    Trivia

    • Some cranky villagers believe that K.K. Slider's day job consists of being Phineas.[citation needed]
    • In City Folk, although Phineas will usually leave the city plaza at night, he can be forced to stay if the player waits in his vicinity without reloading the area. If this is done, his music cart will play along with the versions of the city music for the other times of day, which usually cannot be heard.[1]
    • In Happy Home Designer, when Phineas is at home, he can sometimes be seen in his outfit from City Folk from when he sold balloons.
