## Trivia

* This is the 1st double-length episode of the series.
* Although this is a Season 1 episode, it premiered during Season 2.
* This is the fourth time that Dora appears within the "*Go, Diego, Go!*" series and the third time without Boots.
* This could be Diego's version of Baby Dino (because the theme is about dinosaurs and the prehistoric times), except this is a double-length episode unlike the aforementioned *Dora the Explorer* episode.
	+ Coincidentally, Diego appears in both of them.
* Boots, Click, and the Bobo Brothers don't appear in this episode.
	+ Also, Backpack wasn't checked in this episode. However, her face was still seen when Alicia mentioned that the Microraptor is so tiny that it can easily fit in Dora's backpack.
	+ Taking their place as the antagonists, the Edmontosauruses cause trouble by making a strong wind, just like the Bobos.
		- The Edmontosauruses are also voiced by Marc Weiner (under "Dinosaurs"), who also voiced Map, Swiper and the Fiesta Trio.
* Map says, "We need to go to Egg Island!" when he zoom wipes.
	+ Also, after that, Dora doesn't use the picture pop-up sequence, nor does she ask "Where do we go first?". Instead, all she asks is "Where do we go?".
* This is Map's first appearance on *Go, Diego, Go!*. He even sings I'm the Map twice.
* This is the only *Go, Diego, Go!* episode in which the Fiesta Trio sing along with the Map. On top of that, the audio in which they sing "He's the Map, He's the Map" is taken from the *Dora the Explorer* episode "The Lost City" (both times).
	+ Speaking of the Fiesta Trio, this is their second and final appearance on *Go, Diego, Go!*.
* This is also the only *Go, Diego, Go!* episode in the "Bonus Map" format and the only *Go, Diego, Go!* episode where Map is asked more than once, and with no picture pop-up sequence.
* Plesiosaurus, Lambeosaurus, Gallimimus, Pteranodon, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Dracorex, and Saltasaurus are the only dinosaurs that didn't appear but only appear in the video game version.
* This episode premiered at 7:00pm eastern time, as part of "Diego's Great Dinosaur Rescue Night", a primetime marathon showing three special episodes of the show. This episode aired first, then The Great Jaguar Rescue aired at 8:00-8:30pm eastern and An Underwater Mystery aired at 8:30-9:00pm eastern.
* This is the second episode where Corre, Corre is sung, first being Diego's Wolf Pup Rescue, except in this episode, they sing a different version the song (Corran, Corran).
* This episode might take place after Dora's World Adventure! because Dora said that she traveled all over the world.
