  • The rock star has a tattoo of Diskun, the mascot of theFamily Computer Disk System, on their right arm.
  • The guitarist character changes depending on the dominant hand selected by the player: the right-handed version is a man, while the left-handed version is a woman.
  • In the Japanese version, the word on the meter says "Max" and the drum has the word "Gig" on it. International versions changed the word on the meter to "Rock" and the picture on the drum to a face.
