History Trivia / FusionFall

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Creator/HannaBarbera characters like Franchise/ScoobyDoo were off-limits due to them being owned by Warner Bros. Despite this, the Hani-Baba Temple is named after William Hanna and Joe Barbera, and their characters make cameos as etchings on various obelisks scattered across the world.

** Concept art for {{animesque}} versions of Adam of ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' and Andy from ''WesternAnimation/SquirrelBoy'' exist. They ultimately weren't added into the games.

* DuelingGames: Sorta. Considering that Cartoon Network is rivals with Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, compare the plot of this game to that of the fourth ''VideoGame/NicktoonsUnite'' game, ''Globs of Doom'' (which was released three months before ''[=FusionFall=]''). The most significant difference is that while the ''Nicktoons Unite'' games are single player console affairs, ''[=FusionFall=]'' was a MMO. Nick doesn't have their own Nicktoons MMO...''yet''.

** Eddy is voiced by Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor instead of Creator/TonySampson, due to Sampson retiring from voice acting prior to ''Fusionfall'''s development.

* ActorAllusion: In [[WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo Carl's]] ''Retro''-exclusive mission, he has you seeking out the voice of who he believes is the main star of his favorite series, ''[[Franchise/StarWars Space Wars]]''. This ends in you tracking down either [[WesternAnimation/TimeSquad Larry 3000]] or [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Stickybeard]], both of whom are voiced by Creator/MarkHamill.

** Related to ''Retro/Legacy'':
*** As the people working on ''Legacy'' have said multiple times, they have no official permission from Cartoon Network or anyone else to work on the game, so this was bound to happen eventually. They ended up getting a cease and desist from Creator/FreshTV for their use of [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Chris McLean]] and related characters and settings, and were forced to remove them from the game.
*** In April 2020, the devs [[https://twitter.com/FuFa_Universe/status/1250853242722037760 revealed]] [[https://twitter.com/FuFa_Universe/status/1250853243757965312 that]] Creator/CartoonNetwork had hit them with a DMCA takedown request, resulting in ''Retro'' getting shut down, ''Legacy'' being cancelled, and the team's fan projects, social media, and web services no longer being hosted.

** An example for ''Legacy'': ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' characters were planned, with Chris being shown off, before a claim from Creator/FreshTV requested that he and the ''TD'' universe be removed.
** Another one for the folks at ''Legacy'': they had a planned release date for when ''Retro'' was supposed to go online, but they encountered problems on the scheduled date and were forced to postpone.

** Aku is voiced by Greg Baldwin rather than Creator/{{Mako}}, [[AuthorExistenceFailure due to the latter's passing]]. Baldwin would go on to [[RoleReprise reprise the role]] in the [[SamuraiJack/TropesSeason5 revival]] of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' in 2017.

* RoleReprise: Almost every voice actor from the original shows [[note]]minus Creator/{{Mako}}, [[AuthorExistenceFailure for obvious reasons]] and Creator/TonySampson for reasons stated above[[/note]] reprise their roles for the game.

* CommonKnowledge: That there were intentions to bring in Bleedman (of ''WebComic/PowerpuffGirlsDoujinshi'' fame) for the game's development. However, the original design documents and the fact that only Bleedman has said this makes this claim highly unlikely.

* TheOtherDarrin: Aku is voiced by Greg Baldwin rather than Creator/{{Mako}}, [[AuthorExistenceFailure for understandable reasons]]. Amusingly, he later voiced the character in ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'''s fifth and final season.
