Spamton has an obsession with 1997, describing it as his favorite year. Additionally, Spamton occasionally mentions someone called Mike, whom he speaks of in a negative light. These may be references to due to Spamton's association with the phrase "BIG SHOT."Spamton consistently calls Dark Dollars "Kromer," which is likely a misspelling of "/" (plural: Kroner) and "" (plural: Kronor), the basic units of currency in Norway, Denmark and Sweden.The misspelling may also be a nod to Spamton's visual resemblance to Billy the Puppet from Saw, as Jigsaw's last name is Kramer.Spamton seems to have a mild fascination with Heaven and angels as indicated by some of his dialogue, although it is unclear what he, a Darkner, exactly believes these to be.Spamton mentions the made-up word "cungadero" twice. Its meaning is unclear, though it may have been derived from "chingadero," a Mexican swear word."A Ride around Town on Our Specil Cungadero" implies it may be some form of vehicle.As hinted by one of his battle dialogues, pressing F1 during Spamton's first battle summons a small Spamton angel that heals the SOUL for 50% HP. This only works once, and cannot be done in the middle of one of his attacks.This also works in the battle against Spamton NEO (even on the Snowgrave Route), healing the entire party.This keybind is set to right stick on the Switch and R3 on the PS4. Alternatively, F1 can still be used on console if a keyboard is connected.When defeated through violence, Spamton's post-battle dialogue hints towards the Snowgrave Route, mentioning "YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT EARLIER!" in regards to the party's violence, "AND BEEN THE FIRST TO OWN MY [Commemorative Ring]," referencing the Thorn Ring, an item only available on the Snowgrave Route which is purchased from Spamton.To the right of the dumpster where Spamton is first encountered, there is a torn "Queen Clean!" poster, with another poster behind it displaying what appears to be Spamton's likeness, but without the glasses. Interacting with the poster reveals that it reads "Big Shot Auto Sales!" implying that at some point Spamton was a car salesman, either as the face of a company or running his own.A black telephone set in the back of Spamton's shop heavily resembles the sprite for the same telephones seen in EarthBound, which the protagonist, Ness, uses to call his father throughout the game. Its appearance in Spamton's shop is likely one of many simple references to EarthBound, one of Toby Fox's favorite games.Spamton's constantly fluctuating wares price appears to be a parody of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.Spamton's "KNIGHT" dialogue ("TOO MANY EXCESS VACATION DAYS?? TAKE A GOD DAMN VACATION STRAIGHT TO HELL") references 's "Threaten" dialog from Undertale's ("I can't go to hell. I'm all out of vacation days.").Selecting OUR DEAL again when the party already has the KeyGen makes Spamton's face flash a rainbow hue, and the usual background music is replaced with "KEYGEN." This is a reference to the YouTube Poop in which from runs a keygen for Sony Vegas, at which point he begins rapidly flashing colours, albeit much more violently than Spamton. The Deltarune song "KEYGEN" even sounds similar to the keygen music that plays in the background of the video ( by Kenet & Rez), mimicking the opening few seconds of the song.The final offer for transferring Spamton's code onto the EmptyDisk is a reference to programs that downloaded usually unwanted software onto a computer while hiding the option to refuse said software in hard-to-see places, hence the big "TRANSFER" and small "DO NOT" respectively.When travelling through the basement, in the room with the teacup ride, a grinning face can briefly be seen in the darkness before disappearing. The face bears the same eye colors as Spamton's glasses, but Spamton himself cannot be present at the time due to still being at his shop in the Trash Zone.Spamton's element seems to be CAT. In the game's code, Spamton NEO's attacks are all set to the element with ID 6, the same element ID assigned to 's Yarn Balls and Meow Wow attacks and 's Whip and Quiz attacks. This is why the , Dealmaker, and Frayed Bowtie reduce damage from all three enemies. Interestingly, Spamton's old room in the Mansion was reassigned to .In the Spamton NEO fight, his glasses' colors