| - The Battle of Midway was a naval engagement that was marked as a turning point in the war between Nintendo and Sony. The battle was centered around Midway Island, the fourth race track in Mario Kart and included the complete destruction of two grandstands, Peach's castle and thousands of Japanese planes from Call of Duty. Admiral Nimitz, commander of the American forces with a Germanic-sounding name (hence why they didn't send him to North Africa) successfully defeated what was left of the Japanese navy despite Admiral Yamamoto's use of the classic Nintendo DS cheat code: UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START.
- With Hawaii subdued in early 1942, the Battle of Midway was an easy victory for Japan. After the United States retook Hawaii in 1943, Midway became a critical airbase for Japan.

- The battle was a very important one in the conduct of the "Pacific Theater" part of the Second World War. As such, it was used by Admiral Honor Harrington as an example of how overconfidence could result in defeat during her tactics class at the Royal Manticoran Naval Academy. She ordered one of her students, Midshipman Gillingham, to prepare an analysis of the battle. (HH9)
- The Wraith Commander of the battle learned of the Intergalactic Gate Bridge from information stolen from 'Todd' the Wraith. After he learned of the bridge and the Midway station he took a Wraith cruiser and numerous warriors in order to assault and take over the space station. To do this they first went to a planet at the edge of the Pegasus galaxy and hacked its Stargate for they could decipher the program the Tau'ri used to dial the Midway station. On the Midway station are 2 marines guarding the gate, Doctors Lee, Kavanagh and Dempster along with Ronon and Teal'c who are waiting until they can travel to the SGC for the IOA's interview of Ronon.
