Trivia

• This is the first aired episode of Season 8, but the fifth one produced.
• Starting with this episode, Boots and Backpack are voiced by Koda Gursoy and Sofia Lopez, replacing Regan Mizrahi and Alexandria Suarez, respectively.
  • Despite this, Mizrahi's recordings during the We Did It! song from Season 6 still remain until Dora's Rainforest Talent Show.
  • Gursoy would later voice Boots in the Dora and Friends: Into the City! episodes Return to the Rainforest and Dora's Rainforest Reunion, while Lopez would move on playing the Littlest Piggy in Puppet Theater.
  • Additionally, Suarez would go on to voice Naiya in Dora and Friends, while Backpack would be voiced by Breanna Lakatos.
• Starting with this episode up until Dora Saves Fairytale Land, the 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo would be low-pitched, with the exceptions of Catch That Shape Train, Dora's Rainforest Talent Show and Dora's Ice Skating Spectacular.
• This episode is very similar to Dora and Diego to the Rescue! (both have to do with rescuing Boots).
  • Coincidentally, both episodes were not only written by co-creator Valerie Walsh Valdes, but they also feature Diego (although he did not join the rescue in this episode).
  • Unline in the aforementioned episode, though still worried about Boots, Map remains calm and continued to smile as usual during his segment.
• This is the 158^th episode of the show.
• Because Boots is stuck in a barrel that is floating down the Big River, Perrito travels with Dora instead.
• Isa, Benny, Baby Jaguar, Daisy, the Bobo Brothers, Alicia, Click and Rescue Pack do not appear in this episode.
• The Travel Song is replaced by the new song about going to save Boots ("We're off to the Rescue").
• When Dora stops Swiper from swiping her scooter, Perrito stops him too, but he barks "Swiper, no swiping!".
• This episode premiered exactly 11 years after Rojo the Fire Truck.
• This is the second instance where Perrito crosses the Troll Bridge after Perrito's Big Surprise.
• This is the fourth and final appearance of Big River, and the only episode to feature it as the destination.
• Beginning with this episode, during Map's segment when he reviews the places to go, each time a place lights up, it is accompanied by a musical chime.
