Videogames

Magic Knight Rayearth, an adventure RPG set in the first TV season, was released for the Sega Saturn. A Super Famicom role-playing game was also released.
There are also five other, less known video games based on the series: a Sega Pico title called Magic Knight Tanjou, two short RPGs for Game Boy, plus a raising sim and another RPG for Sega Game Gear. These were all exclusively released in Japan, except for the Saturn game, which saw a localized release in the US.

Media parodies and references

In an Archie Comics episode, Jughead went into a manga shop and met a manga fangirl who loved a manga called 'Tragic Knight Say Earth', an obvious parody of Magic Knight Rayearth.

In Excel Saga manga and TV series, Lord Il Palazzo bears a number of similarities in appearance and manner to the Magic Knights' antagonist, Zagato. His crown and clothing closely resemble Zagato's, as well as his lair and mysterious demeanor.Further Information
