In the final battle sequence, as IOI's forces appear to be getting the upper-hand, Parzival reveals that he has another secret weapon, unleashing an angry Chucky doll on his enemies that goes berserk and takes out a number of the Sixers.

62. Mecha-Godzilla

After making some heady claims of his powers within The OASIS - and the seemingly endless artifacts and items he can use to cement his position - Nolan Sorrento's big reveal at the end of the final battle in the game comes in the shape of a Mecha-Godzilla that he pilots.

When the monster arrives, you can hear Akira Ifukube’s “Godzilla March” theme from Godzilla (1954). There's also a normal Godzilla in toy form in young Halliday's bedroom.

61. King Kong
