Trivia

• This rhythm game, as well as its counterpart, Feel the Magic, is a direct throwback to Samba de Amigo, another game published by SEGA, as it shares the same concept and the music is identical to another song in the game.
• The song featured in Samba Carnival is called "Vamos a Carnaval!", originally composed by Naofumi Hataya and Tomoko Sasaki.
  • The original song and various remixes has been featured in other SEGA titles, including Samba de Amigo: Party Central.
• The control scheme for this rhythm game is the same as the Dreamcast version(s) of Samba de Amigo when played with a traditional Dreamcast controller (top left, middle left, and bottom left are controlled with the D-pad, while top right, middle right, and bottom right are controlled with the Dreamcast's Y, B, and A buttons, respectively).
• The "TILT!!" prompts are a nod to Samba de Amigo's "POSE!!" prompts, where the player has to hold their controllers in various positions to match the figure on-screen. Unlike posing, however, tilting will only register certain positions--tilting up will only hit the two top circles, tilt down to reach the two bottom, and tilt left or right to hit the left or right middle circle, respectively--whereas posing can use any combination of positions (i.e. left circle and down-right circle).
