica".

Taz says "Taz go party diving!", after which the Taz Catchers' van drives away quickly, the sound effect that is used for the DeLorean entering one time period from another (three bursts of energy), from the first experiment, at Twin Pines Mall, can be heard, often when dealing with electrical attacks and disappears, leaving a pair of fire trails behind and the license plate remains, spins around before falling down flat on the roadway, much like the DeLorean does when it travels through time.

Train Valley 2

 * The Jules Verne Train can be seen anywhere on the map.

Zero Time Dilemma

 * In the "Ambidex" fragment, Akane directly discusses the events of the first Back to the Future movie with Junpei and Carlos. She uses the movie and it's events to explain to Carlos about how his "SHIFT" works, the in-game ability that allows people to mentally travel across space-time. They (presumably for copyright reasons) refer to Marty as "M", and avoid using the actual name of the movie, or any of the other characters, despite discussing the story of the movie in detail.[3]
 * Akane, Junpei, and Carlos discuss the time travel mechanics of the movie, including what happened to the "M" from the changed 1985. Akane discusses how, in the event that the movie follows a single timeline theory, then "M-2" was essentially murdered by "M-1" when "M-1" overwrote "M-2's" memories and life with his own. In the event of a timeline based around a multi-world theory however, she theorizes that "M-2" and "M-1" must have essentially swapped places, with "M-2" ending up living in "M-1's" history. Akane tells Carlos that this is akin to how his own ability works.