are flipped.Spamton NEO's torso armor and wings seem to make up the shape of the , which appears frequently in both Undertale and Deltarune.Spamton NEO's check text parallels error text used in : Time to wake up and smell the pain.Spamton NEO has the highest HP out of all of the Chapter 2 enemies, with GIGA Queen having the second highest, 4500. He also has the highest AT out of all of the Chapter 2 enemies, which goes even higher if enraged, making him the only enemy who is capable of dealing more than 100 damage in a hit.One of Spamton NEO's flavor texts, "It pulls the strings and makes them ring," may be one of the spoken in "BIG SHOT."If a party member is downed when the Spamton NEO battle ends, their negative HP remains outside battle, even persisting into the overworld. (This differs from the normal system where downed party members are restored to 1 HP upon exiting battle.) Should the party enter another encounter while in this negative HP state, this can cause glitches with party members' actions and turns, particularly Kris's.When defeating Spamton NEO through violence in the Normal Route, he says "YOU THINK DEPLETING MY [8000 LIFE POINTS]," a reference to the Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game, in which each player starts with 8000 Life Points. Despite this, Spamton only has 4809 HP.When backtracking to Cyber City after reaching the Mansion, the before the first crossing mentions that they repeatedly petitioned for a public merry-go-round, but "some ex-famous guy" of a "salesman-lobbyist-type" stopped it from being built because he was afraid of clowns. This likely refers to Spamton.Spamton's implied Hometown equivalent can be found in the form of the computer nearest to the recycling bin. If Spamton NEO is encountered at any point, this computer crashes with a blue screen. If Spamton NEO is not encountered, it only says that someone tried to check their email but the Internet is down.The nearby recycling bin is filled with spam email printouts, possibly representing Spamton's shop in the Trash Zone.The use of Mad Dummy's leitmotif and soundfont in "BIG SHOT" may be a reference to the fact that Spamton (especially Spamton NEO) is both Mad (in both senses of the word, "crazed" and "angry") and resembles a ventriloquist dummy.The Japanese name for "BIG SHOT" is "Power of [[BIG]]," a direct reference to the name of Mettaton NEO's theme, "Power of NEO"."NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A" and "BIG SHOT" both sample the "Wow!" sound effect that plays in EarthBound after naming the party and pressing start. "NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A" also samples Vile's theme from Mega Man X and Boris' Cocktail from Earthbound's OST.Jevil and Spamton NEO, as hidden bosses, have several similarities.Jevil became insane after meeting an unknown person, and Spamton became successful after a phone call from an unknown person.Both battles have "The air crackles with freedom" as flavor text.Seam says that thinking on Jevil's words makes their thoughts "yet darker." An Addison states that when he picked up Spamton's phone "it was nothing but garbage noise." "Yet darker" is a quote from 's Entry 17 in Undertale, while "garbage noise" is the in-game description of mus_smile, the sound that plays when trying to use the Cell Phone in a Dark World in Deltarune, when looking at Entry 17 in Undertale, as well as in front of the bunker in Deltarune.Spamton mentions a "clown" multiple times, whom he seems to despise and envy, which may be a reference to Jevil.Like Jevil, Spamton has several voice clips, though they're exclusively present in his songs.Spamton has many similarities to from Undertale.Both characters use the suffix "-ton" in their names.The dress that the Spamton-shaped mannequin in Cyber City wears is identical to Mettaton's dress during his parody of Final Fantasy VI's opera performance.The machine has a strong resemblance to Mettaton NEO, which is (a version of) Mettaton's dream body in Undertale, with the main difference being a much more sharp and garish look. Spamton NEO additionally namedrops Mettaton NEO's battle theme, "Power of "NEO"," just before his strongest attack.Defeating Spamton NEO violently in a normal route prompts him to try becoming "Spamton EX," referencing Mettaton's other advanced form in Undertale, Mettaton