| *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}}
