==Trivia==
*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.
