* This event is also reminiscent of the final missions of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'': [[The Maw]] and [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]], respectively. All three events involve escaping a Halo ring in a [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]] (in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s case, [[Installation 04]]; In ''Halo 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s case, [[Installation 08]]; and in ''Forza Horizon 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s case, a currently unidentified Halo ring).

* The tunnel run sequence is reminiscent of the ending of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' mission [[Outskirts]], which also involves John using an [[M12 Warthog]] to drive through the underground tunnels of [[New Mombasa]].
** The major differences between the two tunnel runs are that ''The Halo Experience Showcase'' features no combat and only nonstop driving, and that the ''Forza'' version has a much shorter tunnel run with only shallow S-bend turns and a ramp.
