On a Street Fighter 6 developer Q&A stream, the team confirmed that the idea of having JP using Bartitsu (mistakenly referred to as Baritsu) was inspired by Sherlock Holmes. Said martial art's apparences in Holmes stories inspired the staff to create a character that fought using a cane.

This game features numerous references to other series developed by Sonic Team, primarily Sonic, NiGHTS into Dreams, and Samba de Amigo, with characters from Burning Rangers, Phantasy Star Online, and ChuChu Rocket! also being referenced. When asked if this was meant to imply that all these franchises existed in the same universe, Ian Flynn clarified that the events of the game are considered non-canon.

The main antagonist of the "Toyhunter" level, Zodick the Hellhog, is an obvious parody of Sega's mascot Sonic the Hedgehog. Not only are their names and designs similar, but Zodick attacks by rolling around the arena similar to Sonic's Spin Dash move, references Sonic's iconic finger wave pose, and drops rings whenever he is damaged. On top of that, defeating him reveals that he's actually a robot, with one of the scientists controlling him being voiced by then-Sonic voice actor Ryan Drummond.

Attachment The inclusion of Hugh Neutron in the game as DLC, particularly instead of his son and series main protagonist Jimmy Neutron, was a response to an ironic internet campaign to get the character in the game known as "Hugh Nation", led by Hugh voice actor Mark DeCarlo and YouTubers The Superverse and Uncle Al, following Hugh trending on Twitter due to memes related to the game's reveal. When Hugh performs his strafe taunt in the game, he can say the voice lines "Hello internet!", "Thank you internet!" and "Hugh Nation!", referencing this push. The showcase for Hugh's moveset, which was aired at EVO 2022, mentions Hugh being included as a "thank you" to the devoted NASB community.

The protagonist of Drill Dozer, Jill, is a heroic burglar who breaks into museums and fights against police officers. This detail is not mentioned in any of the game's US promotional materials, with a press release for the game simply calling Jill "not a bad girl" and claiming she destroys so many things because "she just has some issues", likely to avoid controversy.

Attachment Every single fighter intended for the base game of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, but not included in the reveal trailer, was leaked at some point

• April O'Neil, Ren & Stimpy, CatDog, Aang, Korra were revealed on a silhouetted box art provided to retailers and revealed on announcement day. April's silhouette was vague enough that some people mistook her other characters, such as Carly from iCarly and the live action version of Dora the Explorer from Dora & the Lost City of Gold, but most fans deduced that is was April ahead of the reveal.
• Ren & Stimpy's inclusion was further proven by the discovery of an ESRB rating for the game, mentioning moves known as "Log Toss" (referencing a fictional toy from their show) and "First Fart" (referencing an episode of their show)
• A model lineup featuring Garfield was discovered from an unknown source before launch, it was confirmed to be real following the official reveal of Ren & Stimpy, whose models lined up with those featured in the leak.
• Toph was leaked by a rogue developer along with the stage line-up and scribbled out images of Garfield and Shredder. Garfield was not identified, but some players did manage to identify Shredder.
• Garfield and Shredder, who were intended for base game but had to be delayed as free DLC, were found inside the game's code through datamining immediately after launch.

Attachment In the Iki Island expansion, there is a special God of War-themed armor set that can be obtained at the Shrine of Ash. At the shrine, there is a scroll containing a poem hinting at how to do so. Spoiler:The player must equip the Sakai Clan armor and perform the action for unsheathing their sword in front of the shrine to obtain it.

There is also an ash tree with a golden hand print planted near the shrine, a direct reference to the intro for God of War.

Laying along the base of the statue are piles of chains, these are a reference to the chains that hang from the hilts of one of Kratos signature weapons, The Blades of Chaos.

Attachment While most of the memes featured in Meme Run are well-known mainstream memes that were already quite storied by the time of the game's release, one meme included in the game is much more obscure - that being "Bigley", a mosquito-like parody of Ridley from the Metroid series meant to mock fierce fandom debates over whether the latter character was "too big" to feasibly include in the Super Smash Bros. franchise. This character was hugely popular within the Miiverse community, and was often considered a mascot for the community during its heyday, however, Meme Run and its sequel Bigley's Revenge were the only footprint Bigley managed to impart outside of the Miiverse community, with the meme being so obscure that its article was rejected from Know Your Meme.

There is a hidden questline in the game that is not trackable and only progressed by finding letters, each one a Key Item referred to as "A Family's Escape", hinting to where the next one would be. This questline follows a family that is fleeing the island of Tsushima who are leaving notes for an unaccounted family member named "Toku". Spoiler:The fate of the family and of Toku are left ambiguous by the quest's end.

Attachment In the release version of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, the stage Royal Woods Cemetery from The Loud House contained a hazard where tombstones would pop out of the ground, sending any character beneath them flying and remaining as a wall for a short while afterwards. In version 1.5.0, the update that added Rocko as a playable character, this hazard was removed from the game completely, making the stage into a flat floor, similar to Final Destination from the Super Smash Bros. series. The reasoning for this change is because the stage that was intended to serve as a Final Destination parallel, Harmonic Convergence from The Legend of Korra, was considered too long for use in competitive play, and was removed from this distinction in the same update.

The late Michael Berlyn, who created Bubsy, has claimed that the designer of Bubsy 2, Cyndi Kirkpatrick, vehemently hated Bubsy to the point of sticking pencils through the heads of rare promotional Bubsy dolls, hanging them from nooses and covering them in fake blood. Berlyn claimed this hatred affected the quality of the final game for him in that "the art wasn't quite right, the feeling wasn't quite right, and they did some weird things with the secondary characters, and the biplanes, you know, nothing really worked for me."

Attachment At one point in the game's development, SpongeBob's strong dash attack was intended to involve him running with scissors. This was vetoed by Nickelodeon, with community manager Thaddeus Crews suggesting that Nickelodeon may not have wanted a character many children view as a role model partaking in an easily-imitable dangerous activity. The scissors exist in the game files, attached to SpongeBob's model, but in an untextured form with no bones for snipping.

In the final game, SpongeBob's strong dash attack was a slip and fall based on a single frame from the episode "Krabs à la Mode" that became a meme.
