Trivia

 * It is likely that Embrose is a pun from "Embers", the traces of fire. The coals burning in the train let off embers.
 * Alternatively, however unlikely, it could suggest M. Bros., another one of the many Super Mario Bros. references that Nintendo subtly fits into the majority of its games, in homage to its beginnings.
