Gabby, Stripes, Starla, Darington, Zeg and Watts don't appear in this episode.
This is the first episode of Season 4 where only Blaze, AJ, Crusher and Pickle appear, and the twelfth overall.
This is the third time someone other than Blaze read the title card, in this case, Pickle and his family members. The first was Darington in Darington to the Moon! and The Chicken Circus!, and the second was Pegwheel in Treasure Track, and is the second episode in a row to do so.
The title card is also in green letters instead of the usual orange to match Pickle and his relatives' colors.
This is also the only episode where more than one person reads the episode title.
This is the second time Blaze transforms at the very beginning without any viewer participation after The Hundred Mile Race.
Pickle uses Blazing Speed for the fourth time since Catch That Cake! back in Season 3, and the first time in the new animation style.
This is the second time someone mistaken their tummy rumbling for the ground shaking. In this case it's Grandpa. The first time happened to Starla in Cattle Drive.
This is probably the shortest time Blaze is seen in his regular Monster Machine form. He is only seen normal for the first few seconds he appears, then transforms into a tow truck and remains in that form for the rest of the episode. Also, this may be the only time Blaze transforms without the interface.
This is the last episode to premiere before Nick Jr.'s 2018 rebrand.
There was no viewer interaction for about the first five minutes of the episode, making this the longest an episode has gone from the start without such.
Pickle excited to use a heavy load only to ask what it is is similar to Treasure Track when Pegwheel realized he didn’t have enough combustion only to ask what it is.
This is the first appearance of a baby in the series, not counting animals. In this case it's Baby Gherkin.
Unlike past episodes where Pickle sings (off-key or half-singing), this is the first episode where he sings perfectly.
This is the first episode that Pickle doesn't take part of Crusher’s subplot. The second is Pickleworld!
Because of that, Baby Gherkin actually replaces Pickle's position in the subplot.
Coincidentally, the same character takes Pickle’s role in that episode.
Pickle has viewer interaction for the first time.
This is the second episode where Crusher’s subplot has only two scenes instead of three after Light Riders.
The book Crusher is seen reading is the same one he balanced on a barbell from The Chicken Circus!.
This episode has one of the largest guest counts in casting, with six guest actors voicing Pickle's family.
Running Gags[]
Pickle tells his family he'll find them even if he has to search long enough, but before he can finish the sentence, the missing relative(s) yell(s), "I'm/We're over here!", followed by Pickle saying "Oh, that was fast."
Grandpa forgetting to put his glasses on and mistaking where he is and what he has for something else.
Gherkin teasing Crusher by taking Pickle's marshmallows away.
Whenever a member of Pickle’s family is rescued, either he or another rescued member would hug him/her.
Allusions[]
The behaviors of Ben, Ken and Sven are similar to Donald Duck’s nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie of the Mickey Mouse franchise. Also, the colors of their hats (red, orange and yellow, respectively) even match the colors they wore in the early series.
The way Baby Gherkin talks is similar to how Elmer Fudd talks in the Looney Tunes franchise.
Frilly seeing a "mountain" and AJ's line "That's no mountain, it's a volcano!" is inspired by the line "That's no moon, that's a space station" from Star Wars: A New Hope.
For some reason, it is unknown why Crusher is at the campout, despite not being part of Pickle's family. He could've been either invited, or just invited himself.
When Blaze says, "I'll pull you out of there!", the captions read it as "I'll put you out of there".
When this episode premiered on Nick Jr.com, the last few seconds of the first part were cut off. This was fixed about two weeks later.
When Blaze and Pickle come to the swamp and Tilly yells Pickle's name, the captions read it as Crusher's name.
During most of the episode, the catchlights on Blaze's eyes are on the wrong side.
