* FanTranslation: In the case of ''SUGURI'' and ''Acceleration of SUGURI'' plus the ''X-Edition'' expansion pack. Sara Jessica Leen originally worked on English patches for these games prior to her initial employment with Rockin' Android and making the localizations official.
* FollowTheLeader: ''Acceleration of SUGURI'' was released shortly a few months after ''VideoGame/SenkoNoRonde'' debuted at arcades in Japan in 2006.
* MarthDebutedInSmashBros:
** Sora has an {{early|BirdCameo}}-bird appearance in ''Acceleration of SUGURI'' as an unlockable character; her own game was in development at the time of ''Acceleration of SUGURI''[='=]s release. A teaser of the ''sora'' can be also unlocked through her her Extra story. Sora's game was released in 2010 in Japan, followed by a butchered English release by an Internet troll in 2012, but was rescued and properly localized by Fruitbat Factory in 2016.
** Also, QP in ''Acceleration of SUGURI'' was originally a GuestFighter from another Orange_Juice game, ''VideoGame/QPShooting''. Her game, however, [[NoExportForYou never made it to the West]], thus making this her debut to Westerners for years until her sequel, ''QP Shooting - DANGEROUS!!'', which was also localized by Fruitbat Factory.
* [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]]: [[http://sara.wingdreams.net/profile.html Sara Leen]] originally made FanTranslation patches for the ''SUGURI'' series. Her translation and programming abilities eventually got her a job working as Rockin' Android's translator and programmer until they laid her off the company; she now works with Creator/XSEEDGames.
* RemadeForTheExport: Due to Sony's [[ExecutiveMeddling continual disdain]] for 2D games with visuals that appear weak to them, Rockin' Android enlisted the help of [[http://www.kaku-cika.com/ Keiko Sakurai]] to [[ArtShift rework all the character artwork and sprites]] of ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition'' to make them appealing to Sony.
