* TheCameo:
** All ''C2'' characters have as palette 12 the colors of their counterparts in the game, usually being their clones colors, or in the case of the clones in the fangame (Ice, Butch and Sarge) they have colors of their original counterparts (Frosty, Tiny and Hoppy.)
** N.Boss continues with projectiles from other [=ClayFighters=], but it can be seen balls from characters that aren't in the game, like the ''C1'' projectiles of Ickybod Clay and Bad Mr. Frosty and even some from ''C2'' and ''63⅓'' that aren't present yet.

''[=ClayFighter=]: Infinite Clayfare'' is a {{fangame}} based on ''Videogame/ClayFighter'' series using the fighting engine ''VideoGame/{{MUGEN}}''. The fangame was made by Basara-kun, the creator of ''VideoGame/AntiGoukiProject'' who also made various [=ClayFighter=] characters for this engine. The fangame combines content like characters and stages from all the games of the franchise, since the first SNES and Genesis game to ''[[CapcomSequelStagnation Sculptor's Cut]]'' and even including Kung Fu Man (''M.U.G.E.N'''s SeriesMascot) as a GuestFighter, all with a gameplay based on ''[=ClayFighter=] 63⅓'' for the Usefulnotes/Nintendo64, including the [[VideoGame/KillerInstinct combo system]] and the [[Franchise/MortalKombat Claytalities]]. The fangame was created in 2022, getting a playable Beta 1 in December 24th with 15 characters and 18 stages, and a Beta 2 was released in 2023 on August 18th with some updates and new characters to the roster.

** This fangame works as this for the series, updating the events of ''63⅓'' and ''Sculptor's Cut'' events and adding the lore of the first UsefulNotes/{{SNES}} games.
** Also for characters, who received the ''63⅓'' treatment in the case of the characters from ''C1'' and ''C2'', and even new moves for the ones from N64 games.
*** The most benefited character was [[OrganAutonomy High Five]], who was a PerpetualBeta character in ''Sculptor's Cut'', but was converted into a complete character by Basara-kun (called as the "Arrange ver."), with all the lacking content added (like throws and more punches and kicks), variations of his moves, new supers, the ''63⅓'' combo system and Claytalities.
** Having no story in the first game, N.Boss will have a story this time, here being another clone recreated by Dr. Kiln and made as one of his main {{mook}}s like Sumo Santa and Lockjaw Pooch.
* ArtStyleClash: Being the GuestFighter of this fangame, Kung Fu Man looks dissonant compared to the rest of the characters, since he's 2D pixel sprited. It was stated by the creator that if he was made in {{Claymation}} as the rest of [=ClayFighters=], he would probably use that version. However, exclusive sprites were made for KFM to be compatible with Claytalities as the rest of the characters.
* AscendedExtra: Being one of the normal characters in ''Sculptor's Cut'' (and TheCameo in ''63⅓''), Lockjaw Pooch will become one of the sub-bosses of the fangame.
* AscendedMeme: There're 2 characters that were AprilFoolsDay characters that eventually will be part of this fangame as legit characters.
** In 2019, Basara-kun [[BlatantLies claimed]] that he had a copy of ''[=ClayFighter=] Extreme'', the leaked beta for Usefulnotes/PlayStation and made {{Hobo|s}}Cop using "rips" from there, when he really used ripped the "sprites" from gaming magazines and some gameplay videos. When ''Extreme'' got leaked to the Internet and [[https://www.spriters-resource.com/playstation/clayfighterextremeprototype/sheet/152810/ his sprites were finally ripped for real]], he stated that [=HoboCop=] will be remade using those sprites and he will be part of the fangame in a close future.
** For 2023, he made his own version of N.Boss, the FinalBoss of the first game and ''Tournament Edition'' as a LethalJokeCharacter, even having his own Claytalities. It was so well received that N.Boss became a legal character and now is part of Beta 2 as a boss as Sumo Santa.

