  • Creator-Driven Successor:
    • The gameplay, bullet patterns, stage transitions, and other minor aesthetic touches (such as displaying the song name in the bottom-left of the screen) are all heavily based on Raizing's "Bat" seriesnote . It helps that all of these games were programmed by the same guy, S. Yagawa.
    • Pink Sweets gives further nods to Armed Police Batrider by having the playable characters be slightly visible and riding on flying machines, and having stage 6 be longer than the previous five stages combined. In addition, the gameplay of Pink Sweets is based on Recca, with the chargable Rose Crackers, the ability to change speeds, and the Rose Hip firing being a separate button. The Arrange Mode of Pink Sweets rounds out the "Bat" trilogy by featuring a scoring system akin to Battle Bakraid. There's a 64x multiplier cap, and both dying and using a Rose Cracker pauses the multiplier chain timer.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Ibara Kuro: Black Label has not been ported in any form.
  • Shrug of God: The ages of the Rose women are intentionally not given so that the players can "use their imaginations".
