1* ActingForTwo:
2** Barnie Duncan played Toby and once again reprised his role from ''S.P.D.'' as Piggy.
3** Hirokazu Iwakami portrayed Koraag, the Green Mystic Ranger and the Solaris Knight.
4** Jun Yamashita played the Pink and White Mystic Rangers.
5* CastTheRunnerUp: Firass Dirani and Richard Brancatisano, who played Nick and Xander respectively, actually tried out for each other's parts.
6* DawsonCasting: Madison's actress Melanie Vallejo was 26 during the show's run.
7* FakeAmerican: Firass Dirani, Melanie Vallejo and Angie Diaz are Australian, and Nic Sampson, Peta Rutter, Creator/AntoniaPrebble and [[spoiler: Chris Graham]] are New Zelanders. Notably averted for Australian Richard Brancatisano and New Zealander John Tui, who were allowed to use their natural accents in the show (Richard's character was specifically stated to be an Australian who moved to the States, while it's often thought that John did so to vocally distinguish Daggeron from [[Series/PowerRangersSPD Doggie]].)
8* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Xander, the standout in a cast of [[FakeAmerican Fake Americans]]; eventually explained as him being a native Aussie.
9* TheOtherDarrin: A pity they couldn't get Creator/BarbaraGoodson to voice the Mystic Mother again. (Also technically counts as TheOriginalDarrin the physical side: since this is supposed to be [[spoiler:Rita Repulsa after having been purified by Zordon's Z-wave]], Creator/MachikoSoga replaces ''her'' Other Darrin, Carla Perez.)
10* RecursiveImport: This series was only the second Disney Era series to be dubbed in Japan (about five or so years after it was first released, to boot), but unlike in the case of ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'', the ''Magiranger'' actors didn't voice their counterparts. However, Atsushi Hashimoto, who played Kai Ozu/[=MagiRed=], narrated the dub.
11* RomanceOnTheSet: Like their characters, Firass Dirani and Melanie Vallejo dated for a while.
12* ToylessToylineCharacter: [[NoExportForYou But only in the US]]; the Centaurus Wolf Megazord, Koragg's combined Megazord form with his horse Catastros, never got a deluxe toy released in the US. The closest thing is DX [=WolKaiser=] from the (Japanese) ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger'' toyline.
13* UnfinishedEpisode: A crossover with ''[[Series/PowerRangersSPD S.P.D.]]'' was considered, but due to Disney trimming the episode order from 38 to 32, it was scrapped. The closest thing was a cameo from Piggy from the previous series.
14* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/PowerRangers Enough for its own page]]
15* YouLookFamiliar:
16** Three examples are hard to spot - Barnie Duncan and John Tui, previously Piggy and "Doggie" Cruger in ''S.P.D.'', are virtually unrecognizable without their heavy prosthetics in the roles of Toby and Daggeron, apart from their distinctive voices. And Kelson Henderson is ''completely'' unrecognizable under prosthetics, hideous dentures and a different voice in the role of Phineas. Mystic Mother is ''almost'' this, sharing an actress with [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Rita Repulsa]], but it's explained they're one and the same.
17** Another easy-to-spot one with Creator/AntoniaPrebble (Clare), who previously played two minor characters over the prior two years: Krista, "the tree girl" and Conner's prom date in ''[[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]]'', and the Nova Ranger in the ''S.P.D.'' finale.
18** Much like John Tui playing both characters, in the Japanese dub, Creator/TetsuInada voiced "Doggie" Cruger in ''S.P.D.'' and Daggeron in ''Mystic Force''.
19** In the Japanese dub, Yosuke Ito (Snow Prince) previously played Bridge Carson in the dub of ''S.P.D.''
