Release

Dates are in order of release:

United States: August 12, 2018 on Cartoon Network

Behind the scenes

The episode title is a play on the 1983 Bonnie Tyler song "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
This is double the length of a regular episode. It's made even more special by the end credits song being remixed.
The race is a parody of the Wacky Races TV series.
- The back half of Mojo's race car resembles the Mean Machine.
Butercup's has a need for going fast, which is a paraphrase of Maverick having a need for speed in the 1986 film Top Gun.
This is the only appearances of the Rowdyruff Boys in the reboot.
The Gnat hums "Flight of the Valkyries."
Bubbles spends most of the episode butchering Whitney Houston's song "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," but it's about about lunch, instead.
The mage resembles the Mayor.
Cartoon Network Video numbers this as episode eleven of season three.

Errors

The driver of the red truck isn't revealed.
The transformation of Jemoiré into Jemmica and the transition into her traveling Egypt is merged into one, making it look like ancient Townsville resembled Egypt.
