- This is the first episode to take place in a video game before "Pacmania".
- Mario is in World 8-4, the final level in Super Mario Bros., but the sprites are in the wrong game. Mario's sprite is from Super Mario World, Peach and Toad sprites are from Super Mario Bros. 2 that were from Super Mario All-Stars, and Bowser's Sprites are from Super Mario Bros..
- This is the first episode to feature video game characters. "Pacmania" would be next.
- Mario threw fire balls in his regular form but in the games when Mario is Fire Mario he can shoot fire balls.
- Orange saying Mario shoots boogers when he throws fireballs is a reference to how his arm is near his nose when he shoots.
- The Mystery Orange Button from "Flower Power!" and "In the Dark" takes the viewer to this episode.
- When Mario says Orange is like a "big orange Rick Moranis," he is referring to the famous actor who starred in classic films like Spaceballs and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
- After Mario gets shrunk, Oranges says ""Woah! Spaghetti-Os is bite-sized!". Amazingly, there is an enemy from Donkey Kong Country named Bitesize, it is likely is a coincidence.
