## Trivia

* Season 3 is currently the second longest-running season so far at 71 days compared to the previous two seasons' 64 days each. It will be beaten out by Season 4, which is set to run for 77 days, six days longer than Season 3.
* Season 3 is the only season so far to have more than one collaboration during it.
* During the *Puzzles & Dragons* collaboration, decorative banners where placed around several stages promoting the event. However, for some reason this caused massive frame rate drops for players, especially on Croissant Arena. Because of this, the banners were removed in a patch during the event.
