## Trivia

* Various stores and advertisements of the brands can be seen throughout the various stages in the game, such as in Eagle City where almost every brand appears to have its own store or office. The sole exception to this is Purple Friends, who does not have a physical presence in any stage.
* Purple Friends is the only brand in the game to not have any models.
* Some brands' logos and marketing contain various references:
	+ XINOBI's name sounds similar to "shinobi", another term for ninja.
	+ 1080's name is likely from the term 1080, which is an incredibly difficult skateboarding trick where a skateboarder makes three full revolutions while airborne.
		- The brand might also be a reference to the 1998 Nintendo 64 game *1080° Snowboarding*.
	+ The shape of the Purple Friends' logo heavily resembles the logo of GungHo Online Entertainment, the developers of *Ninjala*.
