!!The second game contains examples of:
* BuildingSwing:
* GameOfTheYearEdition: Parodied. The title screen bears the subtitle of "Game of ''a'' Year Edition".
* GrapplingHookPistol: The Noid can use his yo-yo as such to swing from things.
* HollerButton: The Noid has a ''dab'' button, and he emits a small noise whenever he dabs.
* NostalgiaLevel: The first level is another rising-and-sinking dock, just like the original.
* SecondHourSuperpower: At the end of the first level, the Noid recovers his yo-yo, which allows him to tether and grapple things.
* ShoutOut:
** The character select menu has a few:
*** The default Noid is "None Pizza", a reference to the infamous "None Pizza with Left Beef" meme.
*** [[Music/Crush40 Crust 40]] has you play as a {{Franchise/Sonic|TheHedgehog}}-like Noid.
*** The pill-shaped Noid is selected through the "[[Franchise/MegaMan Proto Man]]" option.
** The final boss of the game is [[spoiler:a blue-haired man named [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Mike Hatsune]]. He also makes reference to creating a "vocal Noid"]].
* TitleDrop: When characters talk in the game, "Yo!" is appended in front of their name. Naturally, this results in "Yo! Noid" when the Noid himself speaks.
* TitleScream: Only the "''Yo! Noid''" part is shouted, though.
* WallJump: One of the moves the Noid can do.
* WallRun: The Noid can initiate this by jumping at an angle towards a wall. It's not good at going up, but it covers nice horizontal distance.
* WereStillRelevantDammit: InUniverse, PlayedForLaughs and [[PlayedForDrama drama]]. The Noid has a dab button, which initially seems like a goofy function. [[spoiler:However, at the end of the game, Mike Hatsune talks at length about how the Noid and his world are outdated, casting his dab maneuver in a darker light and making it seem more like an attempt to stay relevant and avoid being destroyed]].

Besides being an obvious bit of [[ProductPlacement/VideoGames product placement for Domino's]], the other curious aspect to this title is that it's actually a DolledUpInstallment of a Famicom game, ''Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru''. In that game, you played a ninja who, instead of a yo-yo, flung his bird at enemies. The pizza eating contests were originally traditional battles. And the setting and story was completely different, with kids going missing from Fun Island and Hanamaru having to find them and stop who's behind it.
