* DevelopmentGag: The "Cozmic" in ''Darius Cozmic Collection'' and ''Darius Cozmic Revelation'' looks like a strange typo to make it sound cool, but it's actually a reference to one (of several) [[WorkingTitle working titles]] for the first game, ''Cozmo'', before Taito set up on the final name.

** A Xbox 360 port of ''Dariusburst Another Chronicle'' was in the works, and it would introduce the Silver Hawk Formula pilot Ivry Hadd as the game's main protagonist. The port never got off the ground, but Ivry would later show up in ''Alice Gear Aegis'' alongside Ti-2.

* BadExportForYou: The digital edition of the ''Darius Odyssey'' guidebook, which was released as DownloadableContent for ''Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours'', is only available in Japanese, despite the game being translated in multiple languages. An updated version of the guidebook would later be fully translated in English for the Western release of ''Darius Cozmic Revelation'', but as part of the collector's edition.

** "AC Mode" in ''Chronicle Saviours'' is completely translated in English, but for some reason, the loading screen tips are left untranslated. This was later remedied in ''Another Chronicle EX+''.

** Crusty Hammer was originally planned to be the first boss in ''Darius Gaiden'', but since the game was already too easy, they moved him to later stages, tweaked his difficulty and made him harder to make a no-miss run impossible to achieve.

** Crusty Hammer was originally planned to be the first boss in ''Darius Gaiden'', but since the game was already too easy, they moved him to later stages, tweaked his difficulty and made him harder to make a no-miss run impossible to achieve. This idea was reused in ''Darius Gaiden Extra'' where he's the first boss instead of Golden Ogre, but thankfully he's much easier to deal with due to the player starting with [[DynamicDifficulty a low rank]].

* ScheduleSlip: M2 originally planned to release the ''Ver.2'' patch for ''G Darius HD'' during Summer 2021, but they went out of their way to not only port and update the arcade revision, but also the Playstation port as well, causing the patch to be delayed to March 2022.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: ''Super Darius'', ''Super Darius II'', the PSP ''Dariusburst'', and the original ''Dariusburst Another Chronicle'' have all not seen rereleases on more modern platforms. Notably, most of the other games in the series have seen rereleases on modern platforms, usually as part of compilations; this includes console reformulations of the arcade ''Darius'' and ''Darius II''. Somewhat justified for ''Super Darius'' since ''Darius Extra Version'' on Mega Drive is quite similar to it, also being a 4:3 adaptation of the original ''Darius'' with 26 bosses. Justified in the case of ''DBAC'' as its expanded rerelease ''Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX'' is available for sale in rereleases.

''Super Darius'' was later re-released in 2020 as part of the PC Engine Mini.
** Excluding the home console ports, the original three-screen version of ''Darius II'' was never ported to any other console. Most of its home ports are based on its updated dual-screen version because of its brutal difficulty. It finally got a release in 2023 for Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 as part of Hamster's ''Arcade Archives'' lineup.
