  • Audience-Alienating Premise: When the Switch port was first announced and released, people who hadn't played the game (or at least other mobile rhythm games) before found it revolting that the game could not be played in TV mode. This was especially the case in the West, as many Western "hardcore" gamers scoff at the concept of touchscreen controls. Not just that, but the game initially was best played with the Switch laid flat on a table, something that's difficult or not possible to do if, for example, you're on a bus or sitting on a park bench. Fortunately, a later update allows the game to be played with a controller, both in and out of TV mode.
  • Breather Level: Carnation has relaxing music and the lowest difficulty rating of all the songs on special.
  • Once Original, Now Common: When the game was first ported to Switch, it was revolutionary for having all of the content available under one purchase, as well as pointing out that mobile touchscreen-based rhythm games finally have a place in the console game industry. However, many other ports of rhythm games have since come out on the same platform, making it seem like just another game. Not helping matters is that the Switch port doesn't have all the content of the mobile version.
  • Polished Port: Despite being somewhat controversial due to being the first game on the platform to not work in docked mode, the Nintendo Switch version counts. The $25 price tag is a lot more palatable compared to the amount it'd cost to buy all the songs in the mobile version, and it doesn't have the always online requirement. (Keys are still handed out, but are only used for unlocking avatars.) An update later added docked mode support exclusively to this version, letting you use a standard controller instead of having to use the touchscreen.
  • Spiritual Adaptation: The update that enabled docked and controller play basically turns the game into a vertical Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, since you're now pressing any button to hit notes regardless of their horizontal position.
