Games that do homage to other games

I've been playing Celeste, which is a really punishing but really beautiful indie platformer.

In chapter 4, you see one of the white blocks from Super Mario Bros 3, like the one you duck through to go into the background and get the first whistle. And when you duck on it for three seconds, you go into the background. You don't need to do this to win the game but it gets you one of the reward items.

I love seeing references like this.

What are some other games that make homage to other games?
