In the Japanese Saturn port of the game, it is possible to play as Pepsiman, the mascot for the Pepsi Company in Japan, by losing the first match in Arcade Mode. Then the player must defeat him to unlock him as a playable character.

In addition, the Pepsi brand can be seen advertised during the game's second attract mode with Tokio, on Picky's skateboard, and on both a truck and a billboard in Picky's Diner stage. However, they are not present in the US and PAL versions of the game as the Pepsi advertising was instead replaced with generic advertising.
