This is the first season finale where only Blaze, AJ, Crusher and Pickle appear.
Gabby, Stripes, Starla, Darington and Zeg don't appear in this episode.
Going by production order, this is the sixteenth episode of the second season.
During the STEM song, two trucks are shown playing Truckball, the sport that Blaze and almost all of his friends played throughout Truckball Team-Up; though Stripes did not appear there.
Crusher didn't bother to do any cheating (aside from Auto-Vac) nor despise Blaze in this episode. In fact, this is the third time Crusher needs help.
This is the first time that one of Crusher's inventions stays intact by the end of an episode. Normally, after a certain period of time, they either self-destruct or get destroyed by Blaze.
This is the second time Pickle spends the whole episode with Blaze after The Team Truck Challenge.
This is the first time a birthday appears in the series.
When Auto-Vac puts everything back where they belong, the pigs’ oinking when the mud is returned is the same as Zippy’s oinking in Piggy 500.
This is the last episode to have the full-length making Season 2 the last to not have any cliffhanger fade-outs.
Crusher was the only Monster Machine to be sucked up.
All the items that Auto-Vac sucked up are:
Garbage
Fountain water
A ball
A mailbox
A picnic
Crusher himself
Muddy shoes
Icky socks
Underpants
A manhole cover
Hay
Tomatoes
Mud
The bulls’ gate door
Pancakes
Pizza
Spaghetti and meatballs
The birthday party (almost)
This is the second time AJ says the parts’ names with Blaze during the transformation sequence after Sneezing Cold.
If you look closely during the shot where Auto-Vac is heading back to Axle City, the Monster Dome can be seen (in the background).
The captions list “Auto-Vac” as “Autovac”.
Running Gags[]
Pickle mentioning something he never did before, then says, "But, you know what they say: You never know what you can do until you try."
Auto-Vac sucking things up and dirtying Crusher even more.
Allusions[]
Goofs[]
When the trucks at the birthday party see Auto-Vac coming, Auto-Vac is just one block away, but later on it's several blocks away.
Some of the things Auto-Vac sucks up disappear a few shots later.
Pickle claims he and Crusher never done a giant loop before, but in the previous episode The Wishing Wheel, they see a giant loop and use tire rockets to get through it. It's most likely possible that this could take place before that episode.
Auto-Vac wouldn't have sucked the water from the fountain because the water could short it out.
In the shot when Auto-Vac sucks up a manhole cover, Blaze and Pickle have switched places.
When Pickle says “And Pickle!” the captions say “And blast off!”
When Blaze says “All right!” after transforming, the captions say “Great!”
