The first rip of the song itself was "Bad Apple!! - Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story" which was uploaded on March 4, 2016; while the first rip to feature the song as a joke was "Dark Cave/Ice Path - Pokémon Gold & Silver" which was uploaded on April 20, 2016. Since then, it has become the most used Touhou Project song in rips by a large margin. The "Bad Apple!!" Day event in 2017 was dedicated to the song in recognition of the remix's 10th anniversary.
In melody change rips, the Alstroemeria Records version (which elevates the sixth note in the first measure by an octave and the second note in the fourth measure by five semitones) is most often used, rather than the original melody; though on occasion, rips will use the altered melody from the remix alongside the melodies from the original that weren't adapted by the remix. It is also notably paired with the Inspector Gadget theme song on occasion due to the first five notes being shared between the two melodies.
