- This episode marks the first time Mario was able to make his house payment on time, most likely putting a stop to the house payment arc. This was never mentioned in the later videos.
- However, in "Scooter the Rapper!" it was later proven to be false.
New Mario puppet design seen on merchandising
- However, in "Scooter the Rapper!" it was later proven to be false.
- This episode's primary purpose was to advertise the new SML merchandise.
- The songs sung in the video were as follows: a parody of "Panda" by rapper Designer, and a parody of "It's Tricky" by RUN DMC.
- During the advertisement for the merchandise at the end of the video, several items confirmed that the human puppet versions of Bowser Junior, Joseph, Cody, and Bowser will be permanent unless Logan decides to move to another site or end production, and that Mario will receive a new puppet in the near-future; the new Mario is more bald than the current plush, has blue pants and a blue tie instead of overalls, and is fatter.
- The transition to all-puppets comes in response to new YouTube rules that will be instituted on the first day of the 2020s decade, in which all channels have to say whether or not their content is for kids, mandated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Logan posted a vlog on Chilly's channel the night before in which he said that, because of the new rules, SML and TT Movies may have to cease production, due to the threat of the FTC taking anyone who lies about their content being for children to court. Presumably, the Mario, Bowser Junior, and Bowser puppets will be different enough to not be considered the same as their Nintendo counterparts. Exactly where this leaves characters like Luigi, Rosalina, Black Yoshi, Shrek, Toad, Woody, and Bully Bill is unknown, and whether or not they will receive puppet versions or be written out/killed off/retconned.
- The listed characters above may remain the same as Logan brought back the plushes in "Joseph's Pet!" meaning the Mario puppet may be for merch purposes only and possibly will be used in a one-time video.
- It was announced on December 11th that YouTube has been saved from COPPA meaning the copyrighted characters will be able to keep their original looks and Logan can revert back to plushes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah5O5GeVjm4.
- Rosalina later returned in "Doctor Jeffy!" and Black Yoshi returned in "Black Yoshi's SuperPowers!" meaning Logan is still working on their puppets or he decided not to use the Mario puppet due to the negative reception the other puppets received.

- Lovell doesn't voice anyone in this episode since "The Asteroid!", and "Jeffy's Bad Dog!".
- Patrick in this video was seen barefoot.
- This is the only Jeffy-centered video of November 2019.
- This is the final Jeffy-centered video to be uploaded before the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic began.
- It is possible that when Brooklyn T. Guy told Jeffy to say "awesome" and Jeffy said "possum" is a reference to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game Awesome Possum... Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt.
- This episode was uploaded 4 years after "Black Yoshi's Call of Duty Black Ops 3!" and 10 years after New Super Mario Bros. Wii was released in the USA.
Errors[]
- In the description, Jeffy's name is lowercase.
- Despite the thumbnail showing Mario film the commercial, it was Brooklyn T. Guy who was the actual production cameraman.
