The title card theme was removed for the surround mixing. Thus, it is only heard up to v1.2.0 (stereo audio).

In other languages

Other languages use evolutions of v1.3.0 as their base, so the title card theme is absent in all of them.

The episode was converted to PAL (sped up and pitched up by 1001⁄960 ≃ 1.04).

The opening uses the French version of Sonic Drive.

The Sonic Drive insert at 18:13 is replaced by the Korean version.
