Adaptation[]
- The series is well known in Latin American countries for its particular dub, which is full of references to Mexican culture. Many of the names of both characters and elements of the series were changed to common names and surnames from Hispanic countries, such as Miguel, or Guillermo; besides that some nicknames were also adapted.
- For example, Numbuh 4 is nicknamed "Güero", a Mexican idiom to refer to someone who is blond or light-skinned.
- For the same reason as above, many jokes from the culture of the United States are replaced by jokes related mainly to Mexico.
- Despite the fact that many references are exclusively Mexican, this did not prevent the series from being very successful outside of that country. In countries like Chile, it is one of the Cartoon Network series that has been broadcast the most, on different television channels. In addition, it is also recognized in all other countries in Latin American region.
- The series featured visual localization in Spanish, something that was not used on Cartoon Network Latin America at that time. This was used for the chapter titles (that is, the code names of the operations), which, as in English, are acronyms, although the translations of these were not exact to the original version, and were rather jokes. that could only be understood in Spanish.
- Despite the fact that everything is translated into Spanish on the screen in episode title cards, a voice over narrator usually reads everything that appears, which is a custom in dubs in Spanish. This same narrator also translates all the signs and words in English that appear.
- The series is also well remembered for including several double entendre jokes aimed at adults, thanks to the great creative freedom given to the dubbing team at that time. This is in sharp contrast to the current editorial line of Cartoon Network Latin America, which has applied a lot of censorship to its own content by including humor of this type, since the 2010s.
