Aside from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and its subsequent [[reissue]]s, the only other appearance of Roto-Discs is in the [[Mini-Mario]] course in [[Bowser's Castle]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. As a throwback to the previous games, they are obstacles that send Mario back to the beginning of the area if they connect with him.

==Trivia==
*In [[Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|''Wario's Woods'' for the SNES]], activating a combo causes an energy orb to appear and refill [[Birdo]]'s time gauge. The sprite used for the orb is the same as the Roto-Discs, only with a different palette.<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/1298715131715567616|title=After activating a combo in the SNES version of Wario's Woods, an energy orb appears and refills Birdo's time gauge. The sprite used for the orb is exactly the same as the Roto-disc enemy from Super Mario Bros. 3, only with a different palette.

*A sign reading "ROTO DISC" appears in the 1993 ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film. According to production designer {{wp|David Snyder|David L. Snyder}}, the Roto-Discs were imagined as the energy-conversion engines used in the electric [[Dinohattan]] cars.{{ref needed}}
