The Famicom Disk System mascot, Diskun, appears on the title screen where he is knocked out with a bouncing Ping Pong ball. He also appears in front of the winning player during the game, dancing and waving his paddle around.
Diskun replaces Pentaro, a Konami mascot penguin who debuted in Antarctic Adventure who also appeared in the arcade games.
The spectators are all identical-looking people with one exception: rooting for Player 1 is Donkey Kong Jr. from the Donkey Kong series.
As with Diskun, Donkey Kong Jr. is replacing another appearance of Pentaro who appeared in the arcade game.
