- In the first few episodes, Sandy was called by her original English name.
- Most of the voice actors have also appeared in other Venezuelan-made Spanish dubs and in some Mexican dubs.
- Many characters have been recast several times due to pay disputes or actors leaving Venezuela due to the country's political climate.
- The only characters to respect their voices since season 1 are only Squidward and the Flying Dutchman.
- Patchy the Pirate although he made his debut in the season 2, he did not change his voice actor either.
