- Victory, As Expected, Dealt a Setback, A Stalemate, Glory to King Knight!, Long Shall His Majesty Triumph, Show up for the Showdown!, Hyper Victory, and all Boss Intro Buildups cannot be played in Sound Test mode. The rest of the tracks of King of Cards can be unlocked and listened to in Sound Test after completing the campaign once.

- The sound test for Showdown includes a track named Par-tay Rap!, which isn't present in the soundtrack and was originally composed for Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope.
