Some episodes feature background music that sounds similar to the [[Grass Land]] map theme and [[Hammer Bro]]'s theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Examples of such episodes include "The (Almost) Graduate" and "Major Unfaithfulness".

The noise that occurs when the items appear is also nearly identical to the noise that occurs at the beginning of new laps in many of the games. The boxes contained green missiles that look like [[Bullet Bill]]s, but act like [[Green Shell]]s; they also contained red mines that play a similar role to [[Banana#Mario Kart series|banana]]s. At one point, Grizzy obtains a temporary shield item that grants him invincibility, similar to the [[Super Star]]. In the end of the race, both Grizzy and the Lemmings are hit by two red bullets before they get to the finish line; the red bullets are similar to the [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], and was thrown by a female bear, a recurring character that was revealed to be a third racer.
