Trivia

 * Tango is a genre of music and a dance style is Argentina's musical symbol.
 * In the CD data of Tango, his good point being "Rolling-stone" is probably based on the famous 60's Rock Band "The Rolling Stones." It could also be a reference to the way Tango attacks.
 * Tango dislikes Rush, more than likely because Tango is a cat-robot and Rush is a dog-robot.
 * Tango also has a similar upside helmet of Mega Man's
 * Tango's distaste for pitfalls stems from the rolling nature of his attack- Tango rolls along the ground, and therefore cannot cross pitfalls, instead falling into them and ceasing his attack prematurely.
