Trivia[]
- Even though his Skystone states he is in the Dark element, Pandergast has his own symbol in SuperChargers Racing. The symbol resembles his hat and is used for the two playable Pandergast vehicles, the Clunker and the Blunder Bucket.
- In the Wicked Tour, there are Greebles that pilot an unnamed Sky version of the Pandergast vehicles.
- In SuperChargers Racing, Pandergast is heavily advertised as the main antagonist. This is not the case in the final game, as he is merely a neutral character.
- Pandergast's name is based on the word "pander".
- On the Xbox One, some players may encounter a bug with a Pandergast Challenge titled "Earn the Bronze" where Pandergast says to "Earn Bronze in any Sky Racing Cup". This challenge has a bug that players could encounter, where they instead need to complete and earn at least third place on either the Land Villain Cup, or Land Mirror Cup. It is unknown at this time if similar challenges have similar bugs, or if other console versions are also affected.
- A voice similar to Pandergast's is heard throughout the level The Future of Skylands announcing Wolfgang's plan about the Big Bad Woofer (however this may be unintentional foreshadowing of his appearance).
- Pandergast is seen on the icon of every difficulty setting in Skylanders: SuperChargers Racing.
