Cultural references[]
- Fred makes reference to the tagline of Jaws 2. This is the second What's New, Scooby-Doo? episode to do that after J.J. Hakimoto did it in the first season episode 3-D Struction.
- Shaggy believes that yoga was invented by Yogi Bear.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches[]
- Shaggy is pulled head first into the sand but Rama Yam has his feet.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities[]
- When Fred, Daphne and Velma enter the tunnel, the airlock is full of water. How come it didn't get flooded?
- The plan to dig the reef way between Australia and New Guinea using manual labor is highly improbable - or as Velma described it, "insane". The shortest distance between the tourist areas of The Great Barrier Reef and Papua New Guinea is approximately 800 kilometers (500 miles). Even the shortest distance between the countries is about 150 kilometers (95 miles).
- It is unknown what happened to the other members of Smash Mouth during the mystery or how the sand got there.
- In reality there are underwater highways. Arguably the most famous is the Channel Tunnel between Folkstone, England and Coquelles, France - although it only carries trains, not road traffic.
- There is no explanation for the origin of the Scooby Snack that woke Shaggy and Scooby from their trance - but it was likely one of the ones loaded into their backpacks.
- How did the medallion not hypnotize the gang when they first saw it?
