Trivia[]
- His vehicle has some resemblance to the Ecto-1 mobile from Ghostbusters. The vehicle would later be used in Twisted Metal (2012) but renamed Meat Wagon (which is also one of the vehicles from Rogue Trip.)
- Schiz O'Manic shares some similarities to Ripper Roo from Crash Bandicoot series:
- They are both insane, wear straitjackets and have insane laughter.
- They both drive vehicles with their feet.
- Schiz O'Manic's name is a combination of "schizophrenia" and "maniac."
- When selected, he will just laugh maniacally.
- The lightning special pays homage to Outlaw, a police car from Twisted Metal who had a similar attack. Though it is also possible that Ozone's special weapon could be a reference to Electrconvulsive Therapy, or ECT, a medical treatment in which small electrical currents are passed through the brain, causing a brief seizure in hopes of relieving certain symptoms of some mental health problems.
