* DifficultySpike:
** The stages with Panpeus, Flying-O, and Mojo King Bee aren't too tough if you have a good grasp of the game mechanics. Then you hit the [[ThatOneBoss first battle with Ben-K]], and the difficulty just skyrockets from there.
** On Master Mode, you could just start the spike from Mojo King Bee. And considering that's only the [[SerialEscalation third level]]...

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mojo King Bee is perhaps the most memorable minor boss in the game thanks to his funky, absurd scenario and incredibly catch song.

** For those who don't see it coming, the first battle with Ben-K, which is 100% Guard Phase (read: flurry of notes from all directions), can be a particularly insidious showstopper. If they were going for the fact that you were meant to barely escape from the battle alive, [[FridgeBrilliance Koei and iNiS did one hell of a good job]].

* GoodBadBug: In the original [=PS2=] version, ejecting the disc during the fourth and sixth stages, then immediately reinserting it grants you an instant win. While there's no real need to do this in [[BreatherLevel the latter stage]], it may very well be the only way to pass [[ThatOneBoss the former stage]] for some players. Sadly, this was fixed in time for the PSP remake.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuUVHyTEuSM Metal Header]] is done in the style of Music/TheAquabats.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwQNGvYUFNo Toda Pasion]] sounds a lot like the works of Music/CarlosSantana.

We\'re zapping Needs More Love, as per Ask The Tropers.
