Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go![]
Shortly after the Seiba brothers left a virtual racing simulator in Dr. Tsuchiya's lab, they found out that someone has been broken into the lab and stolen the Super Avante. In the end, they retrieved the Super Avante despite it being damaged; losing a front right wheel and the front right bumper parts.
In the anime version, it was two armed thugs hired by Dr. Ogami who stole the Super Avante, while in the manga, it was someone from an undisclosed rival company.
Let's & Go! Tsubasa: The Next Racers[]
Shun Daichi, one of the main characters and a member of the Team Pegasus, owns a Super Avante RS, which he uses since the founding of the team.
Unfortunately, Shun's Super Avante was heavily damaged by the Black Brocken G Team to the point it stop functioning. This event eventually led him getting the Cosmosonic from Retsu.
Unlike the original Super Avante in the Let's & Go! series, Shun's Super Avante was a mass-produced model (as is in real-life), but was heavily tuned and matching that of Tsubasa's Z Wing Magnum in terms of overall performance.

Trivia[]
- The Super Avante, along with Avante X and Avante Mk.III, are the only Avante Mini 4WD cars without a radio control counterparts.
- The Super Avante was initially created for Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go!, hence the lack of a radio control counterpart; however, later re-releases omit the Let's & Go! fact; the sticker packet in the RS version also omitted the KOSHITA/SHOGAKUKAN copyright.
- The Super Avante is the only car that has multiple SK Japan special re-release, dubbed Ifrit (available in 4 colors), Legend Style (available in 2 colors) and Legend Style Next (available in 2 colors). Both versions use VS Chassis, so does a special edition of the car celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Korean branch of Tamiya.
- The Super Avante MIni 4WD car is not to be confused with an Tamiya R/C buggy bearing the same name.
