Seriously, are there any Indiana Jones references in the StarTropics series? Here are all the IJ references I can think of:
* Dr. Steve Jones is based on Dr. Indiana Jones. They are both doctors and archaeologists with "Jones" as their last names.
* Zoda looks similar to the antagonist of The Temple of Doom, Mola Ram.
* There are some rolling bowling balls in some dungeons of the original ST, which is a reference to the best-known scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark: the rolling boulder. Besides this, Indy and Mike also encountered several other booby traps.
* IJ and ST both explore history. ST shows several weapons that are now obsolete, even the yo-yo (a.k.a. Island Yo-yo, Island Star) was first invented as a weapon, similar to the whip, but weaker and cannot be used to swing across gaps and pits nor to grab hard-to-reach objects.
* Indy hates snakes, and snakes are a little tough in the ST series.
That's about all I can think of.

If you take off the Osteroid's head, it turns out to be exactly the same (Except the color).
