Trivia
- Perhaps due to the phasing out of the Dreamcast and also Sega's withdrawal from producing game consoles, the V-converters on the Virtuaroids's backs are no longer Dreamcasts, but simply a tray with an open top, with the spinning disc visible.
- The slower responses of all Virtuaroids, made to balance the four-player matches of Force, was explained in the Japanese manual as a side-effect of the V-converters being less efficient on Mars.
- The VR's Fei-Yen Knight (from Oratorio Tangram), Temjin, and Apharmd the Hatter also make appearances in the game Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 as playable characters. All three return in Super Robot Wars K accompanied with their storylines. Apharmd the Hatter also returns in Xbox 360 remake of the Force.
- Prior to the Xbox Live Arcade version of Virtual-On: Oratorio Tangram, Marz was the only home console iteration of the series to not feature the Twin Sticks controller.
- The connection between Marz and Force's gameplay can be found on the back of the Japanese version's packaging, which states the game "follows the rules of the arcade Virtual On: Force".
- The game allows the players to unlock many variations of certain types of Virtuaroids, such as Raidens with beam rifles rather than bazookas or with slightly improved performance. A majority of the unlockable machines include many variations of the VR Temjin series, although the only MBV-04 type is the "10/80 adv", a mass production variant of the MBV-04, and an advance of the systems used in the standard 10/80. Despite this however, most of the more-diverse virtuaroid variants introduced in Force were not included in the game, being replaced by recolored "commander" variants of several VRs in addition to the minorly-different Temjin models. Several Virtuaroid series, such as the Fei-Yen, Specineff-13, and BAL series only had their base models selectable. All of Angelan series from Force was replaced with an all-new Angelan unit. The VR Kagekiyo series was initially included in the game, but removed before the game was completed. These are due to storage constraints of the game as the PlayStation 2 being on early lifespan.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
