- In Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix his design was changed to resemble Employee 333-4-591032 more closely.
- He appears as a defense-type spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. His spirit battle takes place in the Spirit Train stage (a reference to Munchy Monk (Wii)). He is represented by a blue Ken who is distracted by items but has a powered-up Shoryuken (an uppercut-like move), and he is backed up by three white Kirbys (meant to represent dumplings).
