Trivia/Notes:[]

  • The stock music heard at the beginning of the episode when Roostre escapes the World of Muck is called Acid Test by Micky Moody.
  • Insects can be heard chirping in the desert when Roostre comes out of the squishing mud of the World of Muck. He also inhales deeply.
  • The Kid is shown holding a wooden stick with a dead centipede on it when he encounters Roostre for the first time.
  • After being questioned by an unnamed kid about a "squirrel," meaning Skillet, Rooster describes the character as being a "chinchilla clip-art thing."
  • The screeching monster that the Kid kills has its blood splattering and heart thumping. The latter of which is shown growing bat-like wings to fly away.
  • Roostre reveals that he knows of a gymnast. She is never seen in the series.
  • Roostre mentioned that he got his hook from a hook store when the Kid asked about where he got his hook from. Although, Roostre did say he built the hook in "Pre-Reckoning."
  • When Peanut points his finger to another set of Jet-Skis, dramatic music plays when the screen pans to them.
  • When Peanut and Joe escape the prison via Jet-Skis, the engines of the Jet-Skis are heard buzzing while the wind is whistling. Four Pineapples are also shown falling out of the glass window Peanut and Joe broke out of.
    • The Jet-Skis even have the sounds of Metal clanking heard when Peanut and Joe fall out of the jail and bump onto its structure. Even humming into the ocean's waters.
  • The flashback that Fitz has is taken from "Invictus" when he and his friends were facing off Shark's Bow-Tie Bots.
  • Fitz can be heard echoing in a hallway of weapons when he, Eye, and Aria are going to get them to defeat the Tie-Bots.
  • Pieces of the now-destroyed T.O.P.A.Z. relic from "Adrift" reappears. Fitz is shown clicking on T.O.P.A.Z.'s rocket, which has a bell that chimes. He also destroys more of the Bow-Tie Bots with the bullet cannon.
  • When Aria, Eye, and Fitz are preparing to defeat the Bow-Tie Bots, stock music can be heard playing. This stock music in question is named Uprising by Erick Lee DeVore.
  • A video of Mouse, Aria, and Eye facing off the Tie-Bots was released on YouTube on June 11, 2020. The video's name in question called Exclusive Season 3 Clip: Tie Bot Battle.
  • It's revealed that the Bow-Tie Bots are shown to have a bomb that makes beeping sounds.
  • The sound of the rope on the arrow that Aria grabs onto the cliff is heard creaking.
  • Before falling and splashing into the waters of Lotharganin, Aria gasps when the Eye throws away the arrow with the rope she grabbed on. Interestingly, a dog can be heard barking in the distance when Fitz drinks a bottle of beer and appears next to the Eye with a beer bottle.
  • Adult Swim.com's closed captions/subtitles label the music and Wilx's laughter at the end of the episode is called Suspenseful music and distorted laughter respectively.
  • The horse seen on one of the Man-Woman's pictures from "You Made This" is shown laughing in a demonic voice while the Man-Woman and all of her pictures scream at Wilx in the Box of Worlds.
