Trivia

 * The Turbo Roader, among a few other enemies, would have appeared in Mega Man: The Power Battle, but they were removed before game release. This is probably an unfinished concept for bosses having aid of small enemies, which was used in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters. It would probably have supported Turbo Man.


 * An enemy in the Mega Man Star Force series, HotRoader, is essentially the series variant. However, the Roader is visually a pun on "speed demon", and is out of the usual model for Roaders.


 * Ride Boarski may have been inspired by the Crash Roaders.


 * A similar enemy, also called a Roader, appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.


 * Twin Roader made a cameo at the top right corner of the Robot Museum's entrance in Mega Man 7.
