Aqua Pups: Pups Save the Whale Patroller/Trivia

*In Canada, this and its sister episode were the first episodes to premiere in 2023.
*This is the first episode to take place underwater for the whole episode.
*This is the first and currently only Mer-Pup themed episode Cap'n Turbot does not appear in.
*This is the fifth episode where a villain (Moby) steals the Team Vehicle.
**The first is Mayor Humdinger in "Pups Save the PAW Patroller" (Original PAW Patroller) and "Pups Save a Bah Humdinger" (Air Patroller) (Unless you also count Rocky's tugboat).
**Second is Sweetie in "Mission PAW: Pups Save the Royal Throne" (Air Patroller).
**Third is Sid Swashbuckle in "Sea Patrol: Pups Save Their Pirated Sea Patroller" (Sea Patroller).
**Fourth is The Cheetah in "Pups Stop the Cheetah" (Original PAW Patroller).
*The underwater creatures the PAW Patrol ride on in this episode are the same creatures their Aqua Pups vehicles are based on.
**Chase rides a shark.
**Marshall rides a dolphin.
**Rubble rides a hammerhead.
**Skye rides a manta ray.
**Rocky rides a sawfish.
**Zuma rides a lobster.
**Coral rides a seahorse. 
**This is also the first episode where a hammerhead shark, a manta ray, a sawfish, and a lobster appear in the series.
*Running gag: Moby tries to activate the Whale Patroller's treat dispenser, but ends up activating the wrong gizmos, leading to accidents.
**However, at the end of this episode, he finally finds the treat dispenser and gets full from eating too many.
*This is the first episode where Rubble does not complain about someone (Moby) stealing pup treats.
**However, he is shocked about it when he enters the Whale Patroller.
*Robo-Dog is used by Ryder as a sea scooter.
*This is Marshall's second appearance on a title card this season.
**The first was on the "All Paws on Deck" title card.
***This is also Marshall's first solo appearance on a title card in this season.
*At the end of the episode, it is revealed that Ryder created an electronic lock for the Whale Patroller.
*Moby trying to get McSquidly off of himself is similar to Squidward's situation in the SpongeBob SquarePants episode, "SquidBob TentaclePants".
**The only difference from that episode is that Squidward and SpongeBob fused together, making it harder to do anything, almost like McSquidly getting more stuck to Moby's diver suit while they were in the control room of the Whale Patroller.
***Coincidentally, this and its sister episode aired on the same day as the SpongeBob episodes: "Welcome to Binary Bottom", "You're Going to Pay... Phone" and "A Skin Wrinkle in Time", all five episodes aired on Bad Luck Day (Friday the 13th).
**This is one of the few episodes that has a similar thing to SpongeBob SquarePants, as they are both Nickelodeon shows, and few episodes of this show premiere on the same day as SpongeBob episodes, just like this and its sister episode.
*In the US, this and its sister episode are the sixth episode(s) to premiere on Bad Luck Day (Friday the 13th). The first were "Pups Save a Friend" and "Pups Save a Stowaway", the second were "Pups Save a Tour Bus" and "Pups Save Midnight at the Museum", the third were "Dino Rescue: Pups Save a Sore Dino" and "Dino Rescue: Pups Save the Triceratops Tag-Alongs", the fourth were "Pups and Katie Stop the Barking Kitty Crew" and "Pups Save the Glasses" and the fifth were "Pups Save the Kitties and the Kiddies" and "Pups Save a Greenhouse".
*In this episode, the PAW Patrol face a similar situation as they did in "Sea Patrol: Pups Save Their Pirated Sea Patroller". In both episodes:
**The PAW Patrol deploy at sea.
**The PAW Patrol, including Robo-Dog, leave their team vehicle in the open.
**The villains (Moby, Sid Swashbuckle and Arrby) steal their main vehicle.
**Robo-Dog is locked out from the vehicle (Outside the Whale Patroller, locked beneath the brig of the Sea Patroller).
**The villains commandeer their vehicle and create trouble in different areas (Adventure Beach, Puplantis).
**The PAW Patrol are able to take back their vehicle as the villains are distracted (Sid gets distracted by Marshall's clumsiness and a fake ship, Moby gets distracted by pup treats).
**The PAW Patrol are able to retrieve their vehicle.
**PAW Patrol corners the villain (Ryder, Skye, Rubble, Rubble).
**PAW Patrol made improvements at the end of the episode (Marshall gets appreciated, Ryder upgrades the stolen vehicle).
*The fourth wall is broken at the beginning of the episode. When Marshall was telling Coral his net joke, at the second net word, he winks to the viewers.
**This is the first episode since "Ultimate Rescue: Pups Save the Pupmobiles" where he breaks the fourth wall.
*Despite being called, Zuma was the only pup who did not do anything during the entire rescue mission.
*After "Pups in a Fix", "Pups Stop the Cheetah", and "Aqua Pups: Pups Save a Floating Castle"
*Continuity errors: Robo-Dog is revealed to be waterproof in this episode, but in "Pups in a Fix", he malfunctioned as he went underwater.
**However, it is possible that Ryder made him waterproof since the events of "Pups in a Fix".
*There is inconsistency with how Coral obtains her Seahorse sub. 
**In "Aqua Pups: Pups Save a Mer-Race" and "All Paws on Deck", Coral already has her Seahorse sub without needing to deploy it from the Whale Patroller. However, in "Aqua Pups: Pups Save a Floating Castle" and this episode, her Seahorse sub is stored within the Whale Patroller.
*There is also inconsistency with how Coral and Moby become Land-Pups. 
**In "Aqua Pups: Pups Save a Floating Castle", Cap'n Turbot explains that a Mer-Pup can transform into a Land-Pup by touching paws with another Land-Pup. However, in this episode, both Coral and Moby were already Land-Pups despite not bumping paws with any of them.
***Coral may have paw-bumped one of the pups or already deployed from the Whale Patroller off-screen before this episode's events.
*Animation errors: After Ryder calls Coral, she explains that she, Mama mer-pup, and Baby mer-pup are trapped in the library with the two being shown behind her. However, as Coral shows the fishing net that sunk over the library, Mama Mer-Pup is seen again, but outside the library and net. When Marshall and Rubble remove the net, Mama Mer-Pup is seen again, fleeing the library with her baby after Coral.
