Differences[]
- Instead of Saying "I just love Blue's Clues," Sidetable Drawer asks Josh about the big news.
- The same thing happened later to Mailbox instead of asking a riddle about Steve.
- In the remake episode, Josh wore a pirate hat for the treasure hunt, but in the original episode, Steve didn’t wear a pirate hat for the treasure hunt.
- Also the treasure hunt map of a bird and a house was omitted.
- The picture of Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper on which the paw print for the second clue was was an illustration. In the original episode, it was a photograph.
- Speaking of which the remake has Josh trying very hard not to sneeze THRICE while trying to describe pepper, with him failing on the third try, the original had Steve only sniffled.
- After Josh finds the second clue, it was Mailtime. In the original episode, after Steve plays the riddle game with a sky blue Felt Friend with a green semicircle body, it was Mailtime while the pickle turns into the same treasure hunting map of letters and a box.
- In the Noggin play-along app version, Josh’s pirate hat had an orange feather that Blue made for him, but in the TV version, Josh’s pirate hat didn’t have a feather at all.
- After the So Long Song, when you turn up the volume real loud, you can hear Josh shushing at the viewer, then whispering “bye, thank you” very silently.
- The riddle game with a Felt Friend scene was cut.
- Freddy and Fifi make actual appearances on the red felt board reading a newspaper in this episode instead of appearing as drawings on the living room picture or on Blue's drawing, while the other Felt Friend didn't appear at all.
- None of these Felt Friends appear at the end unlike the original.
- Freddy and Fifi make actual appearances on the red felt board reading a newspaper in this episode instead of appearing as drawings on the living room picture or on Blue's drawing, while the other Felt Friend didn't appear at all.
- In the original after the video letter was played Steve realized that the back of the envelope has a drawing of Slippery Soap and comes to the bathroom to talk to him, but in the remake, Slippery Soap comes to Josh and talks to him.
- In the original episode the chalkboard is black with only a yellow chalk stick being used. In this episode the chalk board is dark green and Josh used sticks of chalk in lilac, blue, and orange.
- Sudsy appeared to Josh and Blue right after Josh erased the chalk wave. In the original episode, Steve and Blue waited a while after erasing the wave to meet him.
- In the original episode, Sudsy was black with an yellow chalk outline. In this episode it was dark green with an orange outline.
- Josh knew Sudsy's name even though he never introduced his name to Josh since Steve didn’t know Sudsy.

- Only Mr. Salt shook No and stayed where he was and Mrs. Pepper and the bottle moved the way they were.
- In the original, the We Just Figured Out Blue's Clues song is sung on the way to the kitchen, but in the reboot, it is sung after Josh arrives in the kitchen,
- Shovel, Pail, Tickety Tock, and Slippery Soap didn’t appear yet until after Steve tickled Paprika.
- Due to Paprika and Cinnamon already existing, Sage and Ginger were born instead.
- In the original, Steve sang the So Long Song normally, but in the remake, Josh sang a lullaby version of it.
- In the original, Steve didn't hold Paprika. In the reboot Josh held Sage and Ginger in his hand.
