"Flies out of power conduits with lots of energy and... Hectic! Energetic! Electric! That's its slogan."

Trivia

• The Short Circuit Zap's Japanese name is a pun on rōden, short circuit or electrical discharge, denba, electric field, and bashi, onomatopoeia for crackling.
• The Short Circuit Zap and Surprise Box are the only non-boss enemies in the Thunder Tower that can't be called in to battle by the Porky Bots.
