Notes[edit]
- The clouds that appear in the background of this galaxy are identical to the ones that appear around Isle Delfino.
- If this galaxy is hacked and viewed in a level editor, one can view aDry Bones in the air off one side of the galaxy, above the sky. It is impossible to see it during actual gameplay, as it is right above a death plane and immediately dies upon loading the galaxy.[2]
