Behind the scenes[]
- Cartoon Network had a mistake when first announcing this episode, calling it, "Mercy Mansion" instead of "mission."
- Sinker and Boost's dialogue at one point, "Another quake? Coming here was a bad idea." "I'm beginning to agree with you." is a nod to Luke Skywalker's line on Dagobah in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
- Mercy Mission is the least watched episode to date, with only 1.35 million views.
