Trivia[]

- 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.

Dora the Explorer In 3D
Listen to Boots' monkey sound in the end of this clip.
- This audio feature will be re-recorded in the Dora and Friends: Into the City! episode Return to the Rainforest.
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.
