The plot of the first episode of the Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends series ("The Triumph Of The Green Goblin"), which was produced at the same time as the latter episodes of this series, is very similar to this episode, with some scenes virtually identical to the later series' episode. 

- An in-joke can be seen as one of the passenger's on
the same train as Osborn is reading the old Marvel
humor-mag, Crazy, with a bizarrely-colored Iron Man
on the cover. 

- Another in-joke, one of the party-goers is dressed a
(again, bizarrely-colored and bare-chested!) Cyclops. 

- According to this episode, Spidey first encountered
the Green Goblin three years previously (which would
strictly make it 1978), on Halloween night. 

- The events of the Green Goblin and Spider-Man
discovering each others' identities "three years" prior
to this episode first occurred in the comics with The
Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1) #39-40 in 1966. 

- This is the only episode in which Spidey's underarm
webs are (briefly) seen. 

- The memory amplifier appears as a much more
simplified device (plot wise as well as visually), called
the Future Finder in the "The Triumph Of The Green
Goblin" episode of Spider-Man And His Amazing
Friends.
