Trivia
- Zinoto is known for wearing his signature scarf to all the Smash tournaments he attends: a burgundy, knitted one with his gamer tag and the University of Michigan logo embroidered on it. He also commonly wears a newsboy hat.
- Zinoto plays secondaries in Brawl for the sole purpose of not having to play the Diddy Kong ditto as it is his least favorite matchup.
- Zinoto has a twin brother (who goes by the gamer tag ????).
