==Trivia==
===General===
*Automaton is the second song by Jamiroquai in the series.
*"Junkie" is censored.
*The following mistakes are present in the lyrics:
**"Am I love?" is misinterpreted as "In my love".
**"Where they’ve given me" is misinterpreted as "When they've given me".
**"I steal the moon on silver nights" is misinterpreted as "I steal the moon on summer nights".
**"My soul is null and void tonight" is misinterpreted as "My soul is numb and for tonight".
**"And cry for freedom" is misinterpreted as "In claws of freedom".
**"And tilt my head towards the sun" is misinterpreted as "And turn my head towards the sun".
**"Feel like a man who fell to Earth"/"But this is not where I belong" is misinterpreted as "Feel like a man who said to us"/"That this is not where I belong".
*In the Tomato Version, the audio is shortened at the beginning and the end, cutting out during the line "You know I need something I can hold onto", but it was not the case in the Classic routine.
**This marks the first time two different routines for the same song have alterations in the in-game audio.
===Routine===
*Automaton is the first Solo routine where the pictograms have black arrows. In previous games, when the glove color was black (such as Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!) and Rock N Roll), the pictograms’ arrows were a different color.
*During the first few parts of the routine, the coach’s glove is missing.
*Although the forward and backward arrow for pictograms had been redesigned before the announcement of , four of Automaton’s use the old version.
*In the E3 announcement video, the pictogram have their default colors and the background is more greenish than black.
*In the UK preview gameplay, the pictogram for Gold Moves 1 and 2 is more saturated. In the final game, it has the typical Gold Move pictogram color.
*In and , the audio in the Classic version does not fade out.
*U.N.I.T. appears in the background of Fire as part of the character selection screen.
