==Trivia==
* The cycling and ing themes aren't used outside the tower. It is not possible to use the Bicycle inside the tower.
* Dragonspiral Tower's background music, リュウラセンの塔 Dragonspiral Tower, bears strong resemblances to fellow Nintendo platform compositions 樹海の神秘 Jukai no Shimpi (transl. "Mystery of the Forest", from ) and 神殿ダンジョン Shinden Danjon (transl. "Sanctuary Dungeon", from ).
** This background music also occurs in the Celestial Tower and the Giant Chasm.
* As the player ascends Dragonspiral Tower in , 's rampage is signaled by an unidentified character shouting "Burn, baby, burn!" while Reshiram's cry plays. This is a reference to the chorus of the 1976 song "". The corresponding text in Pokémon Black, shouted while 's cry plays, is "It's shocking!!"
** No speech is present in the Japanese versions, where the shouted text is merely onomatopoeia accompanying the cries of Reshiram and Zekrom—"" and " respectively.
