Notes[]
- This is the first piece of Niko-related media to have its German dub recorded in Cologne (and not to be dubbed at Interopa Film); This resulted in a different cast than those from the previous two films.
- Despite the change, Olaf Reichmann reprised his role as Julius, making him the only actor to do so.
- Both Olaf Reichmann (Julius) and Josefine Preuß (Wilma) recorded their lines respectively in Berlin at the Mixwerk Synchron studios; This makes them as the only two actors to record in that location.
- Despite the change, Olaf Reichmann reprised his role as Julius, making him the only actor to do so.
- Localization
- Only the title card is localized, the opening and main ending titles has been left out in it's original language unlike the previous two films.
- Other
- Theatrical pre-screenings omits the Telepool logo card at the beginning of the film, it was later added in future releases.
- As Telepool (and to an lesser extent, Global Screen) were acquired by SquareOne around May 2024, the corresponding logos were updated at the end of the credits to reflect this change.
