Trivia[]

  • This is the 160th episode of the show.
  • The 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo is still normal pitched in this episode, but in later episodes this season, it will become lower-pitched.
  • The Travel Song is replaced by the new song, "Circulo".
  • It's unknown how Swiper and the Fiesta Trio got into Boots' sticker book.
  • This is the first episode in this season (both airing and production order) where Dora and Boots failed to stop Swiper. In two previous episodes (Dora and Peritto to the Rescue (or Dora's Super Soccer Showdown in production order) and Puppies Galore) always stopped Swiper before swipe something but in this episode he finally succeeded.
  • This episode premiered 10 years after City of Lost Toys on VHS and DVD was released.
  • Benny, Isa, and Tico do not appear in this episode.
  • This episode premiered 1 month before the Despicable Me 2 movie was released in theaters.

    Listen to Boots' monkey sound in the end of this clip.

    This is the first time Boots chattered "Ooh-ooh-Aah-aah!" in his current voice (Koda Gursoy) after Harrison Chad and Regan Mizrahi both departed.

Goofs/Errors[]

  • When Dora, Boots, and Circulo are at Snowy Mountain, they do not wear any winter clothes, much like in ¡Rápido, Tico!.
  • In real life, trains do not need a steering wheel (although here it does not apply due to cartoon logic).

Running Gag[]

  • To fill in round things missing, Circulo helps out, but he can't do it unless his name is called.
