## Trivia

* Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin's Friends include Codi Leitner, a relative of long-time Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin's friend Sierra Leitner, Yvonne Oritz, a relative of Set Decorator Pete Ortiz from Blue's Room, and Madeleine Steinberg, a relative of soon-to-be Executive Assistant Amy Steinberg.
* This is the first episode to air in 2000.
* This is the first episode to have the 1999 Nick Jr. Productions logo (Claymation).
* This episode aired as part of Best Friends Week on Nick Jr.
* This episode appeared in the DVD What's So Funny? and the VHS Blue's Pool Party. They both released in Australia.
* Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin did not have their green striped long-sleeved shirt or their tan pants on for the entire episode. When it was time for the pool party, They are in their green striped t-shirt and tan shorts. They also wore flip-flops. The t-shirt and tan shorts would be worn again in the episode "Blue's Backyard Ballgame Bonanza". The flip flops weren't present in that episode.
* In Pistas Da Blue, Duarte wears a Hawaiian shirt instead of a green striped shirt during the pool party.
* When this episode is shown on Noggin, the pawprint for the third clue is blocked up almost entirely by the Noggin watermark at the bottom left corner of the screen.
* This episode used the same pool from "Blue Goes to the Beach".
* This is the sixth time Blue nods her head no.
* Magenta hangs up on Steve, Kevin, Duarte, HyunShup Shin and Blue during a phone call in this episode.
* This is the first time Blue leaves a clue onscreen.
* There is a tiny meme used from this episode, it is when Steve says "Bananas" in a low voice.
* This is the first time Kitty Charde was credited.
	+ The next time will be in Nature.
* This is the first time the starting doesn't fade, rather cutting instead.
* This is the first time that the telephone sits on the floor.
	+ The other episodes where the telephone was sitting on the floor were Blue's Big Musical, Joe's First Day, The Big Book About Us, The Scavenger Hunt, Let's Write! and Blue's First Holiday.
* In this credit sequence, Mr. Salt & Mrs. Pepper are back to their proper position and Tickety Tock only rings her bells.

### Goofs

* When the camera zooms in to show Paprika putting sprinkles on the sundae that was lacking some sprinkles, the spoon disappears. The spoon reappears when the camera zooms out after the sprinkles were added.
* During Thinking Time, a spot was added on the second clue, a puppy, even though Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin did not put a spot when drawing the clue.
	+ This is because the image of the second clue is taken from a future episode, Magenta Gets Glasses, instead of rendering an image from the drawing in this episode.
* When Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin finished drawing the third clue, the pawprint didn't come off.

### Differences

* When Steve, Kevin, Duarte, HyunShup Shin and Blue put Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper and Paprika on the list, they didn’t put Cinnamon, Sage and Ginger on the list because they weren’t born yet. In the reboot, Josh and Blue do.
* In the original, Steve, Kevin, Duarte, HyunShup Shin and Blue didn’t put Periwinkle on the list or invite him to the Pool Party because he wasn’t here yet until Periwinkle Misses His Friend.
* In the original, there was no wrong answer. In the reboot, the wrong answer is a puppy who painted Blue’s school a purplish pinkish color.
* After skidooing back, Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin were gonna invite Shovel and Pail but Blue volunteered to do it herself. In the reboot, Josh and Blue went to invite Shovel and Pail before finding the 3rd and final clue. In the original, Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin found the clue after Blue volunteered to invite Shovel and Pail herself.
* When Josh helped Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, Paprika, Cinnamon, Sage and Ginger make sundaes, they made 2 more. In the original, 3 more were made.
* When Josh helped Joker find matching cards, the cards were in different places and the King of Stripes had blue stripes instead of green stripes because Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin are the ones with green stripes.
* In the reboot when Joker arrived with his matching friend to the Pool Party, they didn’t wear sunglasses. In the original, they did.
* In the original, only Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin were at the Pool Party because Joe and Josh were not here yet. In the reboot, Josh invites Steve and Joe to the Pool Party.
* In the original, Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin used the phone from Sidetable Drawer to call Magenta. In the reboot, Josh used his notebook/phone to call Magenta due to Sidetable Drawer not having her phone on her anymore.
