* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference:
** In ''Pizzeria'', Robby and Allan were fairly normal people with normal clothes and hairstyles. Come ''Taco Mia'', and they have changed a lot since their absence in ''Burgeria'', particularly because they became closers.
*** Robby now has a more pirate-themed look to him, with a red bandanna, an anchor print on his shirt, and a tougher-looking facial expression. This symbolizes his days trapped in a desert island.
*** Allan now has a unibrow, a pompadour hairstyle, a missing tooth, and evil-looking eyes. The latter, however, has been dropped in ''Freezeria'', and his later appearances as a closer has his normal eyes intact. This symbolizes his days in Oniontown, being a frequent bully victim by high schoolers there.
