Errors
Animation
Continuity
- In this episode, Simon Belmont thinks Wombatman is stupid, but in "The Most Dangerous Game Master" it's one of his favorite shows.
Logic
- Why is Kid Icarus so interested in learning moves from a TV superhero like Wombatman? He's already an angel with an arsenal of different types of arrows, and unlike Wombatman, he can actually fly.
