Trivia

• This is the only Rhythm Game in the entire series to start with a skippable cutscene instead of a Practice.
  • The game did, however, get a practice in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, which leads into the cutscene.
• This game and Ninja no Shison are the only games to have their controls changed in the arcade version.
• A lot of the visual design of this game was reused in Dog Ninja in Rhythm Heaven, such as similar looking towers to the ones in the cutscene, and a similar prologue: A big yellow moon with grass in foreground, in a dark blue sky.
• According to the debug menu in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, a short version of this game was intended to appear.
• In Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus and Rhythm World: The Best Plus, the description changes depending on the which control setting is being used. Normally, the word "タッチ" (Touch) is written in green, but here it is not. In all other versions, the description is rewritten without the controls.
