Trivia[edit]

  • In the Japanese version, the unnamed Snifit is under the employ of someone only referred to as「社長」(shachō, "president"), implied to be Booster. This is completely erased from the English version outside of a vague reference to another person in the Snifit's line, "We run a beetle business here." The other languages in the remake restore this mention.
