Trivia

This is the second Adventure Time miniseries in the show, which aired as part of season 8. The first being Stakes, which aired as part of season 7, and a third titled Elements, which aired as a part of season 8.
The miniseries ties to a graphic novel sharing the same name, that serves as a prequel to the event.
- The "Adventure Time: The Official Cookbook" is also partly connected to the miniseries, revealing hints of important events that occurred in the miniseries.
The Islands miniseries was released on DVD and digital download on January 24, 2017.^[5]
In the theme song when Finn and Jake (dressed as mermen) are holding the "islands" banner, Finn appears with his right arm.
During the intro for Islands, Jake is shown wearing an eyepatch, a possible reference to how he collected eyepatches in "The Jiggler."
The miniseries also has a new intro, much like "Stakes," but with Jeremy Shada singing in the intro instead of Pendleton Ward.
- The intro was also animated by Masaaki Yuasa's animation studio, Science SARU and was storyboarded by Sam Alden.^[6]
The Islands miniseries has some direct references from a late 1960's TV show called The Prisoner. These direct references are seen in Susan's flashbacks of her past on Hub Island, and Minerva & Martin's past.
