  • Bad Export for You: Daigasso! Band Brothers DX, the original Japanese version of Jam With The Band, allows you to download 100 songs from Wi-Fi. The European release limits you to just 50.
  • Development Hell: Daigasso! Band Brothers was originally developed for the Game Boy Color under the name Game Boy Music. It had been moved to the Game Boy Advance by the time Nintendo unveiled it in Spring 2001, but would ultimately be delayed and become a Nintendo DS launch title due to the GBA's limited sound hardware and the directors' difficulty in getting Nintendo executives to approve the game starring a unestablished character.
  • Feelies: The Japanese version of the original DBB didn't have a normal manual, it had three posters that had the manual on the backside, and original print copies of the game came with earbud headphones.
  • Marth Debuted in "Smash Bros.": Barbara the Bat, the main character of the game. Despite DBB being planned for a Western release, it was cancelled for unknown reasons. Barbara would make her first Western appearance in an obscure "non-game game" called Master of Illusion, a DS title that teaches the player how to perform card tricks. She would also appear as an unlockable Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl before Jam With The Band was released in Europe.
  • No Export for You: Despite Daigasso! Band Brothers being planned for a Western release, with the tentative title even being Jam With The Band, the release was eventually cancelled. Both the first and third game (Daigasso! Band Brothers P for the Nintendo 3DS) would remain Japan-only, while the second game would be released in Europe using the intended Jam With The Band name.
