In Japan, the game was known as "New Legend of the End-of-Century Savior: Fist of the North Star". Since the international version of the game did not retain the Fist of the North Star license, the characters names were changed and minor alterations were made to the graphics, generally limited to changing the color palette of the characters.

There are three audio tracks in the game's files that are labeled "land_of_choc_main", "land_of_choc_end_neg", and "land_of_choc_end_pos". "choc" most likely stands for chocolate, and while this song is played during one of the game's missions, it does not involve chocolate, and neither does any other mission or area of the game.

However, the song was later used in the introductory cutscene to the level "The Land of Chocolate" for The Simpsons Game.

The back of the package and the Nintendo eShop description for the game state that Koopa Troopas appear. However, the turtle-like enemies in the game are actually Bombshell Koopas, which were used instead of normal Koopa Troopas because the developers did not have the time to reproduce the Koopa Shell ricochet effect on the Game Boy hardware.

Attachment "Shiny Pokémon" was originally a fan term used to describe the sparkle effect whenever such Pokémon appeared. They were originally referred to as "色違い" (Different/Alternate Color) Pokémon from the mechanic's debut in Generation II (Gold & Silver, Crystal). Starting from Generation V (Black & White, Black & White 2), "光る" or 'Shiny' became the official term for alternately colored Pokémon, with a non-playable character in Nimbasa City using the term in Black & White.

Attachment The song, "The MMORPG Addict's Anthem" takes place in an MMORPG that resembles another SEGA series, Phantasy Star Online. More specifically, Phantasy Star Online 2. This is likely in response to a cameo appearance that Hatune Miku made within the title, as their position in the Project DIVA F music video is the same as where they appeared within Phantasy Star Online 2. While the song take place within Phantasy Star Online 2, the lyrics reference RMT (Real Money Trade) and MPKing (Monster Player Killing, a term used for luring monster to attack other players), elements that are practically non-existent in Phantasy Star Online 2 and more prominent within earlier titles in the series.

Also, during this song, the guest vocaloid sings instead of the vocals vocaloid. This is because the guest vocaloid is actually the in-game avatar of the vocals vocaloid.
