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. In it, the arrows are shot by allied Ninjas at a wooden dummy with a face drawn on it, which replaces the Lord. The face itself is a Henohenomoheji, an arrangement of Hiragana characters used to represent a generic human face.
- 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.
