June 4, 2015 Lucas Mills and Clark Stubbs #120 Freezing Title Cards Trivia Being the first season, this is the only season of a few things: Like mentioned before, the only season with no six-episode miniseries until Season 5. The only season where Blaze uses Blazing Speed exclusively alone. The only season that was produced by Nerd Corps Entertainment until its shutdown in 2016. The only season to use Blaze's season 1 style. Starting with Fired Up! Blaze will use its season 2 style until Season 3's Tow Truck Tough. The only season to use AJ's Visor View in orange. Starting with Fired Up!. AJ's Visor View is not orange any more. The only season to show the Monster Machines' pits. A lot of the scenes in many episodes were slightly choppy for a moment in the digital releases of the season. Only releases on nickjr.com and its app were not affected. This is the first season to not have a holiday special.
