Trivia

• According to an in-game voice line from Mauga, the fishing in Samoa is high quality.
• In order to make the map feel more unique, director Aaron Keller assigned each level of the map to a different design team at the same time.
• The inspiration for the map's location came from Aaron Keller's realization that there was no "tropical island" themed map in the game yet.
• There are about 710 breakable barriers across the 3 Samoa levels.
• When the point is captured in the Beach level, multiple coconuts drop from the sky around the capture point.
