Trivia
- Neptune's personality in the localized version of the games and the original Japanese version of the games are quite different. While the localized version portrays her as silly and somewhat hip girl with a weird way of speaking, The Japanese version portrays her as somewhat spunkier girl who acts silly most of the time but can also be serious.
- Neptune is not the absolute personification of the Sega Neptune but rather an imaginary console based on the Sega Neptune.
