- Occasionally, Alpharad will not take local tournaments seriously, using characters such as Wario-Man during bracket matches or partnering with a random person for doubles matches. They also uploaded a video of them at a tournament playing by themselves as Wario-Man in doubles.
- Alpharad had or was part of several other channels outside of their main channel: Alpharad Platinum (formerly known as Alpharad Plus, then Alpharad Deluxe, then Alpharad Gold), in which they upload content that is typically unedited; Alpharad Replay, which is used as a stream archive; Alpharad LIVE (formerly known as Not Alpharad), where they upload non-scripted stream highlights, and previously uploaded very short comedy videos and snippets of their life alongside clips from their videos on their other channels; and Friends Without Benefits, a collaboration between YouTubers Dad as Heck, Weegee Plays, Deezus, and Major Duncan that they were part of until 2018. They are now also part of a group channel called Wildcard, commonly stylized as WILD/CARD, which is a collaboration between them, Jaiden Animations, Captain Kidd, Giwi, gsmVoiD, Fyrus, sunflowersmith, Weegee Plays, and Vulpixie
