*'''Taranza is not female.''' This is an uncommon misconception, as it is generally understood by most that Taranza is male, but as he is designed to be androgynous, it can be difficult to discern.<ref>{{cite|His mechanically-altered voice was designed with the image of an androgynous young spider.|[[Shinya Kumazaki]]|[[List of HAL Laboratory Miiverse posts - Kirby Fighters Deluxe / Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe|Miiverse]]}}</ref> Notably, the Brazilian Portuguese localization named him "Tarângela", derived from the feminine name "Ângela", which may indicate confusion on their part as well.
