  • 1st level difficulty: It takes a short time to fill the meter.
  • 2nd level difficulty: It takes a slightly longer time to fill the meter.
  • 3rd level difficulty: It takes even longer time to fill the meter.

Notes[edit]

  • The rock star has a tattoo of Diskun, the mascot of the Family Computer Disk System, on their right arm.
  • The guitarist character changes depending on the dominant hand selected by the player: the right-handed version is a man, while the left-handed version is a woman.
  • In the Japanese version, the word on the meter says "Max" and the drum has the word "Gig" on it. International versions changed the word on the meter to "Rock" and the picture on the drum to a face.
