Unused Content
The tilemap for the background in all three versions of Blue Birds contains several unused elements:
- A crudely drawn bird.
- Tiles depicting a straight line, possibly intended to be a fence.
- Mountains, as well as tiles resembling dirt and clouds.
- In Blue Birds 2, these mountain tiles are repurposed and used in the background, albeit with a cloud layer drawn behind them.
- An unused copy of the platform Captain Blue Bird stands on. The one used in the game is part of the captain's sprite.
- A tank in the distance, along with a defined horizon. The used background is a simple gradient with no clear seperation between the sky and the ground.
In all versions of Blue Birds, Captain Blue Bird's glasses are a separate sprite from his face, which obscure a pair of pointed closed eyes.
The Remix 2 version has the Japanese character "完" (Complete?) in the place of "To be continued.", drawn differently to the one used in Blue Birds 2. This graphic was redrawn and used in Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+, as Blue Birds 2 is not present in that game.
Regional Differences
The animation used when the player stretches too early or too late is altered in non-Japanese versions of Rhythm Heaven. The original animation is used in all versions of Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Unused Content
In Rhythm Heaven, Captain Blue Bird has a yellow music note on his hat, which is a separate sprite from the captain's. This is done so that it would not get flipped while playing in Lefty mode. The sprite for the note still exists in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, but goes unused.
