Blaze encounters pinching crabs again; he previously encountered them in Rocket Ski Rescue.
This is the first time all the main racing Monster Machines compete in a race together since The Polar Derby in Season 3.
During the STEM song, the disco truck from Meatball Mayhem appears.
Similar to Race to the Top of the World, each Monster Machine's leitmotif plays in the background as Bump introduces them.
The Monster Machines are shown to stay up past midnight since they're legal adults and are allowed to do so.
Instead of different letter color change or a character reading the title card, there is a light blue glow around the title card to reference this episode taking place at midnight.
The same identical meatball restaurant from Meatball Mayhem appears during the travel song.
This is the second time the Monster Machines jump a bridge gap after Crusher opens it, the first being Race to the Top of the World.
This is the final episode produced in 2018 according to the end credits.
Running Gags[]
Whenever Pickle reads a bedtime story foreshadowing events of the race, Crusher ignores it before it actually happens.
Allusions[]
The Monster Machines jumping in front of the moon mimics the famous bike scene from E.T.
Goofs[]
For an odd reason, the Monster Machines never use their speed lights throughout the race even though the track was lit, despite using them for racing in the dark in Light Riders with the track lit the same way. Though it could be either that this probably took place before they received them, or weren't actually allowed to use them in this episode.
Another strange reason is Blaze and his friends all have taillights, yet they don't turn on when they stop. Blaze also has fog lights on his roof, and he strangely doesn't use them to find his friends trapped under the trash. It could be also possible that they aren't as strong as the spotlight.
During the STEM song as trucks are shown dancing on a dance floor, if you look closely as Blaze's friends dance behind them Darington can be seen instead of Stripes, when he shouldn't be with them until a few minutes later.
The Dinocoaster is nowhere to be seen at the carnival, despite opening there in Dinocoaster. But it might be because they must've took it down (like the Monster Dome's pits).
When Gabby is shown turning Watts' electric tires on, her seatbelt is positioned the wrong way and has the color scheme of Blaze's.
During the travel song when the Monster Machines jump in front of the moon, Crusher is with Stripes when jumping, but when the camera cuts to the moon he jumps with Zeg.
Crusher only wakes up five crabs, but when they chase Blaze there are more than five. It could be possible they were off camera when Crusher woke them up.
The sandwich machine that Blaze activates does not actually exist in real-life, and such style of machine is not proper for making sandwiches.
Though it's possible that it was only made for the series/episode.
In the travel song as Blaze approaches the loop-de-loop, Crusher is shown just entering the loop before him, but in the next shot, Crusher is already on the other side.
In the STEM song as the Monster Machines jump through a lighted hoop, one of the bulbs is superimposed over Zeg's lower tire.
In the travel song, the captions do not put the music note symbol on the first two instances of “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go”.
When Zeg says “Yippee” after being introduced by Bump, the captions list it as “Pick me”.
