During the month of May, the JumpStart MMO had assorted seasonal features pertaining to the holiday Cinco de Mayo, which occurs on May 5th.

Romance tends to not be featured in JumpStart media. In particular, when it comes to characters who have been a part of JumpStart's main cast, only two have expressed clear romantic attraction at some point, those being Edison and Botley, and even then only in one instance each. In Edison's case, he is depicted as being infatuated with a cat named Sybil in the game JumpStart Reading for Second Graders (top). In Botley's case, he is depicted as having a crush on a robot named Brunwella the Bombshell in JumpStart 3rd Grade, the last robot to be rescued in the game (bottom).

A JumpStart Blog post from 2012 titled "Bid Farwell to the February FunZones!" included a description of an upcoming bounce house (or jump house) FunZone. This attracted a comment from an account named "Chicago Bounce House", which appears to be the only comment they ever made on the blog.

In JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade, Polly communicates via a series of monitors and screens set up all throughout Mystery Mountain. Each of these has a distinctly different appearance, as seen in this compilation.

There is a school in India which apparently uses Frankie as its mascot, specifically, artwork of Frankie from the Advanced series with the letters 'DP' edited onto his shirt and flag, as seen in the comparison image here (middle). This has been the case since at least 2014, as their Facebook account shows.

Botley's name clearly references him being a robot by containing 'bot', something that carried over to the Swedish release of JumpStart 3rd Grade, in which he is named Roybot. This is in contrast to his name in the Finnish release, which is Roope, a perfectly ordinary Finnish name equivalent to the English name "Robert".

A tumblr blog focused on animation smears from various media once recieved a submission of a frame from JumpStart Languages. As it turns out, the post was submitted by the actual animator of the scene in question, Tracy Reynolds (credited as Tracy Wagner in JumpStart Languages).
