* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Carmen's statement that stealing isn't a game can be a reference to the franchise's start as edutainment software. Her followup that it does in fact hurt people could also be a subtle rejection of how the franchise has traditionally ignored the harm crime could cause.

* UltimateUniverse: This take on Carmen blends elements from all the prior versions (Chase Devineaux from the late-90s Broderbund games, Jules Argent from the 2000s Learning Company games, the Player from the mid-90s cartoon, and even the theme song seems to take cues from Rockapella's in the 90s game show) while taking new directions of its own.

** Chase Devineaux was originally an American in the games he appeared, here he's French.
** Julia 'Jules' Argent (from ''Treasures of Knowledge'' and ''The Secret of the Stolen Drums'') is somewhat more ambiguous as while she appears Asian and was born in Hong Kong, she spoke with an American accent. The novelization makes her out to be half-British and half-Chinese.

''Carmen Sandiego'' is a ContinuityReboot of the long-running [[Franchise/CarmenSandiego educational game and TV show franchise]], with a big twist to the formula: this time Carmen (Creator/GinaRodriguez) is the hero, turning against V.I.L.E. after growing disillusioned with their willingness to hurt or kill people, and attempting to beat them to any artifacts they plan to steal. Assisting her as always is The Player (Creator/FinnWolfhard) who acts as MissionControl from his computer.
