This episode brings back Don Karnage, the leader of the Sky Pirates from TaleSpin (1990). TaleSpin (1990) was originally planned on being a spinoff of DuckTales (1987).
Despite Jim Cummings having been in the DuckTales (2017) Reboot cast, he does not reprise his role as Don Karnage in this episode, who is instead voiced by Mexican Actor Jaime Camil, to keep up the trend of the creators wanting to find actors of the same sort of nationality to voice characters in the show.
Cape Suzette, where TaleSpin (1990) takes place, was previously mentioned in the first episode, tying in the connection.
This is the first Disney production where Don Karnage is voiced by someone other then Jim Cummings, who he voiced in every appearance prior.
Not counting the theme song, the song dedicated to Don Karnage and his sky pirates is the first time in the DuckTales (2017) Reboot where a song is used to represent the characters. This was previously used twice in the Original DuckTales (1987) with a song dedicated to Bubba the Caveduck in the episode "Time is Money, Part 3" and to the Beagle Boys in the episode "Beaglemania".
