Visible crew/equipment: Machete shows the mini spy plane to Carmen and Juni, and when he says, "It's built for one passenger..." visible in the plane's window, standing beside Carmen, there is a perfect reflection of a crew member holding the large white reflector screen, just out of camera shot. (00:54:35)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When the kids take the map from Machete, there is no hat on the headboard, no table, no lamp or drink and his pillow has vertical lines. Yet in the following shot when Machete wakes up to hear the rumble of the plane's engine and realizes the map is gone, numerous things change drastically. The headboard, though similar, is not the same one, his pillow now has broad horizontal lines, there is a yellow hard hat hanging on the corner of his headboard and a lamp on a small table with a large drink on it, are beside the bed!! (00:55:50 - 00:56:45)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: While Machete is asleep, Juni takes the map to Floop's castle and Machete grabs his wrist. As Carmen tries to loosen Machete's grip, in the semi close-up Machete has Juni's bare wrist in his tight grasp, but in the following close-up he holds the entire cuff of Juni's shirt within his fingers. The way Juni holds the map differs in both shots as well. (00:56:05)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: While Carmen and Juni nick spy goodies in Machete's shop, Carmen picks up a mini laser light saber and turns it on. As she moves it back and forth the reflection is visible in the dome below, but only the handle she holds is actually reflected. (00:56:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Carmen and Juni fly towards Floop's castle in the mini spy plane, the position of Carmen's arms around Juni changes over and over again in the side and front consecutive shots. (00:58:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Carmen and Juni drop from the mini spy plane near the castle, in the first shot as they fall Juni does not wear his air tank and regulator as Carmen wears hers, however, as they hit the water he wears it. (00:59:00)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Juni and Carmen arrive at Floop's castle, in the first shot, as their heads pop up out of the water, their hair is completely flat and soaked, yet, in the next shot as they see the Thumb Thumb and all the following shots, their hair is not nearly as wet. (00:59:45)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: As Carmen and Juni stand in the shadows and encounter the first Thumb Thumb at the castle, the black oxygen tube on Carmen's shoulder changes position in consecutive shots, as does Juni's position behind Carmen. (01:00:10)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After Carmen zaps the Thumb Thumb with Machete's Electroshock Gumball, she takes another wrapped one out to show Juni. In the wide shot, the wrapped gumball that she holds does not have a back sticker, yet, in the close-up she turns the gumball over to read, "Long lasting," on the back white sticker with the ingredients. (01:00:20)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: When Juni descends on the wire to speak with Agent Donnagon the Fooglie, the wire attached at Juni's hip differs with the harness and wire that are attached to Juni's upper back in other shots. (01:01:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After Juni asks Agent Donnagon about his mom and dad, he ascends to Carmen, who waits up top. In the wide shots as Juni ascends and descends, the puzzle shaped cover on the circular opening, over Juni's head, is positioned a certain way, yet in the semi close-ups it is positioned differently. (01:01:45)

Visible crew/equipment: After Carmen uses Machete Bubbles to shock the four Thumb Thumbs, she and Juni drop down on the wires. A pair of hands are actually visible at Carmen's back, as she begins her descent, but they were alone up there! (01:02:10)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: After the Machete Bubbles knock-out the four Thumb Thumbs, Juni and Carmen descend on their individual wires, then once on the ground they remove their wires. The wires that remain hanging are not the ones they actually descended with. (01:02:10)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: The four Thumb Thumbs fall, after being zapped by Machete's Bubbles, yet in the following shots when Juni and Carmen descend, their bodies lie in completely different positions. (01:02:10)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Carmen tells the four Fooglies, "We'll be back for you, fellow agents," she uses her arms to calm the Fooglies, and the band on her right upper arm is much higher up in the second shot. (01:02:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: The robot children pass Carmen and Juni, who are hiding in a doorway in a specific area off the long corridor. However, when Carmen and Juni decide to follow the robots to try and find the dungeon, they run out of their hiding place from a completely different area along that corridor. (01:02:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Juni says, "This is the ventilator shaft, here," in the wide shots the map faces a particular way, however, in the close-up of the map with his right thumb, the map now faces the opposite way in his hands. (This has nothing to do with the angle of the camera.) (01:02:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Carmen and Juni start to follow the robot children when they try to get to the dungeons undetected. The position of the braids/plaits on the robot girl in front of them changes over and over again in consecutive shots. (01:02:40)

Super Grover

Deliberate mistake: When Juni runs out of the white/grey room, the next shot is flipped as he stops short in front of the backwards virtual room sign. When Juni rescues Floop from the virtual room, as they run out the door that white/grey room is visible to the left of the virtual room. (01:03:15 - 01:07:30)
