Trivia

• Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
  • Japanese: せなかと体の横に大きなトゲがならんでいる草食恐竜だ。こしも大きなほねの板で守られている。
  • English: A herbivore with large spikes on its back and sides. Its hips are protected by large bony plates, too.
  • Taiwanese: 背部與身體側面有著大刺的草食恐龍，腰也被大大的骨板保護著。
• DS Game Encyclopedia entry: TBD
• In the DS game, it is the only Supply Droid Dinosaur never to be the only Dinosaur on a Supply Droid's team at least somewhere. Fukuisaurus was alone in Europe and Fukuiraptor in Asia, but they were together as a duo in North America, Gastonia joining to make it a trio in Antarctica and all postgame areas.
