Trivia

Phil is in the cage behind Princess Bubblegum.
The oldest suitor mentioned says that he has been waiting for Princess Bubblegum for 300 years, indicating that she is much older than she looks. This is possible because she can modify her age by adding or taking away candy mass.

Cultural references

Braco appears to have a mask resembling the one Boba Fett, from the Star Wars saga, wears on the shelf in his room.
