## Trivia

* Nigel's internal codename is "narrator", referencing how he narrates his own wildlife documentaries.
* Nigel, Shredder, and Hugh Neutron are the only NASB 1 characters not to be playable in *Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway*.
	+ Nigel is the only one of the three to make no in-game appearance whatsoever, as the latter two appear as non-playable Pit Crew members.
	+ This makes Nigel the only character from the base roster who doesn't also appear in *Slime Speedway*.
	+ This also makes Nigel's home series, *The Wild Thornberrys*, the only universe in NASB 1 that doesn't appear in *Slime Speedway*.
* Nigel is one of the few characters to appear in the game without their show's actual lead characters, the others being Helga, Reptar, Oblina and Hugh.
* Nigel, Lucy Loud, Powdered Toastman and Oblina are the only characters to not have an alternate render in the in-game gallery.
	+ However, a render of Donnie Thornberry is unlocked upon completing Arcade Mode with Nigel.
