Trivia

 * First and only appearance of Sir Malachi.
 * April, Leatherhead and Dr Rockwell were just illusions.
 * The title is a reference to the RPG movie "dungeons and dragons".
 * Princess April's bubble prison and her crown are references to Princess Daphne from the game Dragon's Lair. Also, the game's final boss is a non-flying dragon, just like Leatherhead was in the episode.
 * When Mikey says "Dude, I don't want to be stuck in the 1980s" this is a reference to the 80's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.
 * The manner in which Sir Malachi moves his crystal ball around his hand in one scene is a reference to Jareth The Goblin King from the Jim Henson film Labyrinth
 * Malachi's quote "Live long and LARP" is a reference to the Vulcan salute, which is "Live Long and Prosper".
 * The skeletons throughout Sir Malachi's Mazes and Mutants game looked strangely similar to the Rat King.
 * The Episode has references from The Lord of the Rings, a 3 volume book series written by J. R. R. Tolkien & a movie trilogy, which include:
 * Mikey's creepy obsession towards the +1 Ring of Awesome has the same characteristic as Gollum who was obsessed with the One Ring.
 * Donnie's final words, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" was said by the wizard Gandalf who faced the Balrog at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm and broke the Bridge, but was dragged down by the Balrog.
 * Plus, ironically enough, Raph's voice actor Sean Astin, played Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
 * And, on top of that, the "dragon" (who is actually Leatherhead) in the treasure pile is reminiscent of the dragon Smaug from the books.
