However, he gets distracted from mistaking a random speck in the air for Yankee Doodle Pigeon, and chases after it before he can do so.
  • Discontinuity Nod: One that becomes important to the plot: Calypso's ride in this episode is his Soviet mobile missile launcher from his playable appearance in the non-canon Twisted Metal 4. The important thing about his vehicle is the NUKE on top of it, which he gets to use two of late in the episode.

  • Instant Turn-Off: When Barbie is giving Verosika cunnilingus, Verosika calls Barbie better than her brother Blitz. The mere mention of Barbie's brother, even when being compared better than him, gets Barbie to immediately stop what she was doing and leave in a huff.
  • Joke Character: Jefferson Davis, who spends the episode getting humiliated or injured in every scene he's in, and gets treated with no respect by any of the cast.

  • Ludicrous Gibs: When a spinner kills Gyro, is spins his body into chunks.
  • Meaningless Villain Victory: What occurs to both of the remaining contestants left at the end of the episode:
    • For Calypso, while he gets the wish, poor wording on his end doesn't get him the desired result he wanted, thus wasting it.
    • And for Soundwave, while he's declared the overall victor of the episode, his victory is moot as Calypso stole his wish, thus he's unable to bring Blaster back to life. As a consolation prize however he and his Mini-Cons are sent to Treehollow.
  • Minecart Madness: The first track the race is on Wario's Gold Mine, a place that's filled to the brim with bats, sharp turns, and Bottomless Pits.
  • Mythology Gag: Wreck-it-Ralph admitting he never expected to be back into racing. Which not only references the movies, but it also doubles as a reference to his playable appearance in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
    • When the Joker gazes at Calypso's nuke, he comes up with the idea of taking it and pranking Superman with it.

  • No One Could Survive That!: After Calypso fires his nuke on Rainbow Road, which kills most of the remaining contestants presumably the White Fatalis, and he and Soundwave make it to the Nexus, he demands that he's the one to be given the wish since he killed the Fatalis, with Soundwave disagreeing. Before the two can argue some more on it, Calypso notices a second portal opening, revealing itself to be the White Fatalis. Covered in radioactive flames and half of its face burnt, but alive and PISSED as all hell.

  • Precision F-Strike: After Soundwave and Calypso reach the Nexus, Soundwave tells the Lakitu to contact Baskerra, Calypso yells at them to "HOLD THE HELL UP!", demanding to get the wish since he killed the White Fatalis and doesn't want Soundwave to get it because of a portal opening up just before he could get killed by his nuke.

  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Late into the race, fatigue begins to set in for several contestants, with them ready to sleep at any moment.
  • Take That!: Jefferson Davis is given no mercy in this episode for being the president of the Confederacy, as every scene he's in ends with him humiliated, especially when he attempts to say the N-word. The narration even calls him slightly more useless than Quentin Trembley when he's introduced.
  • Team Killer: In the Sea of Rust, The Joker kicks Lex out of their team's Mean Machine and onto the track, where he's then run over by Wreck-it-Ralph.

  • Uncertain Doom: When Stella's carriage gets destroyed by the White Fatalis, her butlers and Nightmare horses are sent hurtling off the edge, but they managed to pack parachutes.
