*The Sector Y level has many armies of mechs similar to many of the mobile suits from the anime franchise ''Mobile Suit Gundam'', for their beam rifles, shields and mobility. They can even be launched out from battleships in battle. One red-colored mech is said by Peppy to be very quick. This is a reference to ''Char Aznable'' because all of his mobile suits are red and have high mobility (hence his name, "The Red Comet"). Not only that, the boss however aside from the first two colored mechs is known to be white and launched from its own launch ship is a homage and resemblance to the ''RX-78-2 Gundam'' which is also from the same series. | *The Sector Y level has many armies of mechs similar to many of the mobile suits from the anime franchise ''Mobile Suit Gundam'', for their beam rifles, shields and mobility.
