Trivia
- The Eel-Cake Hat may have been inspired bygarden eels, which stick their heads out of burrows in the sea floor. The hat's Japanese name more specifically refers to thespotted garden eel.
- Despite being a limited item not available inHeadspace, the Eel-Cake Hat can still be ordered fromMurch. This functionality is shared with the other headgear fromFrostyFest, theFestive Party Cone,New Year's Glasses DX, andTwisty Headband.
- Based on itsSplatNet 2 price, it can be deduced that the normal price of the Eel-Cake Hat would be 8,200 if it were purchasable fromHeadspace rather than obtained from the Nintendo Switch news channel.
- Asimilarly themed hat can also be found inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons.
