Normally, this area's sunset theme has the melody played out by a music box, mirroring the other areas. But in the US and European versions of the GameCube original, there is a special version of the sunset track. The melody in it is played on instruments similar to the main Wistful Wild theme (flutes and such). This version only plays through once at the beginning of sundown, and when the song loops, it uses the standard all-music box version from there on out. This can be witness by pausing the game, or by opening an [[Onion]]'s menu, and does not happen at all in the ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|New Play Control!]]'' versions.
