## Trivia

* This is the last episode of the series to be written by co-creator Chris Gifford.
* This is the last episode in production order to feature the original cast: Jake T. Austin (as Diego), Serena Kerrigan (as Alicia), Thomas Sharkey (as Baby Jaguar), Keeler Sandhaus (as Rescue Pack), Kathleen Herles (as Dora), and Sasha Toro (as Backpack) except for Constanza Sperakis (as the original voice of Alicia).
	+ However, the voice of Click (Rosie Perez) will stay on for the rest of the show.
	+ Additionally, Sasha Toro would return as Backpack in the 2019 film *Dora and the Lost City of Gold*.
* This is the **final** time (in production order) Kathleen Herles provided the voice of Dora in any *Dora the Explorer* media, not counting any held back episodes. Otherwise, it would be Swiper the Explorer, which premiered in March 2010.
* This episode premiered exactly 3 years after Diego's Wolf Pup Rescue.
	+ Coincidentally, Dora appeared in both episodes.
* This was the second episode where Rescue Pack was used before Click, after Diego's Safari Rescue.
* Dora did not say anything during the Let's Review segment in this episode.
* Boots, Map, Swiper, the Fiesta Trio, and the Bobo Brothers don't appear in this episode.
* This episode is Dora and Backpack's last appearance in Go, Diego, Go! (in production order).
* On the DVD, the 2008-2010 Nickelodeon Productions logo appears, but elsewhere, it has with the 2005-09 Nick Jr. Productions logo, thus in those airings, officially making it the last episode to use the 2005-09 Nick Jr. Productions logo, if one doesn't count Diego and Dora Help Baby Monarch Get to the Festival airing on TV on November 25, 2009 (in both production order and airing order).
* Diego doesn't say "We solved the puzzle," after finishing the puzzle. He instead says "We finished the puzzle."
* In release date, this is the sixth time that Dora appears within the *Go, Diego, Go!* series and the fifth time without Boots. In production order, this is the seventh and final time that she appears in the series and the sixth time without Boots.
* This episode was on DVD on September 15, 2009 and premiered on TV just three days later.
* If not counting the held back premiere of Egyptian Camel Adventure, this is the final episode where Diego saids "Excelente" during the animal end song, as in the next season, Diego won't say "Excelente" during the song for now on (in both production order and airing order).
	+ This is also one of the few times where it's re-recorded from usual.
