Trivia

 * This is one of the few episodes that feature references to Star Wars.
 * When Buster said "Oh, the humanity!," that is referencing something the reporter Herbet Morrison said when he witnessed the Hindenburg Blimp crashed.
 * The name of the famous marbles player "Lefty" Raposo may be referencing the writer Nick Raposo from the show.
 * The Stinkachu card pokes fun at the original Pikachu from Pokemon.

Goofs

 * When Buster is telling Arthur there are seven different types of candy on the prize, Buster is holding up eight fingers instead of seven.
 * D.W. is at the marbles tournament despite not having signed up.

Comments

 * After #60902 - "Crushed" wasn't literally about being crushed by something, I figured that this wouldn't be a literal title either. But then it was.
 * It's a very boring episodes if you are not interested in marbles.
