[[File:Samurai Slice DS Unused.png|thumb]]There are unused sprites in this game, depicting the [[Ninja]]s from [[Ninja Bodyguard]], and Tiny Ninja from ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!|WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', who appeared in the microgames [[mariowiki:Stick & Move|Stick & Move]], [[mariowiki:Arrow Space|Arrow Space]] and [[mariowiki:Ninja Vision|Ninja Vision]]. Some of the sprites from these microgrames (such as the rock and tree in the background, along with the general aesthetic) were reused directly in this game.

[[The Wandering Samurai]] has a different appearance in ''[[Rhythm World]]'', his clothing looking like a "pojol" (Korean police during the [[wikipedia:Joseon|Joseon]] period). He was also given a beard. [[Samurai Slice (Wii)|Samurai Slice]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and [[Super Samurai Slice]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' also got redesigned characters, though [[The Wandering Samurai]] wears a headband instead of a hat and lacks the beard in those appearances.

During [[Samurai Slice (Wii)|Samurai Slice]]'s story cutscene, the last screen shows [[The Wandering Samurai]] leaving to retrieve the pinwheel as [[Pinwheel Girl]] and the other child stay behind. This scene has two different lines shown on-screen, reading {{Nihongo|Don't Worry.|そこで まっておれ|Just wait right there.}} and {{Nihongo|I will see justice done.|おじさんに まかせなさい|Leave it to me.}}. In ''[[Minna no Rhythm Tengoku]]'', there is a third line which goes unused: {{Nihongo|夜勤おけなのに きついなあ|Although my night shift is finally over, it's quite tough}}. This line has a single sprite using it, followed by duplicates of the other two, without any miss variants. This third line was removed entirely in all other languages, with the unused sprites simply left textless.

 

Likewise, [[Samurai Slice 2]]'s final story cutscene has two different lines, those being {{Nihongo|Save my bunny!|取り返して！}} and {{Nihongo|Buy me a new bunny!|新しいの買ってきて！}}, with an unused third line in ''[[Minna no Rhythm Tengoku]]'', being {{Nihongo|だから、あなたは誰？|So, who are you?}}. There is no unused sprite for it, however.

In ''[[Rhythm World Wii]]'', the characters featured in this game have their traditional Japanese clothing altered to resemble Korean traditional clothing, called [[wikipedia:Hanbok|Hanbok]]. Interestingly, [[The Wandering Samurai]]'s appearance is different from that of the [[Samurai Slice (DS)|Samurai Slice]] in ''[[Rhythm World]]''. Additionally, in the [[Superb]] epilogue, the colors of the background were changed from red and yellow to blue and cyan.

 

In the background of [[Samurai Slice (Wii)|Samurai Slice]], the snow layer on the mountain in the background was removed in ''[[Rhythm World Wii]]'' (presumably to remove the resemblance to [[wikipedia:Mount Fuji|Mount Fuji]]), however this change was oddly not represented in [[Remix 8 (Wii)|Remix 8]], nor in the game's reapparance in ''[[Rhythm Sesang: The Best+]]''.

In [[Samurai Slice 2]], the sign over the door in the bottom right was changed in each version, most notably the removal of a wine glass on the sign. ''[[Rhythm World Wii]]'' gives [[The Wandering Samurai]] a new appearance here as well, going from a lightning-based rework of his normal outfit in other versions to a new outfit with a hat decorated with lightning blots, and sporting the beard once again.

In ''[[Rhythm Sesang: The Best+]]'', the same changes as in ''[[Rhythm World Wii]]'' apply, with the exception of the altered mountain in the background. Interestingly, the Official Game Trailer doesn't use the localized artwork for this game<ref>[https://youtu.be/S0QXDvSlq0I 리듬 세상 더 베스트 플러스 소개 영상] (Rhythm Sesang: The Best+ Introduction Video)</ref>.
