- Cindy Robinson is the only voice actor from the video game to reprise her character role as Zola.
- Steve Staley, Lex Lang, Sam Riegel, Michael McConnohie and Richard Epcar were all part of the video game's voice cast, but here they voice different characters instead of reprising their roles.
- Although airing edited, the series was dubbed uncut. The uncut version has only been released on DVD in the United Kingdom.
