In the show, the character Raven is obsessed with a series called "Pretty Pretty Pegasus." This is because Tara Strong, the voice of Raven, plays Twilight Sparkle in the TV Series "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic".
Clips from the original series appear in some episodes such as "The Mask" and "Dreams".
The Japanese dubs often add jokes that play on the title of the show since GO in Japanese also means five which represents the number of main characters.
It is revealed that Beast Boy is a vegetarian due to the fact that if he ate meat it would be cannibalism since he can transform into various animals, such as a cow.
Although the principal voice cast from the original series returns to reprise their respective roles, this show has no continuity to the previous series, and only certain elements are retained, except for the episode "The Mask" in which Robin talks about the old team/show.
