Trivia

• In Rhythm Heaven's game Shoot-'Em-Up 2, the Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady who appears on the communicator is wearing a marching helmet.
• A Barely counts as a miss only towards perfect and superb. It qualifies as a hit towards an OK rating.
• Along with the rest of Stage 1, this game has a counterpart in the arcade version at 150% speed, with a more vibrant synth for orchestration and different graphics.
• This is one of the few games in Rhythm Tengoku that has more than or equal to 3 commands while this one has 4 commands.
• 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.
• This is the only game in Megamix to use every button (the D-Pad, the "B" button and the "A" button).
