Trivia

 * This is one of a few games to have different rating screens of both versions, except to the Superb rating screen that keeps the same style as it did in the original.
 * In Rhythm Heaven's game Shoot-'Em-Up 2, the character who appears on the radio is wearing a cadet helmet.
 * The cadets are wearing blue suits in the title screen, but in the actual game the suits are light green.
 * A Barely counts as a miss only towards perfect and superb. It qualifies as a hit towards an OK rating.
