Melodii from Scratchin' Melodii is referred to with "they" pronouns throughout the game, and a gag in the Grase Poppin' stage shows them exiting a restroom with a quaver as a symbol. The game's creator LephemStar91 noted that, unlike characters such as Frisk from Undertale or Niko from OneShot, Melodii's gender is not up to the player's interpretation or a mystery, but rather explicitly non-binary:"Apparently Melodii's gender/lack-thereof has been a bit of a topic again. So just to publicly squash any and all misconceptions, Melodii is non-binary. It's not meant to be an "up to interpretation" sort of thing, Melodii's a character with their own identity."

During the Dragon Funk stage in Scratchin' Melodii, there is a sequence where Melodii and Pitaya battle in a manner resembling fighting games. These reference a variety of attacks from different video games and media properties that creator LJ Lephem Star is a fan of, including Pitaya frequently spinning into a ball like Sonic The Hedgehog, both Pitaya and Melodii briefly appearing in torn manga panels drawn in the art style of Dragon Ball and performing Kamehamehas, and several references to moves from Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2.

SpongeBob neutral air attacks (seen in Melodii's first attack, which also references the series' signature trait of hammerspace prop summons; this is followed by a kick resembling Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick in the Street Fighter series, though its placement after two NASB references may suggest it to instead be a reference to Hugh Neutron's parody of the kick in the first game):
