Unused "Top" Button

A variant of the "Top" button seen in the selection screens, found in data\Language_JP\Menu\Back\menu_kan_top. The palette is incorrect.

Mocking Bird

In the European release, in the French, German, Italian and Spanish languages, a small caption is displayed below the bottom screen when a skill is triggered.

Oddity

The sound effects used for each character's exclusive skills are stored alongside their associated sound sets (for example, the sound for the Rising Sun skill is stored within the Country sound set). This is true for every character except Nick (House, Techno, Electronica) and Hank (Trance, Digi-Rock, Gabber), which have eachother's skill sound effects instead (Hank's sound sets have the sound effect for the skill System Hack, while Nick's sound sets have the sound effect for the skill Riches to Rags).

Regional Differences

Logo Displays

• In the localizations, this sequence cannot be skipped, while it is possible to do so in the original Japanese release.
• In addition to the Bandai Namco and Q Entertainment titles displayed at the top screen, the bottom screen displays the logos of Bandai and of the Quest Beat label in the Japanese release, whereas they are replaced with "Licensed by Nintendo" in the localizations.

Japan	US/Europe

Title Screen

The Japanese version plays a voiceover after the game's title appears. While not heard in the localizations, it can still be found unused.
