Jewel Ghoul's boss fight opens with him striking a pose where he holds one hand in front of his chest and points the other at the viewer while leaning back. This plus his outfit – a bright, colorful zoot suit – references a shot of Daffy Duck from the 1946 Looney Tunes short "Book Revue". Meanwhile, the smaller versions of himself used as flunkies appear to be modeled on another zoot suit worn by Tom in the 1944 Tom and Jerry short "The Zoot Cat". The juxtaposition of these references appears to nod to an internet meme which portrays these renditions of Daffy and Tom as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure characters, owed to their bright outfits and stylized poses unintentionally paralleling JoJo author Hirohiko Araki's distinctive art style.
Gameplay footage of the Jewel Ghoul fight (starts at 23:23):

The choice to give each room in Antonblast its own individual name was inspired by Commodore 64 single-screen platformers, particularly the bootleg game Snoopy by Radarsoft BV.

Anton was originally supposed to be an alcoholic in Antonball Deluxe, but the publisher forced the developers to remove that element, and he would drink sodas and floats instead. Anton would be made a drunkard in Antonblast, and the plot of the new game would revolve around rescuing his collection of "spirits".

In a trailer for the game and the design and description of the Spray Can costume "Anton's Daughter", it is jokingly implied that Anton is the father of Amy Rose from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. This is a reference to a fan art trend following the reveal of Sonic Origins, where fans would portray Anton as a friend or family member to Amy after her spinning hammer attacks shared a resemblance to Anton's hammer attacks.

The alternate palettes "Warrior Land" and "SS Syrup" are both references to the Wario Land series, the primary inspiration for Antonblast. Their descriptions also allude to this, with the former stating "We owe it all to him" (referencing Wario, the titular protagonist of the series), and the latter stating "A wardrobe fit for a Captain" (a reference to Captain Syrup, the main antagonist of the first two Wario Land games).

According to creator Tony Grayson, possibly in a joking manner, the Anton characters are all multicoloured as a result of a nuclear war that left only Japan and their home country of the Backburner Peninsula, and are not meant to be any real-world enthicity. Grayson jokingly compared the skin colors of the Anton characters to The Groovenians, a 2002 Cartoon Network pilot that was not picked up for a series.

The music track "Super Gangston!" in Antonball Deluxe is a highly distorted early version of "Dynamite Man" from Antonblast, which had not been officially revealed at the time of the game's launch.
