Trivia

  • According to the first datamines, the Moto Boots would have Quick Super Jump as their main ability. This was changed before release.
  • At one point in Splatoon's development, Octolings' footwear looked very similar to the Moto Boots, with three straps on the side and pieces of metal on the end. This was briefly shown in a pre-release trailer for Octo Valley.[1]
