Legendary Ranger Modes

 * Super Megaforce Green - Black Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Galaxy Green, Zeo Ranger IV, Green Samurai Ranger
 * Super Megaforce Pink - Pink Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Galaxy Pink, unnamed Pink Ranger, Pink Time Force Ranger, Pink Samurai Ranger
 * All Team Legendary Ranger Modes were not only Saban produced teams, but were also the first teams of their respective eras:
 * Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - Zordon Era
 * Power Rangers Lost Galaxy - Post-Zordon Era
 * Samurai Rangers - Neo-Saban Era
 * Jake morphs into the first black and the first green regular rangers. Incidentally, both those powers have been used by Adam Park.
 * Another coincidence is that Jake (who is the last regular black ranger) also morphs into the last regular green ranger.
 * Noah is the only one that didn't use singular Legendary Ranger Modes in this episode.
 * The Mighty Morphin' Legendary Ranger Mode marks the first time the Super Mega Rangers morphs into all the core members of a team from the first Saban Era.
 * The appearance of Yellow Mask and Pink Flash marks the first time Sentai Rangers from the Showa Era appear in an episode of Power Rangers.

Elements/Homages to Power Rangers Samurai

 * Jayden's advice to the Mega Rangers about how to beat Matacore is the same advice given to Mike in the Samurai episode, The Team Unites.
 * Like the final battle of Super Samurai, a mentor to the current team of Rangers, in this episode Jayden, offers his assistance to the Super Mega Rangers through a Power Disc, more specifically, the Double Disc.
 * Matacore baring any resemblance to  Master Xandred, except he's blue, black and silver and bears less armor.

Errors

 * The Double Disk is used incorrectly by Troy in this episode, as instead of creating a copy of the Fire Smasher (as it did in Samurai Forever as well as being used correctly by Noah) it instead unleashes a fire attack.
 * This is due to conflicting stock footage useages, as the scene where Troy placed the Double Disk onto the Fire Smasher was from Shinkenger/Super Samurai, while the Fire Smasher attack was from Gokaiger.
 * When Gia transforms into the Yellow Space Ranger, she didn't say the morphing command "Let's Rocket".
