Trivia
- This stage may be a section of Lee Chaolan's Bahamas mansion.
- Lee makes a cameo appearance amongst the crowd of women spectating the fight unless he is one of the fighters.
- Lee's Tekken 5 epilogue is called Poolside, and the actual stage is similar to the setting.
- It resembles the images of Violet's Bahamas Mansion in Lee's Tekken 4 prologue and Fight Lab art.
- While near or far to the waiters, if the players move anywhere, Lee or one of the waiters will look at them while moving his head.
- In the trailer of the game, some official screenshots of this stage, and the in-game thumbnail of this stage, Lee is seen wearing a purple, long-sleeved shirt, similar to the shirt he wears while in his Violet persona. In-game, Lee is instead seen wearing a light blue short-sleeved polo.
- This is one of the few stages that does not have any interludes.
- In fact, Poolside is the only stage that does not appear in Story Mode whatsoever.
- This stage corresponds to the Pool Party stage in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.
- A remix version of the music from this stage is used as the first theme for Tekken 7's stage Island Paradise, which also is a remake of this stage.
- The pattern at the center of the stage is a seal carving of 李 (Lee).
- If a character hits a wall near the girls wearing bikinis, it will startle them away from the fighting area. Some girls will perform a frustrated animation such as a kick, or become embarrassed and awkwardly look around, and then will return back to their initial position and continue dancing/standing. They will sometimes angrily say "Watch it!", or curse the fighters saying "Son of a...", or simply scream in shock.
