 * 3 songs from Kid Icarus: Uprising appear in Palutena's reveal trailer that don't appear in-game; those being Chaos Vortex, the original version of Destroyed Skyworld, and the opening theme from said game.
 * However, the latter song is higher pitched in the trailer, mainly due to the way Boss Fight 1 transitions into said song.
