  • The three headed dragon is from "Octi Evil."
  • Some of the monsters were copied from ones seen in Professor Utonium's hologram room in "Bubblevicious."
  • When Mojo is blasted out of his suit, he holds up a sign that reads "Curses" in a similar manner that the silent Wile E. Coyote would do when he held up a sign that read "Ouch" after getting hurt from a fall or explosion.
  • Blossom gained her ice breath in "Ice Sore."
  • The truck driver that Blossom saves is from "Mime for a Change."
  • Lenny Baxter was the villain in "Collect Her."
