Trivia[]
- E-123 Omega is the only member of Team Dark not to be classified as a Dark Type in the original Sonic Runners, being classified as a Mech Type instead.
- However, this was changed in Sonic Runners Adventure as he is classified as a Dark Type in that game.
- The Dark Type characters receiving Halloween costumes may be a reference to the antihero qualities Team Dark is renowned for.
