Trivia

- during the Ballerina scene,Simon warps into a Modern Ninja themed Video World which the Episode never explains what specific Nes Game it's based off of. it's possible that that it's based off of either "Ninja Gaiden" from Tecmo or "Wrath of the Black Manta" by Taito. (Since both games were ninja themed video games with a modern setting that had robbers and thugs as enemies)
- Simon rips off one of Donkey Kong's toenails. Needless to say the great ape was not pleased.

This is one of the few, if any, episodes that shows Simon to actually be competent at his job, rather than being his usual arrogant, incompetent, blowhard self shown in most other episodes.
Errors
Animation
- N missing on Kevin's jacket when Simon walks off as a Kongoland tour guide, and when he crashes on the ironing board and looks to the N Team as he gets up.
- There are scenes in which Simon's skin and his coat are colored incorrectly.
Continuity
- When Simon thinks he's a ballerina and jumps into a warp zone Lana walks over, but she's wearing her regular outfit when she'd just been wearing a leotard.
Logic
- Why not just have Mega Man do all the shit? Mega Man fucking rules. You see how he swiped the head off that suit of armor with Simon's whip? God damn.
- It does not make sense that Simon yells "FUCK" when hit by the bananas. He never once cusses in his video games. Simon is a very good boy and he is with his mommy.
- Simon's amnesia throughout the course of the episode seemed to be primarily concious in nature and his memory still functioned on a subconscious level. This might be how he knew he had a backpack that contained an ape dictionary.
Variants and alterations
- The version on the DVD set is lacking a title and writer credit. This is presumably how the episode originally aired on NBC.
