Video Game Heroes Trivia

S5E16 Dragon flies over Blaze and AJ

Trivia[]

  • Gabby, Stripes, Starla, Darington, Zeg and Watts do not appear.
  • This is the second episode with the word "Heroes" in it after Babysitting Heroes.
  • This is the first time video games are introduced in the series.
  • Going by production order, this is the eighteenth episode of the fifth season.
  • This is the first episode to premiere at 11:30 since Light Riders, back in 2017.
  • This is the second time Blaze and AJ have rode on a dragon since Ninja Soup.
  • When Blaze jumps up to pop the bubble with the Magic Key inside, his horn has a more video game-like sound.
  • The title for the episode appears the same way the title of a video game would.
  • There was no transformation in this episode, in its place where the weapon construction sequences. And instead of Blaze saying "I'm a (noun) Monster Machine!", he says "We made a Monster Machine (weapon)!".
  • This is the fourth episode with no transformations after Power Tires, AJ to the Rescue and Blazing Amazing Stories.
  • This episode premiered after a 3-month hiatus since Space Alien Adventure!, back in July.
    • The Gold Medal Games was supposed to premiere, but was pulled from airing due to being vaguely similar to the Olympic Games which were postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Beginning with this episode, the show now airs episodes in an 11:30 timeslot, with PAW Patrol taking its original 12:00 PM slot, along with Blues Clues and You! at 11:00 and the new series Santiago of the Seas at 12:30.
  • While looking for the hiding key, the splat on what color the key is on AJ's tablet is the splat of the original Nickelodeon logo from early 2008-late 2009.

Running Gags[]

  • Pickle goes through a power shape to get cool powers, but when Crusher goes through them, he gets strange powers.

Allusions[]

  • This episode shares the title with Barbie: Video Game Hero.
    • Coincidentally, the Barbie franchise is owned by Mattel, who produce toys for Blaze and the Monster Machines through their Fisher-Price subsidiary.
  • Blaze builds his shape weapons in a very similar way to Geo from Team Umizoomi, a fellow Nick Jr. show.
  • The 3D pixel style in the video game is similar to Crossy Road.
