## Skins

 A palette change to the skin, lightening her hair to a softer shade of brown. Her hat changes to a tan color, with all the red and pink on her swimsuit changing to blue and white, respectively.

## Tips

* When "Double Water Jets" has been unlocked, the vertical water jet will home in on the first available target within range, and will remain there for the duration of its use. Due to this, it is best to wait until the desired target has become stationary prior to activation.

## Trivia

* Swimsuit Iris' Japanese name is Summer Love Iris (愛夏のアイリス).
* When comparing the models of Swimsuit Iris to normal Iris, the former's head and bodily proportions are noticeably smaller than the latter.
* During gameplay, her beach ball's texture has a cartoony-rendition of Zero's face on it. This does not appear during her character introduction, and does not change with her alternate palette.
* The skill "Beach Ball" is named Seaside Dream in Japanese (浜辺の夢).
* The skill "Core Crystal" is named Water Fun Dream in Japanese (水遊の夢).
* Swimsuit Iris' passive skill seems to be rival of Swimsuit Layer's, perhaps suggesting them as rivals to win over Zero's heart.
* The passive "Cute Bathing Suit" is named Summer Love Charm in Japanese (愛夏のチャーム).
* The passive "I won't lose..." is named Steel Wall Block in Japanese (鉄壁ブロック), which the English version is the same as Chinese version, a possible homage to the intro theme song from Rockman/ Mega Man X4 (負けないの愛が、きっとある…).
* The passive "Bouncy Ball" is named Unofficial Ball in Japanese (非公式ボール).
* The passive "Double Water Jet" is named Additional Core in Japanese (追加コア).
