Correction: For whatever reason, ABC aired the episodes of this season out of order. It's not a mistake by the creators of the show, as they had no control over ABC's decision.

Gas - S1-E2

Corrected entry: After Eddie puts the frying pan in the gas man's hand, Richie starts attacking him again. In the next shot Eddie hits Richie over the head with the frying pan that he had just put in the gas man's hand. (00:11:00)

Dwarf

Correction: I have more than one frying pan. So do Richie and Eddie. Unless the submitter can provide more information to prove that it is the same frying pan, this can't be considered a mistake.

Rock TV - S1-E10

Corrected entry: When Mario and Luigi are wrestling two dinosaurs. Luigi gets flung in the air and Mario gets swung around and thrown in the air, when the two bump into each other, Mario and Luigi swap colours so Mario is green and Luigi is red. When the scene cuts to the next thing they're back to normal.

Correction: This swap was caused by the two brothers bashing into each other. As for how they suddenly changed back to normal this was most likely done for comic effect.

Correction: Sponge was trying to earn a tracking merit badge and determined her footwear from a print in the mud. Converse shoes and most 1990's flip-flops had a similar small diamond design on the sole so it was probably meant as a joke towards his poor deduction skills as he had goofed on most of his other tests.

The Girl from Ipanema - S1-E2

Corrected entry: Maria is from Brazil, as is stated various times throughout the episode, but has a Spanish accent. (Brazilians speak Portuguese, not Spanish. In the commentary for the DVD, the fact that the accent is Spanish is mentioned several times. No mention is made of the incongruity of the accent with Maria's country of origin, suggesting that this is an oversight rather than intentional).

paolog

Correction: Almost all the countries surrounding Brazil speak Spanish. It's well within the realm of possibilities that either Maria or her family speak Spanish so having an accent isn't necessarily a mistake. It depends on what her native language is, and the fact that is from Brazil doesn't negate the possibility that she could have a Spanish accent. Canada is officially bilingual; English and French, but parts of the country there are more people speaking Russian, German, Italian and many other languages than either of the official languages. As a result, you can hear a lot of different accents here as well.
