* SpinOff: A spin-off was released in Japanese arcades known as ''Shakatto Tambourine''; it's basically ''Samba de Amigo'' ... [-[[RecycledInSpace WITH A TAMBOURINE!]]-] (and with at least one ''Manga/InitialD'' song too).

* DerangedAnimation
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Once again, Rio.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Amigo and his sister Amiga.
* FamilyThemeNaming: The two main characters are siblings named Amigo and Amiga. They're the same name except gendered.
* FrothyMugsOfWater: Averted as, despite no alcohol appearing in-game, it's mentioned that Wamba owns a bar.

* JigglePhysics: Linda has a mild case of this going on.

* PinballSpinoff: In ''VideoGame/SonicPinballParty'', of all places.
* SceneryPorn: It gets ''crazy''.

* WingdingEyes: Sometimes Amigo will have star eyes.

Developed by Creator/SonicTeam, released in 1999 as an arcade game, and for the Dreamcast in 2000, ''Samba de Amigo'' was a RhythmGame that had elements that were ahead of its time: such as motion controls, a diverse soundtrack of mostly pop music (primarily from Latin pop artists like Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez, along with many others ... like Music/ReelBigFish and Music/{{Chumbawamba}} for some reason), an early form of console DLC (going online merely "unlocked" them, as they were apparently on-disc already. They were mainly remixes from other Sega franchises), and a vibrant cast of characters headed by a crazy looking monkey in a sombrero.

* FurryFemaleName: Inverted. Linda's head is always covered and Amiga only has a TuftOfHeadFur. However the very male but {{bishonen}} Rio had a full head of reddish blonde hair.

* TheCameo: The game was popular enough for Amigo to make cameos in other Sega games (primarily the MassiveMultiplayerCrossover ''SegaSuperstars'' series); and in return, ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' and ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5'' themed stages also make appearances in the Wii version.

* BootstrappedTheme: While it was a previously existing (and licensed) song, Samba de Janeiro (by Bellini, now Paffendorf)[[hottip:*:Which also appears as a remixed version also called "Samba de Amigo"]] is considered to be the theme song of the game, and tends to come up whenever the game gets referenced in other games.
