Music
The soundtrack features authentic Disney music from the attractions, with the exception of Space Mountain, which features music from the Disneyland version, and the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, which does not feature Aerosmith as the actual attraction does.
Interestingly, the soundtrack contains at least three holdovers from past Crystal Dynamics games. The music for DINOSAUR is lifted from the Prehistory Channel level of Gex: Enter the Gecko. The music for Blizzard Beach is lifted from Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, albeit with the portion containing the Gex 3 theme replaced by a section of "Tis the Season to be Jolly". Lastly, the music for the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is derived from Total Eclipse's Aqueous Major, the first level in the game. All of these games have been released on the PlayStation (Total Eclipse was released as "Total Eclipse: Turbo"), a console which it is also on.
Trivia
- The player does not need to get 1st place on the Splash Mountain course in order to win the game.
