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. Additionally, in the results dialogue, Shiver says it was "a big Salmonid".
 * 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 was the first Splatoon 3 Splatfest that features Inkopolis as a second hub, fully decorated and with the Squid Sisters performing.
 * This was also the first Splatfest to have a new song, Liquid Sunshine, by the Squid Sisters featuring Ian BGM.
 * This was the first Splatfest where Shiver is in first place in the Halftime Report.
 * This was the first Splatoon 3 Splatfest where the most popular team did not win.
 * This was also the first Splatfest to take place after point values for popularity were decreased in Version 3.1.0, however, the outcome would still have been the same had this not have been the case.
 * Team Bigfoot is the least popular team across all Splatfests, only receiving 8.69% of player votes.
