When both characters stand still/idle for a period of time (around 30 seconds), the stage music will change and play a remixed version of the character/stage theme from either Killer Instinct or Killer Instinct Gold. This is only noticeable when using a returning character, such as Jago or Orchid. For newcomers, like Sadira, Kan-Ra and Aganos, the music will instead change to a remixed version of the main Killer Instinct theme, but flavored according to the stage theme. For instance, Kan-Ra's variation will have an Egyptian flavor, while Aganos's variation will have a Greek flavor.
