Trivia
- A bug at the beginning of the Phestival assigned players to a different team than the one they had chosen. Due to this, Darkheart was temporarily given the ability to reset a player's Phestival team once, allowing them to choose again.
- Ice Cream vs. Popsicle featured one of the highest differences in popularity out of all Phestivals in the game's history, only second to Sun vs. Moon.
- This was the second Phestival in a row to introduce a rework of Space Knights, as Violets vs. Roses did as well.
- "TTYL" and "TAKE YOUR TIME" were released before the Phestival, but used Ice Cream vs. Popsicle promotional images for their YouTube thumbnails.
- While this Phestival was the first to feature unique designs for Dom and Valk, unique designs were also seen in promotional art for the previous Phestival, Violets vs. Roses, though they did not appear in-game.
