• This is the only episode in which Brobee doesn't join in on the Dancey Dance segment. Because he's absent.
• The other guests who attend the party are Gooble, Mark Mothersbaugh, his daughter Hui Hui, Melora Hardin, who loves the Dancey Dance, the gang did with her except Brobee and wanted to stay for the party instead of beaming out of Gabba Land, and Parker Jacobs from the Cool Tricks segment, who arrives with DJ Lance Rock, who helps him carry the cake on a tray with a wheel on each one of two sides, like he says when he said, "Don't worry, everybody. I'll get the cake when it's time!", and he did so with Parker.
• Biz Markie is the only guest star who did not attend Brobee's birthday party.
• This is the first episode to have the new intro for Biz's Beat of the Day, meaning this is the first appearance of this segment in season 2.
• This is the first time Biz Markie doesn't say, "Okay. Here's Biz's Beat of the Day".
• This is the only time Biz Markie says, "Now I want everybody to sing along with me, like this." instead of "One more time, kids".
• This is the only time Biz Markie doesn't say, "Now practice this at home, and I'll see you all next time!".
• In this episode, the Super Music Friends Show is Brobee's birthday present as a bonus before the party ends.
• This is the first time DJ Lance Rock dances to the Super Music Friends Show.
• In this episode, the Dancey Dance is in the style of "Having A Party".
• When everyone comes out and yells, "Surprise, Brobee!" a drumroll plays.
• DJ Lance Rock says "Then..." instead of "And finally..." for the last segment, which is that the Gabba gang had a party for Brobee's 4th birthday.

• In the first video game, Marina blows out groups of two candles, and Brobee blows out the group of four.
• Muno, Toodee, and Brobee appear with Marina in the first video game.
• When Brobee Cake says, "Blow 'em out!", what it means is "Blow 'em out, why don't you?".
• At the end of the Dancey Dance segment, Plex and her friends (except Brobee) don't wish Melora good luck. Instead, Plex tells her to stay for Brobee's birthday party and that made her get excited.
• In this episode, the party hats that the kids wear resemble Brobee's horns.
• In this episode, Biz says, "Hey, kids. It's Brobee's birthday today." instead of "Okay. Here's Biz's beat of the day.".
• The Swami says the name of a character in the introduction.
• When Parker says the word, "oven", he says a careful warning, which means "It's hot!".

Errors/Goofs

• After DJ Lance Rock says "All right! What a special birthday day.", the gang doesn't also cheer.
• When everyone yells "Surprise, Brobee!", the black bat doesn't come out.
• In the exterior of Brobee's birthday party, where Room is laughing as balloons and confetti come out of her mouth, we don't see Gooble and Brobee Cake, we only see Parker Jacobs and DJ Lance Rock in different directions and Melora Hardin and Toodee get switched around and so do Plex and DJ Lance Rock.
• At the end of the Cool Tricks segment, as Parker joins the singers on the word "Yeah!", he says it silently, giving the thumbs up after tasting the icing.
