Notes

Continuity notes

Transformers references

  • To motivate Jawbreaker, Twitch tells him that "it takes a strong person to be gentle"—this is a paraphrased bit of advice that was, according to Peter Cullen, given to him by his brother Larry before he auditioned for the role of Optimus Prime.

Real-world references

  • The golden tickets and very fine print are likely references to the classic film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
  • Aspects of the escape room are shared with British game show The Crystal Maze, which was hosted by Fairmaestro's voice actor Richard Ayoade. For instance, the final challenge for each episode of the show was to catch gold foil tokens being blown inside the Crystal Dome.
  • Fairmaestro's scheme involving riddles is very reminiscent of The Riddler in the Batman franchise.

Errors

Trivia

  • Twitch seemingly breaks the fourth wall by declaring "Cue the montage!"
