There are no scenes of parody or pastiche that I could find in Wreck It Ralph.
2. BRICOLAGE, INTERTEXTUALITY (TRON?)
There is a lot of intertextuality in wreck it Ralph. In this scene you can see how bad guys from lots of games have been included here. There is Bowser from Mario, Eggman from Sonic and a ghost from PacMan. When showing the bad guys, you see more of the recognisable characters than the ones created for the film.

Sugar Rush is a racing game, made to look feminine and youthful:
Fix it Felix is the main game in the film and is very retro and old fashioned:
4. NOSTALGIA & RETRO
When the bad guys are leaving the meeting you see them all walking through the pacman game, this looks retro and could give a nostalgic feeling:
