Trivia
- Players of the Splatoon Global Testfire who pre-ordered Splatoon were temporarily given the Red Hi-Horses as part of a then-exclusive set of gear. It did not carry over into the full game, however, since the Global Testfire did not create save files.
- They are worn by Headphones (New Team Blue) in the Splatoon manga.
