* Chronologically, this is the earliest story to feature the Daleks and the Cybermen alongside each other. It is not, however, the first story to feature them both — an honour instead held by the television story ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'' (or more accurately the [[The Five Doctors (novelisation)|novelisation]] which was released first). It is also not the earliest story to be ''produced'' in which the Daleks and Cybermen appear side by side each other since, as it was [[2008 (releases)|released in 2008]], it was beaten to that position by the television story ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' by two years.
* Daleks are present in the TARDIS. Once more, ''The Ultimate Adventure'' is chronologically the earliest story in which this has happened. From a release standpoint however, it was beaten by the novel ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'' in [[1997 (releases)|1997]] and the television story ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'' in [[2005 (releases)|2005]].
* This story sees a very rare instance where the Sixth Doctor has a [[sonic screwdriver]] in his possession, though it does not explain when or where he obtained another one to replace his [[Fifth Doctor|predecessor]]'s after it was destroyed in the television story ''[[The Visitation (TV story)|The Visitation]]''.
