*The hat originally gave a full Speed Burst as seen in its announcement video. It also didn't give one at the start of levels, but this was altered during Motley Monday.
*As mentioned, the hat was first mentioned in June 2011 as an unnamed prize for everyone if Jiggmin's Folding@home team broke into the top 100. He announced that its name and ability would be revealed once they hit rank 105 after the team reached rank 110 later that November.Jiggmin's reply on "Global Domination: Breaking the top 100".
