Short summary
Beast Boy is referred to as a "quick-witted changeling", and Speedy is called "an agile archer with a limitless arsenal of energy arrows". During the 80s, Beast Boy briefly changed his name to Changeling in an attempt to be taken seriously, and Speedy's current name is Arsenal.
This episode features first appearances of Speedy, Hotspot and Wildebeest; and the second appearance of Aqualad; all of whom become honorary members this episode.
Aqualad and Speedy are pitted against each other in the first round of the tournament. In the original comics series, Speedy replaced Aqualad on the team.
The Master of Games was a character created for the animated series and did not make a prior appearance in the comics.
This episode's original working title was "It's How You Play The Game" but it was retitled "Winner Take All."
In the comics, Speedy - sidekick to Green Arrow - was a founding member of the Teen Titans as detailed in TEEN TITANS #53 [a flashback origin story] in 1978. Speedy later became the hero known as Arsenal. Speedy/Arsenal has been a member of just about every incarnation of the Titans.
The comment Beast Boy makes about Speedy being a 'Robin clone' is more than amusing. In the 1960s, Green Arrow and his sidekick Speedy had much in common with Batman & Robin. Green Arrow had an Arrowcave, and Arrowmobile and an array of gadget arrows. Green Arrow was a millionaire in his alter ego, and adopted a young orphan, Roy Harper [Speedy]. In the 1970's, Green Arrow and Speedy were developed to stand on their own - with unique personalities. And the Batman/Robin similarities have become something of a running joke.
Wildebeest was originally a mysterious villain dressed in a Wildebeest costume who first appeared in "The New Teen Titans (vol. 2) #36-37. Later, it was revealed there was a whole Wildebeest Society; To that end, the original Wildebeest, who became the Society's leader, created the clever strategy of permitting only one member to be seen in public at any one time. The Society was defeated by the Titans, leaving them with a baby Wildebeest. Baby Wildebeest was a genetic experiment created by the evil society. The docile baby would hulk-out to a giant Wildebeest creature to defend his newfound friends, the Titans.
In the original synopsis for this episode, Hotspot was listed as 'Joto' - the name he had when he became a member of the reformed second group of Teen Titans in "Teen Titans" (vol. 2) #1 . Although 'Joto' means heat in Swahili, the show's creative team learned what that meant in Spanish and changed his name to Hotspot.
