When Bart first gets the grappling hook and uses it, he will sometimes say he is like "Spider-Man in a Batman costume".
The boss at the end of the level is Nintendo character Donkey Kong (or maybe his grandfather, Cranky Kong, based on first appearance and game).
Somewhere in The Blood Room there is some graffiti saying The BFG, possibly a reference to the BFG 9000 weapon in Doom.
Also in the blood room there is a large vat with "Achtung! Blut!" on the side spewing green blood. This is a reference to Germany's often strict video game rating system.
There is also Fatality graffiti on the walls, used in Mortal Kombat games when the player successfully completes a finishing move called a Fatality.

The Mobbits are parodies of the Hobbits from The Lord of the Rings. Marge will sometimes refer to them as "hairy toddlers", a sort of pun on the fantasy character name Harry Potter from the titular book series.
One of the Mobbits sometimes says that he prefers Narnia, the fictional land of the C.S. LewisThe Chronicles Of Narnia book series. It's either the Rod or Todd Flanders Mobbit that says this, since C.S. Lewis is a Christian book author.
Some of the characters and their costumes are from Earthland Realms, an online game in the Simpsons universe which parodies online MMORPGs.
Upon entering the maze area, Marge notices the camera switching to overhead POV (point-of-view). Homer states that this is just like his favorite old sword-and-sorcery game, Dig Dug - which is neither a sword-and-sorcery game nor even set in overhead POV, at least not until the sequel, Dig Dug II.
He possibly meant The Tower of Druaga, a fantasy adventure game also made by Namco, or more likely Gauntlet by Atari Games, due to the similarity of how its "narrator" points out things like not shooting the food.
Sometimes, in the final part of the level where Homer, Marge, and the Mobbits confront the Dragon, Marge asks "Which one of you is gay again?"

In the background people can be heard yelling "We shall surrender like we've never surrendered before!" and "I have surrendered, therefore I am!". They are presumably Cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

The first part of the level is a reference to Call of Duty .
In the first cutscene, Homer states that he won't eat any sushi unless it's chocolate covered (and if there's no sushi in it). The only food in this level is sushi, and Homer still eats it.
At the beginning parts of the level, Homer will say how much he hates sushi when he eats it.

The Flying Boat has a figurehead resembling Hello Kitty.
The Flying Boat seen in this level is a reference to the Flying Airship - a recurring feature in the Final Fantasy series.
One of the lines said by the Comic Book Guy fire sumos is "Just a flesh would", a recycled line from Final Fantasy IX which is, in itself, a reference to the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The line is indicated as such with Comic Book Guy laughing at the fact the he is taking it from Final Fantasy IX and not Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The floating head talks to Homer and Lisa about the evil Rin Sha corporation this is probably a reference to the Shin-ra Company of Final Fantasy VII.
Defeated fire sumos sometimes say "Every light must fade, every heart returns to darkness", a line from Kingdom Hearts.
Upon noticing Matt's piles of money, Bart says that the creator is "like Richie Rich, except straight".
In order to open Matt Groening's mansion door, the player has to do a Simon-type memory game, using floor pads that each play a different note. The song successfully pieced together is none other than The Simpsons Theme, which plays as the door opens.
Homer can say that he has an urge to sit on a couch, or has an urge to send money to Danny Elfman, who composed the Simpsons theme.
Upon entering Matt's office, the Comic Book Guy points out the Evil Genius cliche as being "a rip-off of Lex Luthor," a constant adversary of Superman.
Matt introduces himself to the Simpsons by saying that "Your creator is TV's most beloved animation visionary!". Homer replies with "Seth MacFarlane!?"; Seth is the creator of rival cartoon sitcom Family Guy. During the battle between Bart, Homer and the many copies of Bender and Zoidberg Matt sometimes says that he wished he invented Family Guy.
Matt's mansion has Futurama-like transportation tubes running along the ceiling.
During the boss battle of the level, Homer and Bart will have to face several copies of Bender and Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama.
While creating these "warriors of the future" Matt says "Say hello to my little friends!", a famous line from Scarface.

During the level's opening cutscene, all 5 members of the Simpson family are seen walking up the drive. When the gameplay starts, only Bart and Homer are present. Marge and Lisa reappear after that fight with Matt Groening, but Maggie doesn't.

In the PlayStation2 version of the game, the Hii is called "I am", as in "I am He" (another way for God to say "that's me"). "I am" is the literal translation of Jehovah, God's original.
In the final battle, the music playing is The Scorpions' "Rock You Like a Hurricane" done in a Dance Dance Revolution-style remix.
When God is pleading Bart not to destroy his save games (on the ∞Mb memory card), he pleads "I'm on the final boss fight of Oblivion, I can't start again from the beginning!". The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has hundreds of hours of gameplay.
Bart calls God "Birkenstocks", a maker of sandals.
God says Planet Earth got a score of 96 on Meta-Metacritic.
