* PhlebotinumProofRobot: Given how he's basically a giant handheld game system, Game Boy isn't affected with the zombifying ink, thus allowing him to play a key role in not only retrieving the antidote to undo the zombification, but to also save Kevin from becoming a zombie himself after the rest of the N Team fall victim to the ink.

* MythologyGag: One of the early concepts for a Saturday morning cartoon based on Nintendo games that eventually gave rise to ''Captain N'' was a show called ''Buddy Boy''. It would've been based on ''Paperboy'', but have the Nintendo characters come to life in the real world he inhabited, and the paperboy having to deal with their antics. The setting and characters of this episode reuse those early designs.
