Mammoth overpowers Starfire and slams her into the ground. First we see her lying in an indentation in the ground in the same shape as herself, but when Robin lands near her soon afterwards, she is lying on level ground, and the indentation has disappeared. See more...

X-X "The Lost Episode": Character cameos: In the concerto audience you can find Mad Mod, Slade's former butler and the former HIVE headmistress. Also, the conductor appears to be Mumbo in his non-sorcerous form ("The Sum Of His Parts").
X-X "The Lost Episode": Some other character cameos in the concerto audience include the two English ladies talking about fish in "Revolution", and Dr. Victor Payten, his interviewer, and the soap opera character Rebecca from "Episode 257-494".
The Sum of His Parts (series 1)
Cyborg's meeting with the boy with the hand prosthesis is a subtle hint on how Cy from the comic series would first meet the most important woman in his life: Sarah Simms.
Fractured (series 2)
The title song for this episode was sung by Puffy AmiYumi producer Toshiro Kai. The passing of Larry on the bike is also reminiscent of the title sequence of each episode from the 60s Batman series, where Yvonne Craig guest-starred as Batgirl.
Date With Destiny (series 2)
When Starfire jumps in front of the monitor, yelling at Kitten, in a "semi-chibi" form, if you look closely, you can see that her breasts jiggle up and down. There is even a bouncy sound effect for it. This is the only time that Starfire's (or any female character's) breasts move in the entire show.
Every Dog Has His Day (series 2)
The sports car owner crying about his missing rear bumper, which Soto's dog has gulped up, is a cartoon version of series director Ciro Nieli. He has another cameo as an online nerd in fifth season's "For Real".
The Beast Within (series 3)
When Beast Boy flips through the channels, we can catch a short glimpse of a car company advertisement which uses Adonis' logo; and if you look closely, you can see that several parts of the car on offer match parts on Adonis' battlesuit. My guess is that Adonis must have some connection to the car manufacturer in question and uses the production facilities and spare car parts to build his armor.
Revolution (series 3)
Many greetings from the famous English comedian troupe Monty Python can be found in this episode, particularly the city background: The black and white cutouts were a staple element of the MP cartoon sketches.
Spellbound (series 3)
Robin's line "Kardiak, you're under arrest!" is of course a word pun on the medical term "cardiac arrest". And given that Kardiak is a giant heart - enough said.
X (series 3)
When Robin and Red X jump to the attack against Dr. Chang's henchmen, a white dove passes across the screen. The white dove passing by is the trademark of film director John Woo, stemming from an idea he had for his film The Killer.
The warehouse in which the Titans combat the new Red X is actually the same warehouse which housed the disco party in "Sisters", right down to the SOTO (after series co-director Alex Soto) neon sign.
One of Beast Boy's possible choices for Red X's identity is "part of a clone army". If you stop at the right time, you can indeed see Robin wearing a Star Wars clone trooper armor suit (sans helmet).
Red X pulls on Robin's mask, which pulls the flesh and skin around his eyes along with it as if it was glued on, and lets it snap back into place. In the comics, Dick Grayson (at least as Nightwing) indeed uses an adhesive named spirit gum to keep the mask on his face.
The End (2) (series 4)
While the Titans fight their own evil sides summoned by Trigon, the evil Cyborg taunts the good Cyborg about having no mother. As a matter of fact, in the mainstream comic series Cyborg's mother died because of a botched experiment by his father, which summoned an interdimensional monster. It was also on that day that Cyborg received his cybernetic prosthetics due to injuries the monster had inflicted on him.
Mother Mae-Eye (series 4)
The girl in the clothes shop which gets raided by the HIVE Five is the video store girl from "Fear Itself"; she even wears the same things. Obviously, after the unsettling events involving Control Freak's first appearance, she decided to switch jobs.
Among the "mystical items" offered by the gypsy, we can find Control Freak's remote, the Wicked Scary Monster prop-up from "Fear Itself", and the Puppet King marionette from "Switched".
Employee of the Month (series 4)
In reflection, the production and creative staff freely admitted that when they concocted this episode, their sense of seriousness had perhaps totally gone overboard some way through the creation process.
The emerging of the Nufu Source's protective chamber is of course a spoof on the unearthing of the huge cryogenic chamber in the movie Akira.
Cyborg the Barbarian (series 4)
Sarasim is an anagram of the name Sarah Simms, a long-lasting love interest of Cyborg in the original comic series.
The Quest (series 4)
Beast Boy, dressed up as Robin, popping through a paper-covered hoop, is a spoof on Robin the Boy Wonder's first comic appearance on the cover of Detective Comics issue 38 from 1940.
