  • Cross-Dressing Voices: Twipsy is voiced by Ariadna Jiménez (a female) in the European Spanish dub.
  • He Also Did: Dan Russell (Twipsy's voice actor in the English dub) also voiced many characters in The Amazing World of Gumball.
    • Carlos Macedo (Twipsy's voice actor in the 1st European Portuguese dub) is better known as the European Portuguese voice of Bob the Builder.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Although the original English version has been found in its entirety, some dubs such as Hungarian, Greek, Irish, and Brazilian Portuguese are considered lost.
    • The Exposeeum has the entire series in German for archival reasons. Due to rights issues, there is no telling if the German dubbed episodes are released.
    • A Game Show called "Twipsy's Network" was made to coincide with the Hebrew dub of the show. Both are lost to this day.
    • There were a series of animated shorts featuring Twipsy traveling around the world. None of the shorts in question have been found yet.
  • Marth Debuted in "Smash Bros.": The animated series was Twipsy's debut in certain countries that didn't take part in Expo 2000.
  • No Export for You: Despite their participation in Expo 2000, the animated series has not aired in Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mongolia, or the Netherlands.
  • Screwed by the Network: When Disney Channel aired the show in Italy, it was aired very early in the mornings, when the target audience was still asleep.
    • When Minimax aired the show in Hungary, all 26 episodes were aired in less than a year, and the show got pulled after only a few months with very few reruns despite being featured in December 2001 in the first issue of Minimax Magazin, the channel's magazine.
  • Technology Marches On: The show is pretty dated for its standards, considering how computers have evolved since its premiere.
    • In context to the year the series has been released (late 1999), the series would have been considered state of the art for its time.
