* ActorAllusion: In one episode, Escargoon is reading Dedede his fortune, which says "If you go looking for trouble, make it double" very similar line to one in [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Team Rocket's Motto, of which Ted Lewis, who played Escargoon also played the original James]].

* HeyItsThatVoice: [=4Kids'=] habit of reusing the same voice actors leads to Coo the owl sounding like [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Professor Oak]], and the Mayor sounding like [[VideoGame/SonicGenerations Dr. Robotnik]].

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: This series only really received a handful of VHS/DVD released from 2002-2008, all in all not counting multiple releases and counting the Fright to the Finish movie which is the final 5 episodes merged into a single film with a bonus episode as a special feature, and counting the 3 episodes included on the 20th anniversary Wii game, which also includes the first episode, which as mentioned before has been released at least twice, only 25 episodes out of 100 have ever gotten a DVD release in America, literally only 25% of the series has ever been released. This series is semi-reliant on continuity and a lot of key episodes haven't even been released! Especially in the movies case where we see several characters from episodes not even on DVD!
