 * Space Wolves (in the introduction and the rest of the song, the wolves appear when the choir is singing).

 * Explosions in "poor quality".

 * It has a "boss" like in an adventure game.
 * On the World Dance Floor in, three of the cats in the routine appear as bosses.

 * On the website justdanceworld.com, it was said that Aurélie Sériné would dance to Holding Out for a Hero while she was a VIP on the World Dance Floor.
 * However, this never happened.
 * This is one of the songs selected for the Just Dance 2015 World Cup.undefined
 * There is a glitch in the Mashup for Xbox 360, Xbox One and PS4: when you come up and pick the dancer, it actually goes with no players.
 * When the sword disappears, it kind of glitches out instead of having a smooth transition.
 * The dancer appeared in the beta icons of some cups in Dance Quest.undefined
 * At the end of the Community Remix for this song, a thank you message from the Just Dance team will pop up saying: "You are our Heroes. Thank you, see you on !"
 * Plus, two girls from Japan cosplaying as the dancers from Die Young appear in it.
 * Additionally, during the split part, the screen divides into four parts: the fourth one shows the original coach and is placed at the bottom right, and all the others show various players who try to perform the split. Those players are credited as Just Dancers and their attributed avatar is the one from this song.
 * The space wolves in the background are recycled in the Showtime of When The Rain Begins To Fall.
 * The C'mon coaches on the Mashup icon make the pose from their Coach Selection Menu and not the ones from the menu icon.
