Behind the scenes

 * The attack of the robot dog is a parody of the 1984 film The Terminator.
 * Scooby and Velma demanded that Shaggy choose between them in the previous episode, "Battle of the Humungonauts."
 * Jason Wyatt is named after the production manager of the series.
 * The way Pericles gets his visitors' attention is the same as Hannibal Lecter from the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs.
 * Velma says "Jinkies" once.
 * The Crysta Cove News has a page on the gang foiling Raffalo, which occurred in "Beware the Beast from Below."
 * Sheriff Stone answers the phone as Sheriff Bronson Stone, putting emphasis on Bronson, but in "Dead Justice," his first name is revealed to be actually Sheriff.
 * When the Mystery Machine runs out of gas, Daphne asks beforehand if the engine is missing again, which happened in "The Creeping Creatures."
 * The Netflix stream cuts out the title card.
 * Special thanks are given to Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, not because they worked on this episode, but because they created Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

Errors

 * Is the newspaper photo of Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma having a good time supposed to be intentionally ironic?

Marketing and promotion
The episode inspired the tenth stage of Cartoon Network to update their online game, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: Crystal Cove Online, which was updated at the time of the episode's release.
