Trivia

 * Deep Cut's announcement dialogue suggests that none of them have concrete proof for the teams they represent ; this is most likely because this splatfest is being held the same date of April Fool's Day.
 * In the announcement dialogue, all three idols make their claims based on in-game characters and events.
 * Frye references The Crater and the Octobot King L3.Gs, suggesting this Splatfest takes place after the events of Return of the Mammalians.
 * The long, thin creature "slithering out from the water" that Shiver mentions is likely a Horrorboros.
 * Big Man's dialogue about a large footprint in the snow and subsequent large shadow could be referencing the Fuzzy Octarians or Mr. Grizz in Alterna, where fake snow is present.
 * This is the first Splatoon 3 Splatfest that features Inkopolis as a second hub, fully decorated and with the Squid Sisters performing.
 * This is also the first Splatfest to have a new song, Liquid Sunshine, by the Squid Sisters featuring Ian BGM.
