Summary[]

Diego has to rescue Linda the Llama who is stuck in a mud puddle and is delivering two baskets where one is filled with goodies and another is filled with musical instruments that she has to take to the parade up on top of a mountain where his cousin Dora and her best friend Boots are waiting.

Plot[]

The episode starts with Diego and all of his animal friends, including Baby Jaguar, dancing the samba in anticipation of the upcoming Carnival Parade. The parade will feature floats, balloons, confetti, music, and goodies. As they're dancing, Diego's video watch beeps, and he answers a video call from his cousin, Dora the Explorer, and her best friend, Boots the Monkey.

Dora tells Diego that she and Boots are at the top of the mountain where the parade is set to begin. They're waiting for Linda the Llama to bring the baskets of music and goodies for the parade, but Boots sadly mentions that Linda hasn't arrived yet. Diego becomes worried about this, realizing that without the music and goodies, there can't be a carnival parade and everyone will be disappointed. Dora thinks Linda must be in trouble and tells Diego he has to rescue her. Diego assures them not to worry, promising he'll find her.

When using Click, Diego sees that Linda is stuck in the mud, and the baskets of music and goodies has fallen off her. So, Diego has to save Linda the Llama out of the mud, and find the baskets before he and Linda can go to the Carnival Parade.

Trivia[]

This is the 10^th episode of the series.
This is the first episode where Dora appears on Go, Diego, Go!, and the only episode where Boots physically appears.
- And speaking of Dora the Explorer characters, this is the Fiesta Trio's first appearance on the show. They will appear once more on Diego's Great Dinosaur Rescue during Map's segment.
  - Specifically, the Fiesta Trio made a cameo appearance at the Carnival festival.
- This is also the first time Dora participates in the Let's Review segment.
This episode could be Diego's version of Daisy, La Quinceañera and Dora's Dance to the Rescue (all three involve lots of dancing).
- Funny enough, the VHS/DVD of the latter episode would be released the day after this episode aired. Then one month later, the special would premiere on TV.
Baby Jaguar makes a cameo at the beginning of this episode. This marks his first cameo on the show.
Backpack, Map, and Rescue Pack do not appear in this episode.
This episode premiered one day before the premiere of "Dora's Dance to the Rescue" on VHS and DVD.
- Speaking of which, Benny, Isa, and Tico do not appear in this episode (unless one counts a picture cameo in Journey to Jaguar Mountain) and neither did Swiper (if he was on his good side) or the Big Red Chicken or go the Carnaval Parade.
- And additionally, Dora's actress Kathleen Herles and Boots' actor Harrison Chad now have more matured voices (due to them experiencing puberty at the time of the production of this episode), which those voices would be heard in Dora's Dance to the Rescue.
This episode could be a reason why King Juan el Bobo or King Popo never appeared in Go, Diego, Go!. There is already a king in the show.
The Scarlet Macaw background is recycled from Journey to Jaguar Mountain.
Dora does not use Backpack or Map in this episode, due to her making a minor appearance.
- However, Backpack and Map will make their first appearances in Chito and Rita the Spectacled Bears and Diego's Great Dinosaur Rescue, respectively.
This episode aired on Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving Day 2005.
- Additionally, there was a Go, Diego, Go! marathon leading up to the episode's premiere at 11:30am et. The other episodes aired (in order) were: Chinta the Baby Chinchilla, Diego Saves the Mommy and Baby Sloth, Diego Saves Baby Humpback Whale, Rainforest Race, and The Mommy Macaw.
Alicia does not appear in this episode until the Let's Review segment.
This episode appears on the Rainforest Fiesta DVD, making this the only episode to appear on a 2008-09 DVD from the series.
This is Isabel's first appearance in the series, although her name is not mentioned until Linda the Librarian.
- Debuting in the original series' episode Super Babies' Dream Adventure (or First Day of School in production order) would be a girl with a similar hairstyle and same color clothes named Camilla.
This was the only episode where Boots and the Bobo Brothers were together.
The "fish" choice depicts of an orange fish that is alive and in the sea. However, in later episodes such as Little Kinkajou is in Beehive Trouble, Diego Saves Christmas, Sammy's Valentine, Diego and Alicia Save the Otters, The Iguana Sing Along, Super Flying Squirrel to the Rescue, and Gorilla Fun would use that same fish, except it is dead and on a plate, and in the last aforementioned episode, fried eggs will appear alongside it.
This episode premiered the same day as the Little Einsteins' Great Sky Race episode "Hungarian Hiccups".
When Click says "That's a Scarlet Macaw!", the audio is taken from Journey to Jaguar Mountain.
This was the last episode to premiere before the Toggolino rebrand in 2008.
This was the last episode of Go, Diego, Go! to be produced after the production of Dora's Fairytale Adventure before the producers went back to focusing on the main show to finish producing Dora's Dance to the Rescue in time for its release in the Fall of 2005.
This episode was aired 4 days after Best Friends aired. Coincidentally, both episodes have to do with Dora and her best friend Boots.
This is the last Go, Diego, Go! episode to premiere in 2005.
