Parts of the music also sound similar to Madonna's Borderline, in particular the part at 00:17. In turn, it is the basis for the J-pop song Kusuriyubi no Kesshin by Dreams Come True, whom composer Masato Nakamura was a member of.
Star Light Zone's music is suspiciously similar to The Bee Gees' 'How Deep is Your Love' from Saturday Night Fever and Bobby Caldwell's 'Love Won't Wait'.Labyrinth Zone is extremely similar to the song 'Best of My Love' by The Emotions.Spring Yard Zone is pretty obviously inspired by Bobby Brown's 'Every Little Step'.'The Hurt''s arpeggio (heard at 0:26) also turns up at 0:22 of 'Casino Night Zone 2Player' in Sonic 2. Marble Zone sounds an awful lot like The Jacksons' 'The Hurt' as well as Andy Williams's 'Music to Watch Girls By'.
