Cultural references

• The Biker Bones skin is based off of a meme in the Bloons community where Striker Jones is referred to as Biker Bones, using the emoji for the B blood type (🅱️) to substitute for the "B"s in his name. This meme originated from when Jones was considered one of the worst heroes to use and was mockingly called Biker Bones, the same way Peter Griffin from Family Guy is sometimes called Beter Briffin by memers.
  • The skin is also a reference to Ghost Rider from Marvel Comics, being a skeletal biker with flames, and a spirit of vengeance.
• The Octojones skin resembles Davy Jones from the Disney series Pirates of the Caribbean, but the skin is not named "Davy Jones" due to copyright reasons.
• The character description for the Octojones skin, which reads, "I am the sea" also references a line by the Disney character Davy Jones.
• The line: "I love the smell of bubble wrap in the morning" might be a reference to one of the lines of Soldier from Team Fortress 2 while doing the Fresh Brewed Victory taunt: "I love the smell of a kicked (bad word) in the morning". In turn, this could be a reference to the line, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning," from the 1979 war film Apocalypse Now.
