Trivia[]

  • The Japanese edition of the soundtrack refers to the location Chapter 1 takes place in as Land of Fertility (豊穣の大地 Hōjō no Daichi?).
  • The main leitmotif of the chapter's music is reminiscent of Wonderworld (Song).
  • All of the hay present in Chapter 1 can be ignited and charred by using a Costume that can produce flames, including: Hothead, Flame Blaster, and both Iron Apollo and Airy Apollo. The flame won't hurt the player. When you leave and reenter the Act, the hay will be normal again.
  • If the ball comes into contact with you, you would be flattened. There is a unique animation in where the player character is flattened into the ground and appears 2D, much like a cartoon character.
  • Chapters 1, 9, and 11 are the only Chapters with 7 Costumes unlike other Chapters with only 6.
