Stripes is the second Monster Machine introduced after Blaze. He was also the first Monster Machine Blaze had to rescue in Blaze of Glory.
Stripes is the first character to be absent in an episode, starting with The Bouncy Tires.
He is one of the only Monster Machines other than Blaze to have no roof and have an interior. The third is Watts and the fourth is Blaze's dad.
Despite having no roof, no one ever drove Stripes. The same even goes for Blaze's dad too as well.
This is because of that both have an exposed engine.
Stripes will often growl or snarl when excited or shocked, or whenever he jumps or climbs.
Stripes' tail appears stationary, though it can be sentient time to time. In Tool Duel, it wiggles a bit just before Darington reverses again, and in Runaway Rocket it droops as he loses the rocket game. When he transforms into Super Tiger Stripes, it becomes an actual tiger tail.
Stripes is the fifth Monster Machine other than Blaze to sing something, as shown in Truck Rangers when he sang the jingle along with Blaze and AJ.
The first was Darington.
The second was Crusher.
The third was Starla.
The fourth was Pickle.
Stripes is the first Monster Machine other than Blaze to undergo a transformation process, in this case, Super Tiger Stripes in Animal Island and Ready, Set, Roar!.
He also was the only Monster Machine to not say what he was transforming into in the Wild Wheels Mini Series mainly since it was very obvious to what he was transforming into (Super Tiger Stripes).
Stripes, Crusher and Pickle are the only main characters other than Blaze and AJ to go to Animal Island more than once; the rest only went once.
Stripes' horn sound is a classic "aooga" cartoon sound effect.
Though it has only been heard once so far, in Tool Duel.
Stripes has gotten dizzy three times so far; in The Jungle Horn when he gets hit by Crusher's robot chef, in The Wishing Wheel when he fails to make it through the giant loop-de-loop, and in Tow Truck Tough when he falls onto a ledge in the canyon.
Stripes has his own leitmotif that plays whenever he appears, consisting of an African or Brazilian jungle theme with congas and maracas.
Despite being based off a tiger, tigers don't live in Africa nor Brazil.
Stripes' claws are actually more like decorative spikes and not actual claws. When he becomes Super Tiger Stripes, he gets actual protractile claws like a real tiger.
Out of all the characters without a Blazing Speed engine, Stripes used Blazing Speed the most, with a total of seven times.
He is the first Monster Machine whose engine is permanently exposed - the second being Blaze's dad.
To date, Stripes has been the only tiger truck in the series, and the closest thing to a regular tiger as well.
Zeg and Stripes is the only one who has a part monster machine and part animal.
Stripes is the only one of Blaze’s friends other than Crusher and Pickle to go to Animal Island more than once, as the others only went once.
Stripes is the only Monster Machine other than Blaze to appear in the "Wild Wheels" miniseries intro.
He is also the only one other than Blaze to appear in all the miniseries intros.
Stripes is the second main character to be shown sleeping after Crusher.
Season 4 is the only season where Stripes doesn't have a solo episode with Blaze.
