Trivia

 * This episode does not have alliteration. The first letter of both words is the same, but pronounced as "Kupkaik Serkus".

 * This episode has the same pattern of timed levels as Lemonade Lake's (level 27 and level 32 compared with level 177 and level 182).
 * Level 183 was difficult before it got nerfed. Hence, this episode used to have a Hell's Cluster from levels 180-184.
 * This was formerly the hardest episode in the game.
 * This episode contains the hardest timed level in the game currently.
 * So far, this is the only episode in which the hardest level is a timed one (182).
