Production Information

 * When the Mixels franchise was first announced, it was stated that the length of the series could be extended for longer storylines, if and when needed; this being an example. This is most likely the pilot for a full series; as such, all future episodes of this length will no longer be referred to as specials, but regular episodes.
 * The full name of the episode is Mixels: Moon Madness Special.
 * This will be the first new episode after the long in-between season hiatus, which lasted six months and nine days. This wait angered many fans, who were then relieved to see the show back in full force.
 * Unlike the previous half-hour special, this is one full twenty-two minute episode, making it the longest concurrent episode of the series to date; with the shortest being High Five.
 * On March 5th, a blog post on Cartoon Network's website was published to advertise the episode.

Broadcast Information

 * Many commercials advertising this episode were released throughout mid-Feburary and early March.
 * On various cable programming guides, the episode is referred to as an episode of a standalone Mixels series, unlike Mixed Up Special, which was on its own (and the shorts, which had no entries due to there being no set schedule for them).
 * There will be encore presentations on March 13th and 15th.

Trivia

 * The Orbitons, Glowkies and 2015 Infernites will appear, introducing the Series 4 characters into the show.
 * There is a Murp involving six Mixels. This proves that more than two Mixels can create a Murp, and more than three can make a character combination in general, even if they are not in the same tribe.
 * Maxes have appeared for the first time since Changing a Lightbulb; being of course the Orbitons Max, the Glowkies Max, and the Infernites Max. This is before the Series 2 and 3 Maxes even get to appear in the show, although their animated forms have appeared on Mixels.com.
 * There is a musical number present near the end of the episode, which makes it the third song of the series overall; the first of course being the theme song, and the second being Happy Birthday to Balk.
 * Some descriptions of the episode give the title an exclamation point at the end.
 * There is a new and improved intro in this special, which has a sketch style.
 * The Glowkies appear to be portrayed as antagonists at first in the episode. That makes the Glowkies the first Mixels to be portrayed as antagonists (not including Zorch).
 * This is the first ever episode to have all three combinations: a Mix, Max, and Murp.
 * Nixels now have high pitched voices, including Major Nixel; though his is still lower-pitched than the others.
 * This was the first time a Nixel spoke conversational English in the TV series; first, it was only in books and magazines.
 * This was the first time two members of one tribe mix.
 * Many bumpers were taken from in-between shorts in Mixed Up Special.
