Trivia[]
- Brenda from "Christmas Evil" reappears as a cameo singing the same song.
- Robotboy is able to fly fast enough to not be seen or noticed by people, leaving behind just a smoke-trail that no one seems to notice or wonder about where it came from.
- This is the only episode where we see a snippet of Bambi's room. It's very pink and her bed has a lacy comforter. She has posters of some kind of singer and possibly a model on her wall and at least one window.
- This is also the only episode we see Bambi actually cheerleading.
- This is 1 of several times Robotboy Superactivates without the transformation sequence being shown. The other times are in "Metal Monster", "Christmas Evil", "Double Tommy", "Tummy Trouble", "Hair-A-Parent", "Auntie Gravitee and "Bowling for Dummies". "Tummy Trouble" and this episode being the only two where we hear the sequence but don't see it.
- This is the longest in the series the title card and writing credits take to appear.
- The same program Donnie was watching in "Christmas Evil" can be seen on TV.
- This is one of several times Constantine being from an orphanage is mentioned.
- Goof: When Tommy is reprimanding Ro for helping him win the tether ball tournament, he says, "Why did you do that? I told you I wanted this all to be over!" Unless this was done off-screen, Tommy didn't tell Robotboy this at all and had said to himself, "At least it'll all be over soon."
- Goof: Bambi uses pink pom-poms for most of the episode, but when the announcer is calling for Tommy to claim his prize, they're yellow. This seems to have been intentionally done for the gag of Dwight putting one of the pom-poms on Donnie's head to emulate Tommy's blonde hair.
