Trivia

 * "Booyah Base" is a play on the word "bouillabaisse," a type of fish stew.
 * Booyah Base draws inspiration from Shibuya, a Japanese city.
 * "Ammo Knights" is a play on the word "ammonite," which is an extinct type of marine mollusk.
 * Jelly Fresh is a play on the word jellyfish.
 * The word "Ebisu" in the store's Japanese name seems to come from the Japanese god of fishermen and luck, Ebisu.
 * When the player switches between shops with ZL and ZR, the shop they switched to will shake, and the merchants will react to this.
 * The background music of the Booyah Base will change depending on which store the player is in.
 * If the player is in Cooler Heads, the melody of the music will become louder than the rest of the music. This is because the store's merchandise corresponds with the upper part of the Inkling's body.
 * If the player is in Jelly Fresh, the percussion pieces of the music will become more audible. This corresponds with the store selling clothing, which is the middle part of an Inkling's body.
 * If the player is in Shrimp Kicks, the bassline will become more audible. This is because the store's merchandise corresponds with the bottom part of an Inkling's body.
