Trivia
- Similarly to Classics! in PAL regions (known as "Now You're Playing With Spirit Power!"), the event's title references the Game Boy's slogan used by commercials, which was shared with the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Meanwhile, the Japanese title of the event references the phrase said in the first commercial for the Game Boy itself.
- In contrast to other Spirit Board events based on a specific console (such as Classics! and Get N or Get Out), the majority of spirits included in this event use artwork that are not used for Game Boy games. Of the 33 spirits included in the event, only 12 of them use artwork originally used for a Game Boy game.
- The event's description references "Play It Loud!", a slogan used by advertisements for the Game Boy and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
