- In Chapter 2, the player can travel along the path as Allegretto to revisit Tenuto Village.
- In an Encore Mode playthrough, this area can be revisited in Chapter 6 or 7, though there is nothing else to do there. Once the player has cleared this area with Polka, they need never visit again if they don't desire to.
