* WordSaladTitle: A troubadour is a writer and performer of songs or poetry in the Middle Ages. What this has to do with Duel Monsters is anyone's guess. The actual reason for it is an extremely obtuse example of SuperTitle64Advance, as the title can be shortened to "Ni-Tro", referring to the DS's codename of "Nitro".

* DiskOneNuke: If you know what you're doing, it's possible to get a Meteor B. Dragon and it's necessary fusion materials (polymerization, Red-Eyes, Meteor Dragon) as earlier as the fifth booster pack unlock, and before the plot really kicks into swing. Considering most Duelist don't have any super complex strategies or high ATK monsters until the late game, and even then, this was back when the game primarily valued high ATK stats over effects, and Meteor B. Dragon is a 3500 ATK monster, by far the highest ATK monster at that point in the game, it proves to be a ''very'' effect Beatstick early on, and even in the late game.
