- In Thomas' Tidy Up, the score sound is taken from the beginning of There Once Was An Engine Who Ran Away.
- At the start of every minigame, the "Go!" sound is the whistle taken from the beginning of It's Great to Be an Engine
- At the end of some of the minigames, the "Well Done!" sound is taken from the end of Sir Topham Hatt.
