Orbinaut is one of the few enemies not featured in the North American or European manuals. The name "Orbinaut" first appeared in merchandise during the early 1990s.

A green variant that doesn't fire its spike balls can be found in Star Light Zone. In Japan, each version has its own name, the version that fires its spike balls is called Unidus, while the version that retains its spike balls is called Uni Uni.
