End Credits
Jeremy gives her a birthday present of a Mount Rushmore bobble-head set. Even though she disapproved of it before, Candace says that she loves it and pronounces that this was "the best birthday ever", just as Agent P parachutes in behind her.

Perry's entrance to his lair
By a trash bin at Mount Rushmore and a lengthy travel tube ride. His trip is delayed for a few seconds to let Agent R go first through an intersection in the travel tube. (Perry returns to Mount Rushmore by exiting through the door on the side of the house and hops into a nearby bush to re-enter the travel tube.)

The bird that runs into Phineas and Ferb's invention
It runs into the "Plan B" painting, knocking it over, revealing the real Mount Rushmore.

Errors

 * When Isabella talks to Linda at the gift shop, Ginger stands next to her. But when the camera zooms in on Isabella, Ginger is colored with Katie's color scheme. Also at the same time, when Isabella and the Fireside Girls first show up, Isabella is wearing her uniform (but with her regular hair bow in place of her beret). When she comes upon Phineas and Ferb working on the monument, she's switched to her regular outfit.
 * Before Doofenshmirtz enters the drillinator, the door handle is shown horizantally, but is vertical with an indentation when he closes the door.
 * When Isabella says "They're getting closer!", her eyes are black instead of blue.
 * In the end credits when this is a full episode, under additional voices, Jeff "Swamp" Marsh is seen instead of "Swampy".
 * Arrivederci is actually Italian for goodbye, not Chinese.
 * When Candace says "Perry?!" she's wearing her normal clothes before her night gown.
 * At the end of the song Candace, the background singers' mouths don't move.
 * When Perry comes out of the trash can, his eyes are briefly blue.
 * When Doofenshmirtz tells Perry his plan, the D on the Drillinator is dark red instead of bright red.
 * In the beginning, when Phineas wakes up, he has two pillows, but after he throws one pillow at Ferb he has none.

Allusions

 * Theodore Roosevelt - The "big sticks" sold in the gift shop are a reference to Roosevelt's famous slogan, "Speak soflty and carry a big stick."
 * Superman - Perry drills strait down into the ground, like the titular character did in the Superman movie.
 * Metal Slug 3 - The Drillinator looks like the Drill Slug of Metal Slug 3.
