Partners in Danger Chapter 8: The Return of the Green Goblin - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: When the Green Goblin is first confronted by Spider-Man, he is riding his regular glider. Then after he pushes Spider-Man down onto the roof, one shot show him riding the larger glider.





Answer: I believe it was just a way to try and show the suit is "oily" or reflective. It also helps define the character's features since otherwise, he'd just be a flat black color. It's similar to how the black suit Spidey had blue outlines. (I don't know why they chose a pink/red color... maybe because red is associated with power/fire/war, so it's a more "evil" color?)
