*"Life's Ruff" is notable for being the only episode of any ''Mario'' cartoon where Mario does not appear, making [[Luigi]] the only character to appear in every episode. Additionally, [[Bowser|King Koopa]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Toad]] also do not appear, though the former two are mentioned.

*This is the only episode of ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' in which a Lakitu and Spiny appear. Both were previously seen in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Mario and the Red Baron Koopa]]".

*This episode has a similar plot to ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Just as in the game, a [[Mushroom King|king]] has his magic wand stolen and is turned into an animal, and a Mario brother has to get the magic wand back. The episode even features the same Koopaling who took over [[Ice Land]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' (which may be the same location), [[Lemmy Koopa]], though in the game he was not accompanied by [[Iggy Koopa]].

*In the original NBC airings, Luigi narrates the trailer promo saying, "If you think your life's rough, today I got turned into a dog. And had to stop the Koopas from hijacking a real-world space shuttle!"{{ref needed}}
