==Notes==
*Nearly all of Gotchard's forms feature goggles or a visor in some form on the forehead.
*The goggles with attached antennae and mouth plate on the forehead of Kamen Rider Gotchard Steamhopper resemble Kamen Rider 1's face.
*Due to the limited budget, many of Gotchard's forms only appear in their Wild Modes, while several others only appear in Rider Mode.https://twitter.com/toei_gotchard52/status/1696156000137409023https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/gotchard/03/ For the suits that don't appear on-screen as Rider Mode, concept art of what they would look like can be found on the Gotchard File app, provided the corresponding Ride Chemy Trading Cards are scanned.
*Gotchard is one of the very few Riders whose suit design regularly uses reflective chrome for many of his forms. Most previous Riders either used chrome sparingly or omitted it altogether, instead opting for a flat metallic finish.
*Gotchard Appareskebow bears resemblance to , which has been indirectly acknowledged by Kamen Rider Official.https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/gotchard/04/
*The following of Gotchard's forms consists of retools and recolors of previous suits:
**Venommariner's forearms are retooled from the Senpuki Halfbody's arm fan, though it is on both arms instead of one.
**Burninggorilla's gauntlets are heavily retooled from Kamen Rider Vulcan Punching Kong.
**Dokkirishovel's shoulder pads are repainted from Venommariner, while the gauntlets are heavily retooled from Kamen Rider Revi Kong Genome, with the fists replaced by shovels.
**Hiikesurose's shoulders are repainted from Burninggorilla while the forearms are further retooled from Venomariner.
**Marsphoenix's shoulder pads are repainted from the FourzeArmor, while the gauntlets are repainted from the Newton Damashii Gloves.
**The concept art of Energymaru's Rider Mode once again uses recolored versions of Venommariner's shoulder pads.
**The concept art of Smahotaru's Rider Mode reuses the phone shield from Kamen Rider Build SmaphoWolf.
**The CGI model used for Gotchard Batkingrobo's Wild Mode is heavily modified from King of Arthur of Kamen Rider Saber
**The concept art of Bunnyparka's Rider Mode reuses the forearms of Kamen Rider Build's RabbitRabbit Form but slightly modified.
**Gotchard Exceed Mighty's left shoulder pad is repainted from the FaizArmor, while the forearms are repainted from the Ghost Riders. The same forearms were were also used for Cyclone Tatoba.
**Gotchard Cyclone Tatoba's shoulders are retooled from Kamen Rider WozGingaFinaly.
**Gotchard FullFull Rocket's shoulders are repainted from Kamen Rider Zi-O DecadeArmor's shoulders, while the gantlets are repainted from the Crushing Buffalo Raider.
*Many of Gotchard's forms reuse the same chest armor mold but in different colors, though an additional detail is often attached above the furnace. These forms include all of the forms that appear in the TV series but only appear in their Rider Mode, such as Venommariner; all of the Legend Rider forms; and several of the forms that are only shown in Rider Mode via concept art on the Gotchard File app.
*Gotchard Doctorhebi is currently the only Wild Mode to use both 2D animated artwork and a 3D model, with the snake being 2D and the pot being 3D.
*Gotchard Bulletchoucho and Bunnyparka are currently the only Wild Modes to be depicted using physical props instead of a 3D model or animated artwork.
*Premium Bandai Fashion announced the pre-order of the Bunnyparka hoodie jacket after the airing of Episode 11https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000203136
*Fire Gotchard's forms are the same as their original incarnations with the exception of the new torso armor, thruster assembly on the back, and forearm armor as well as a modified helmet.
*The working title for Iron Gotchard's design was .
**Iron Gotchard's design was based on the robot design from , a 1999 Japanese mecha-anime television serieshttps://www.kamen-rider-official.com/gotchard/26/.
*Platina Gotchard's name comes from the Japanese loan word for , which originates from the Spanish platina, as it was discovered by Spanish Conquistadors in the 1700s during their invasion of South America. 
*Platina is a diminutive of the spanish word for silver, plata (essentially meaning small silver) as the Spanish Conquistadors disregarded its value as they considered the metal a nuisance because it interfered with their gold mining activities, ironically considering the more valuable metal as worthless.https://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=1210#:~:text=By%20the%20end%20of%20the,with%20their%20gold%20mining%20activities. This could be referenced by the duality of Hotaro and Glion. Glion, who is obsessed with turning everything into gold, disregards the individual personality and will of the chemies due to them having "artificial souls". Hotaro on the other hand, befriends the chemies and understands the true value of the chemies, therefore transforming into a form that is themed around platinum after Crosshopper took back the Gotchardriver.
*Gotchard's Legend Rider-based forms feature a helmet that combines the two Legend Rider's helmets. The forms are also primarily gold colored, mirroring Kamen Rider Legend.
*Gotcharbrother variants of Gotchard's forms share the same suits, but have rainbow-colored Vector Eyes and a rainbow scarf. The furnace on their chests also gain a similar pattern to Rainbow Gotchard. Another big point is that the Chemies that are transmuted share the body, and their voices also come out.
*Miracle Gotchard is a recolor of the Steamhopper suit, but with the torso piece from Rainbow Gotchard.
*Gotchard Shining Daybreak adds new torso armor, applies purple extensions on the helmet, and partially colors the muffler purple.
