Aqua Pups: Pups Save a Floating Castle/Trivia

*This is the first episode of the Aqua Pups sub-series.
*Coral, Moby, and McSquidly debut in this episode.
**However, in the UK and Ireland, "All Paws on Deck" aired before this episode, so this episode does not mark Coral's debut in these two countries.
**A new mobile vehicle called the Whale Patroller debuts in this episode as well.
***The PAW Patroller has the ability to transform into the Whale Patroller.
*In Canada, this episode aired exactly
**3 years after the US premiere of "Pups Save a Freaky Pup-Day" and "Pups Save a Runaway Mayor".
**4 years after the US premiere of "Mighty Pups".
**9 years after the US premiere of "Pups Save a School Day" and "Pups Turn on the Lights".
*This is the first episode to air in the United States in 2023.
**This marks the third sub-series to premiere in January after Moto Pups and Rescue Knights.
***This episode also aired exactly 8 years after "Pups Save a Talent Show" and "Pups Save the Corn Roast" premiered.
****Ironically, both episodes ("Pups Save a Talent Show" and "Pups Save the Corn Roast" and this episode) were the first episodes to premiere in 2015 and 2023 respectively.
*An exclusive look of Rubble & Crew was shown during the episode as well as the Nick Jr. bumper was shown before the commercial break.
*A screenburg countdown for this episode of Marshall and the shell of Puplantis was shown during the re-run of "Sea Patrol: Pups Save a Frozen Flounder" and "Sea Patrol: Pups Save a Narwhal".
*The US promo for this episode is similar to "Sea Patrol: Pups Save Puplantis".
**Ironically, the US airing date for this episode is the same as the Japan airing date for "Sea Patrol: Pups Save Puplantis".
*This episode takes place after "Sea Patrol: Pups Save Puplantis" as Cap'n Turbot said at the end of that episode he'll have to wait for the next Mer-moon, foreshadowing it.
*This is the second sub-series to take place underwater.
**First being Sea Patrol.
*This is the fourth episode to have the word "floating" in the title. 
**The first was "Pups Save Their Floating Friends", the second was "Pups Save the Floating Goodways", and the third was "Mission PAW: Pups Save a Floating Royal Carriage".
*This is the fourth episode to feature the Mer-pups. 
**The first was "Pups Save a Mer-Pup".
**The second was "Merpups Save the Turbots".
**The third was "Sea Patrol: Pups Save Puplantis".
*It's been revealed that the Mer-Pups can send messages by blowing bubbles. These are called "bubble barks".
*Ryder is the third PAW Patrol member to wear his scuba suit outside the Sea Patrol sub-series after Zuma in "Pups Save a Bah Humdinger" and "Pups Save a Mischievous Octopus" and Rubble in "Pups Save a Lonely Ghost".
*Ryder is seen wearing his Sea Patrol scuba suit for the first time since "Sea Patrol: Pups Save a Soggy Farm", as well as in the new animation style.
**He is also seen without his helmet for a brief moment for the first time.
*This is the third time a villain tried to harm Puplantis. 
**The first being Sid Swashbuckle in "Sea Patrol: Pups Save Puplantis" and the second being Harold Humdinger in "PAW Patrol Original 5s: Charged Up: Pups Save a Super-Powered Puplantis".
*This is the first Mer-Pup themed episode where Cap'n Turbot did not attempt to take pictures of the Mer-Pups.
*It is revealed that when a Land-Pup bumps paws with a Mer-Pup, the Mer-Pup will turn into a Land-Pup.
*This is the fourth time Skye and Rocky turn into Mer-Pups, the third time for Marshall and Zuma, and the second time for Chase and Rubble.
*The method on raising Puplantis from underwater to the surface is similar to the method used in "Pups Save a Goodway".
**Both use something bouncy to float (balloons, flotation rings).
**It takes more than 5 to float an object (Ryder, Rocky, Zuma, Skye).
**This broke all laws of physics (Puplantis has a bigger mass, Goodway statue is heavier but dense).
*It is revealed that Puplantis has traffic lights for Mer-Pups and sea creatures.
*This episode reveals that Ryder's pup-pad is waterproof.
*Despite Rocky having aquaphobia, it was not shown throughout the whole episode. 
**This is probably due to the fact that he was turned into a Mer-Pup at the beginning of the episode and the wetsuit Ryder designed that kept him dry.
*The ending has Skye flying her vehicle to block the moon is similar to Batman.
*There are two design errors with Coral's title card art. Her front left paw has a blue strand of fur that her ears have and on her back right thigh, a tiny patch of her fur, which should be covered up by her wetsuit, is visible.
**These same errors are visible on the "Aqua Pups: Pups Stop a Giant Squid" title card art as well.
*When Skye was reading the title card, she said "Aqua Pups: Save a Floating Castle", instead of saying "Aqua Pups: Pups Save a Floating Castle".
**The same error happened with Chase when he read the title card for "Big Truck Pups: Pups Stop a Flood".
**This was fixed in the Latin American Spanish Dub.
*Just like Zuma and Rubble in "Pups Save a Mischievous Octopus" and "Pups Save a Lonely Ghost" respectively, Ryder's Sea Patrol scuba suit does not have the Sea Patrol logo.
*Continuity error: In Season 2's "Pups Save a Mer-Pup", it was established that a pup who transforms into a Mer-Pup will transform back once the full moon sets. Mysteriously, this does not seem to affect Coral, who was able to stay as a Mer-Pup for as long as she wanted.
