==Trivia==
*The Gemini Orbitars are based on Castor and Pollux, figures of Greek mythology known as "the twins". Castor was said to be a mortal, while Pollux was immortal due to them having two different fathers, one of which was the god Zeus.
*The Paw Pad Orbitars may have been inspired by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s love for cats. The Idol description for them says the bouncing shots are like "excited kittens."
*The first sentence of the Idol description for the Fairy Orbitars makes a reference to [[zeldawiki:Navi|Navi]] from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.''