** [[AllThereInTheManual Stated in the story]], various of the returning fighters from ''C2'' and some from ''C1'' are clones made by [[BigBad Dr. Kiln]] to get more {{mook}}s under his command, especially the EvilTwin chars Ice, Butch and Sarge from ''C2'' and N.Boss from ''C1''.
** Various characters are planned for future updates as EX versions of some characters, like ''Extreme''[[note]]Based on ''CF Extreme'' exclusive sprites with new moves[[/note]] Bad Mr. Frosty and ''C1'' Bonker, which eventually will be clones at the service of Dr. Kiln.
** Averted with Blue Suede Goo, Helga and Tiny, who're the only returning characters that came back for real and not being clones as the others.
* CombatCommentator: As in ''63⅓'', Michael Buffer comes back as TheNarrator in-game for the characters and the lifebars.

* ContinuityNod:
** The story continue the events of ''63⅓'', expanding the lore with part of ''C1'' and ''C2'' backstory.
** Characters that are rivals, enemies or friends in story, have special intros vs. when they fight each other.
** BattleCouple: Based on ''C1'' endings, Helga and Tiny appear together as a couple in this fangame.
** The story mentions Clayland (''C1'') and Mudville (''C2'') where past clay meteorites arrived on Earth.
* DemotedToDragon: N.Boss [[TheBusCameBack has come back]], but now he's one of {{the dragon}}s of Dr. Kiln along with [[BadSanta Sumo Santa]] and [[CanineCompanion Lockjaw Pooch]], being now a SubBoss.
* DemotedToExtra: Being one of the [[SubBoss sub-bosses]] and {{secret character}}s of the N64 games, VideoGame/{{Boogerman}} now appears as one of the normal fighters and being selectable since the beginning.
* FinishingMove: The "[[Franchise/MortalKombat Claytalities]]" as in the N64 games. Also, some of the characters have new finishes apart of the known ones[[note]][[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe Cut in half]], [[MegatonPunch launch from the screen]], [[SquashedFlat squish]] and [[ToonPhysics squeeze]][[/note]], like being stuck in ground with a punch ([[DumbMuscle Butch]]) and being frozen ([[AnIcePerson Ice]].)
* GuestFighter: Apart of VideoGame/EarthwormJim and Videogame/{{Boogerman}} who were already guest fighters in N64 games, here appears [[Characters/{{MUGEN}} Kung Fu Man]] as the exclusive guest fighter for this fangame, continuing his story about [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle the neverending search of his girlfriend]], who leads him to Klaymodo Island and the events of this fangame. [[spoiler:There's also hinted that one of the secret DLC characters also is another guest fighter for the game.]]
* MirrorMatch: Tiny and Butch, the only rivals who use the same sprites instead of the other two clones, where ''C2'''s Ice and Sarge has to fight ''63⅓'' versions of Bad Mr. Frosty and (T-)Hoppy respectively. Also is planned an EX Frosty that will use discarded sprites from ''Extreme'' with new moves.
* MythologyGag: Although is based on ''63⅓'', the game references the past games into this one being a cohesive story, seen in things like the intros in-game between characters from diferent games that have some connection, like ''C2'' Ice having one vs. ''63⅓'' Bad Mr. Frosty, for example.
* PunBasedTitle: Based on the name of the cancelled port for NDS and Wii, ''[=ClayFighter=]: [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Call of Putty]]'', the game title was also based on this series, specifically on ''VideoGame/CallofDutyInfiniteWarfare''.
* {{Retraux}}: The fangame's screenpack was made based on ''CF'' past titles and on SNES games, giving the atmosphere of a FightingGame from TheNineties.
* StoryReset: The fangame stated ''63⅓'' as the base for the story, making event changes from ''Sculptor's Cut'', like Sumo Santa and Ickybod Clay being neutral or T-Hoppy being {{brainwashed|AndCrazy}} and [[FaceHeelTurn evil]], as RetGone.
* StylisticSuck: The trailers made for the fangame have UsefulNotes/MSPaint screens with handmade white letters in a black background, that show gameplays for their characters. Also, the trailer 2 has the ''Sculptor's Cut'' intro song with a lowered pitch for a unsetting effect.
