Trivia[]
Aang's official artwork, which appears on the game's front cover.
- Appa can be seen flying around the background of the Air Temple Courtyard.
- Appa, Momo, Sokka, and Iroh all appear on baseball cards that fans can collect after completing certain objectives in the game. They also all cameo on a loading screen.
- All of the playable Avatar characters cover the ball in their respective element when they pitch or perform a power hit, namely air for Aang, water for Katara, earth for Toph, and fire for Zuko.
- Additionally, all of these characters use bending in their intros, with the exception of Toph.
- Aang is voiced by Benjamin Helms, instead of Zach Tyler Eisen who voices him in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
- Interestingly, Dudley Puppy's new voice actor in this game is Jack DeSena, the voice of Sokka.
- In the character select, Zuko is referred to as "Prince Zuko".
- This is the last Nicktoons game where Mae Whitman, Michaela Murphy, and Dante Basco voiced Katara, Toph, and Zuko.