EX.Both the Spamton NEO and Mettaton EX battles use their hearts as attacks that can be dealt damage to, as well as smaller versions of themselves and bombs that explode in a Bomberman-style cross pattern as projectiles (the two's bomb attacks even use identical sprites). Both also put the SOUL in the Yellow SOUL Mode.Spamton's constant head movement is done in a manner similar to Mettaton EX's constant pose changes.During Spamton NEO's final attack, the words "WRECK," "PAUSE," and "SPEW" can be seen in the bottom left corner of the screen, referencing Mettaton EX's "REC" and "REW" mechanics. Prior to version v1.08, these words only appeared on the Snowgrave Route, and PAUSE did not appear at all.It is implied that the Lightner whose hopes and dreams became the machine used in Spamton's NEO form is Mettaton. A ghost who lives with (implied to be Mettaton) describes themselves as a "nobody.""BIG SHOT," Spamton NEO's boss song, contains leitmotifs from and 's (who's a cousin to Mettaton) themes.The flavor text lines, "The stage lights are shattered." and "He is his own worst invention." are likely references to the lines "Stage lights are blaring." and "Dr. Alphys's greatest invention." from Mettaton NEO's fight, as well.Not only Mettaton is referenced in Spamton, but as well assigned to in some similarities:Their death animation (and to extent, snapping the last string one too) references Photoshop Flowey's return to their normal form, like Spamton does.This is an exception to Snowgrave Route.Vines on him themselves after this references Flowey, who had the main characters snapped out by vines during the reunion scene.Digital Roots references Your Best Nightmare leitmotif, where Spamton's new body could be applied at them, like Flowey after getting SOULs as power for new form (thus having You Idiot playing during there), but they transfer themselves by disc for upgrading to new form.That does aswell reference the steps to upgrade to new systems, used to be the ancient times during that happening there.Spamton can take the SOUL unlike Flowey tried to do without having the protagonist to ACT. That does set him being apart from the rest of Deltarune.Spamton's claim about NEO "never losing" and that it is "famous for its high defense" (and his Bluelight Specil, which greatly boosts it) may be an ironic reference to Mettaton NEO, who is known for having extremely low defense at a point where he's instantly defeated in one hit, regardless of how strong it is.Even more ironically, Spamton NEO has a negative defense stat on the Snowgrave Route before he activates his Bluelight Specil. However, this is only so that Kris isn't at an unfair disadvantage when they fight against Spamton alone.In the Japanese version of the game, Spamton's speech quirk mixes kanji, hiragana, katakana, and roman text. He also produces several puns based around the concept of death.Spamton replaces all instances of "desu" (です) and "dai" (だい) with the English words "death" and "die," rendered in Roman text.Spamton formats the first-person pronoun "watakushi" as "ワタ94," a pun playing on possible pronunciations for the numbers nine and four in Japanese; the latter specifically uses a pronunciation that acts as a homophone for "shi" (死), the Japanese word for death. This homophone has led to the number four being traditionally regarded as unlucky in Japanese culture, being invoked similarly to the numbers 13 and 666 in Christocentric societies.On the Snowgrave Route, the "WRECK" and "PAUSE" icons associated with his [Power of NEO] attack use the non-standard translations "殺エイ中" and "テイ死", respectively ("record" and "rewind" are typically translated as "撮影中" and "ていし"). The former uses an alternate reading of the kanji for "kill," while the latter incorporates the kanji for "death." Oddly, there is no similar pun for the "SPEW" icon in Japanese.Spamton NEO's line "ARE YOU READY [Kids]!?" after being violently defeated by Kris, Susie, and Ralsei could be a reference to the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song, whose first line ("Are you ready, kids?") is spoken by Painty the Pirate.Spamton NEO's "Bluelight Specil" is a reference to the department store chain's Blue Light Special sales promotions, where sales on items would be announced spontaneously over loudspeaker and accompanied by a flashing blue light.
