The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5
Revealing mistake: When Professor X is telling Juggernaut that he is in his mind, if you look closely you can see there is a disembodied mouth on the right side of Professor X's face that is synchronized with his dialogue. Apparently an animation error. Note: this error may only apply to the DVD version of the episode, as it does not occur on the version of the episode that appears on Disney+. (00:04:00)

The Phoenix Saga (2): The Dark Shroud - S3-E4
Trivia: Beast can be seen wearing a Howard the Duck T-shirt in this episode.
28th Oct 2014
Trivia: This episode depicted Bella Donna as being Gambit's former fiancée. In the comics, the two were actually married. This change was likely made for the show due to it being too mature of a theme for a kids' show for Gambit to have both an estranged wife and an extramarital relationship with Rogue.

Trivia: Lady Deathstrike's outfit had to be slightly modified due to censorship issues. In the show she is wearing a white shirt under her vest. In the comics, the white shirt is not there, revealing a lot of cleavage. Obviously not acceptable for a kids' Saturday morning cartoon show. Director Larry Houston even stated that they deliberately drew her flat-chested in storyboards, because they knew her large breasts would be an issue. However, Philippine Animation Studio, Inc, who were hired to animate the episode, were supposedly huge fans of Marvel Comics and took it upon themselves to improve on the storyboards they were given, and animated her in such a way, that when she would turn, her breasts would follow through and settle. Houston claims he still has the raw VHS footage of this animation in storage.
