==Trivia==
*Some [[cranky]] [[villager]]s believe that [[K.K. Slider]]'s day job consists of being Phineas.<ref>{{Cite|No one knows where he comes from or why he does it, but sometimes there's a guy who hands out prizes. My theory is that this is K.K. Slider's day job, <catchphrase>!|[[Cranky]] villagers in the [[city]]|{{CF|short}}}}</ref>
*In {{CF|short}}, 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.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Sir Potato Bottom|date=September 20, 2020|url=https://youtube.com/watch?v=8eQla3b3u-s-s|title=Spending the Whole Night in the City Plaza with Phineas in Animal Crossing: City Folk|site=YouTube|retrieved=April 6, 2021}}</ref>
*In {{HHD|short}}, when Phineas is at home, he can sometimes be seen in his outfit from {{CF|short|nolink}} from when he sold balloons.
*Phineas shares his [[birthday]] with [[Graham]].
