I got a few more; during the race there are gumballs rolling left and right in a sort of half-pipe. Maybe it's coincidence but it looks very similar to the scene with rolling colored balls in "Dragon's Lair".

Also, mr. Litwak wears a referee suit and when arcade opens in the morning he opens the door and says "welcome kids, you too little fellow", the last one being an adult. I'm not sure but maybe this is a reference to Walter Day and one of the guys from "King of Kong" movie or something?

And finally, when the movie ends after all the credits it shows the Disney logo and the screen glitches in the same way as Pac-Man at level 256.
