==References==
*A subtle reference to the TV show Adventure Time, when Bot says "It's Hello Kitty tea party time!" and Mario follows up with "CAN WE ADVENTURE INSTEAD!?"
*"C'mon you silly goose!" is a reference to the episode "Cripple Fight", from the TV show South Park.
==Trivia==
*This episode is the first episode to push SMG4 aside and instead focus on X. The episode also develops a lot of X's traits and interests:
**Whereas his apathy was previously used for the sake of comedy, in this episode it is a major plot point.
**X's shotgun, which has been teased before is given its first appearance; and is shown to be his only possession.
**Lastly, this episode also reveals that X is one of the only characters to have abilities: Teleportation, and the ability to manipulate his limbs as weapons.
*This is Toad's first proper appearance in the series.
*This is the second episode where Luigi doesn't die, the episode lampshades this at several points.
*This, and Favorite Foods are the only episodes which are also technically shorts. (7 - minutes length.)
*This is the first episode released in 2024.
**This is also the last episode to start production in 2023.
**This is also the first episode to have both POV and panning camera shots.
*This is the first episode to have any influence from Adventure Time, a TV series which ran from 2010-2019.
*This is the last episode to use the "Starry Sky" outro.
**This is also the last appearance of the "Mt. Moon Square" theme as well.
*This is the first episode since Sh*tter Star to be solo-written.
*This is the second episode where both Mario, and SMG4 get killed.
*This is the first episode released after the 2023 Winter Hiatus, a three month hiatus from Super Bloopers due to numerous reasons.
