Rotten Plan: Robbie tries to convince Stingy that he is really royalty.

Internal Cross References: The Retractable Stage/Podium, Shake it Piggy, The Underground Jail, The Treasure Chest, New Town Rules, Stephanie Facepalm, This episode reminds us of the Season 3 episode - "The Blue Knight".
External Cross References: Robbie's Purple Phoenix sigil, The Fleur de Lis, The lost shoe gag reminds us of the story of Cinderella. Stingy asks Sportacus "What's wrong with the World" which is the Title of a famous GK Chesterton novel on social issues. Later Stingy declares himself "The Child formerly known as Prince" which is a reference to the Music Artist formerly known as Prince.
Bloopers / Mistakes / Weird Things: When Sportacus calls down the Skychaser it goes for an extra loop around LazyTown and Sportacus gives it a strange look when it finally stops. We are never told how Robbie got hold of Stingy's shoe. Sportacus loops a rope around the airship platform to his right, but when he calls down the Slider gadget it falls from straight above him. Later the slider gadget disappears and reappears when he needs it.
