• Shaggy mentions having eaten at a wrestling arena, which happened in Wrestle Maniacs.

Notes/trivia

• In this episode, Fred tries to shortcut the formula by trapping the villain before the mystery is solved. Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
• Scooby is shown to be afraid of ice (or Pagophobia) because of an incident where the hotel ice maker lid slammed on his whole tail and freezing it.

Cultural references

• The title is a parody of the famous song "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend".
• Tsar Nicolai II is a parody of Tsar Nicholas II.
• The ice resurfacer is called Zamboni after its creator, Frank J. Zamboni.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

• Shaggy's neck is too fat when he's carrying Scooby.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

• Velma has a never before mentioned love for ice hockey. While it may appear to be an inconsistency, it's possible it's something she came to love over time off-screen.
• Galena is probably extremely fast since the frozen fiend appears on the other side of the rink in the Zamboni.
