The hotel features a large painting of an ocean wave. This is supposed to be a rendition of "Stormy Sea off Kanagawa" a famous woodblock print created by the famed 18th Century Japanese artist Hokusai (1760-1849). You can also see the Konami logo in the background in one of its many, many cameo appearances in this game. |

One of the games you can play in the mini-game hut is this thing where you have to try and throw balls into a "Goblin's" head. The beast is a traditional Japanese devil-creature known as an Oni, who are usually depicted as red-faced shirtless guys of the sort we see here. |

If you look closely, you can see that the cards in the concentration mini-game have the wavy Konami logo on the back.
