Trivia

• Thegear-selling shopkeepers all wear more than one of their type of gear.
  • Annie wears three pieces of headgear: glasses, headphones, and a hair accessory.
  • Jelonzo has four different potential shirts he can wear, switching between them daily.
  • Crusty Sean wears four pairs of shoes, with one shoe on each of his eight legs.
  • Fred Crumbs has four different potential pairs of shoes he can wear, switching between them daily.
• The four versions ofDJ Lee Fish'sLookin' Fresh played in Booyah Base reflect each store and its shopkeeper:
  • Ammo Knights' version is more distant, reflecting its separation from the others as aweapons shop. It also has static and other sounds reminiscent of a military radio, referencingSheldon's obsession with the military.
  • Cooler Heads' version has louder treble, i.e. vocals, and minimal percussion, giving it a weaker sound in that respect. This is a reflection of Annie's shy, detached personality, as well as the fact that she sells gear for the top part of the buyer's body, hence the emphasis on the treble.
  • Jelly Fresh's version is faded out except for the melody, the "center", because Jelonzo's gear goes on the middle part of the body. It also has many bubbly sound effects in the background, showing his bubbly and ecstatic personality as well as referencing his gelatinousspecies.
  • Shrimp Kicks' version has the bass turned all the way up and emphasizes percussion, matching how shoes are worn on the lower part of the body. Furthermore, the heavy beat gives it a bouncy sound, reflecting Crusty Sean and Fred Crumbs' outgoing personalities.
• According to a developer interview, Booyah Base was built on the land upon whichSheldon's home (and weapons shop) stood. However, it was not Sheldon but his grandfather,Ammoses Shellendorf, who owned the land.^[2]
• Sunken Scroll 18 inSplatoon describes an "Ultra-Mega-Hyper Sale" at Booyah Base.
