Although Crusher referenced Sparkle as Blaze's sister in The Blaze Family, he says Sparkle's name for the first time in this episode.
Stripes also said Sparkle's name for the first time.
The concept of filling a badge was also seen in Fired Up!.
Crusher's odd toppings subplot is similar to the odd snacks subplot from Raceday Rescue.
After Crusher breaks the bridge, he somehow stays where he is laughing, without even bothering to reach the finish. This also happened in Race to the Top of the World too as well.
Running Gags[]
Like Raceday Rescue, Pickle gives Crusher silly food that makes him surprised.
