Trivia[]

• Like Ryugen from Battride War II, Riderman also originally meant to be playable, but was dropped for some reasons. However, they will be playable through Tag Partner only.
• As explained why original Kuuga has no Rising Ultimate Form since Battride War II, the game only focus on adding the forms that only appeared within a respective titled Riders' TV series airing and summer movie, Movie War, and side story movie. Due to fact that original Kuuga, and DiEnd obtain their last forms, Rising Ultimate and Complete Forms respectively is on some of their guest appearance in a certain ongoing Rider series.
• The game's storyline based on the TV series (Movie War film for W) are only focus on one of the earliest Riders from each era phases (not counting Drive, despite the story based on his first episode is in) in order to save the future Riders' future first appearance quickly and manage to be recruited quickly:
  • First two Heisei Era Phase 2 Riders: Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider W
  • First two Heisei Era Phase 1 Riders: Kamen Rider Kuuga and Kamen Rider Agito
  • The last Showa Rider for the future first Heisei Rider: Kamen Rider BLACK
  • First two Showa Era Riders: Kamen Rider (starting with Rider 1 in his original form) and Kamen Rider V3
• The brainwashing stories on the other Riders from each primary Heisei Riders' series (safe for DLC characters, Mach, and Showa Riders, including the non-Rider Auto Vajin) is similar to the first game's memory alterations memory alteration storyline.
• For some reasons, the PS3 and PSVita versions' cutscenes of this game's only for a certain scenes, such as on the characters, retelling chapter intro, including the Undead Slab's Roach Undead summons, are actually a footage from PS4 version, due to limitation on PSVita version itself.
