On the title screen, pressing the O will turn it into a bomb, which then explodes. After this, a short 19-note melody will play. This is Totaka's song, a song hidden by Nintendo composer Kazumi Totaka in almost all of the games he has worked on.

Sol Badguy is partially based off of Freddie Mercury, former frontman for the rock band Queen. This includes his name as a nod to Mercury's nickname "Mr. Bad Guy," as well as his leitmotif in the games being called "Keep Yourself Alive," sharing its name with the first song from Queen's debut album. Sol's headband is also inscribed with the words "Rock You," a reference to Queen's song "We Will Rock You."

According to Sol's official bio, his main hobby is listening to Queen, and his favourite album is "Sheer Heart Attack." This may also tie in to his role as Daisuke Ishiwatari's alter ego, as Ishiwatari admits to being a fan of Queen.

Most stages/bosses in the game actually have two slightly different themes. When a playable character enters Trance Mode, the music will shift to a "Spirit World" version. The normal stage themes have more of a focus on the melody and harmony of each track, while the Spirit versions have a lower sampling rate and focus much more on the rhythm. The two versions can also be mixed for a more "full" version.

It is possible that Toyosatomimi no Miko's theme lacks a Spirit World version. It is thought that this ties into Miko's ability to listen to peoples' desires, regardless of whether they are a spirit or not.

The song "Prelude", which is in every Final Fantasy game in some form, was made in 5 minutes. Nobuo Uematsu was asked to make one more song at the last minute, and Uematsu threw something together. He's still very embarrassed by it because it still appears in the Final Fantasy games.

"The song Prelude, from pretty much every game. The first game was practically done when Sakaguchi rushed in and asked for one more song. I threw together this arpeggio in like 5 minutes. I am still really embarrassed that something I threw together in 5 minutes has been used for everything"
