Trivia

• The towers in the background look similar to the ones used in Ninja Bodyguard. Both games feature a ninja of some kind that slice incoming objects (in the case of Ninja Bodyguard, it's arrows).
  • Also, the Dog Ninja title card shares the same scenario from the Ninja Bodyguard title card: A big yellow moon with grass in the foreground with a dark blue sky.
• Mister Eagle reappears in Super Samurai Slice 2.
