Trivia[edit]
- Stinger's Japanese thought is a reference to a line spoken by Jonathan Joestar in the 1987 manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood. The choice of reference plays on Stinger's Japanese name, which itself plays off the word "beat." Meanwhile, Stinger's thought in the English SNES version is a nod to the 1990 Madonna song "Vogue".[2]
