- "Genie" is a corruption of the Arabic word "djinni," the word for "one djinn." The Babylonians from the Sonic Riders series are also referred to as genies.
- Sand Oasis and Night Palace are the only levels that do not have an exclusive Djinn in the level.
- It is possible that Captain Bemoth is a Djinn, due to Slime Djinn coming together with a Red Ma Djinn to create Captain Bemoth.
