Trivia

• Artwork from one of its various arcade cards is seen on the TCG Move Card Ultimate Earth (Kaku 1st) instead of a snapshot from the anime of the Move (the only anime-based Ultimate Move that this happens with). The reason why could likely either be because they got the Moves mixed up, or a suitable frame from Ultimate Earth's only main onscreen usage couldn't be found.
• In the DS game, Crystal Crusher only uses three crystals instead of four, despite keeping a similar animation for the dinosaur's movements.
