Trivia

 * Simon is in junior high and in 8th grade.
 * In Seasons 1-3, Simon starts out as a teenager. Yet, in Season 3’s last episode, Season 4’s first episode and the very beginning and very end of the movie, he is an adult, while in the rest of Season 4 and the movie, he is a teenager.
 * His and even Ryker's favorite school subjects are English, history, P.E. (Which stands for physical education), and science.
 * His and even Ryker's least favorite school subject is math, especially algebra.
 * His little sister, Sally, often bugs him. For instance, if she does this to either him or Ryker, either one will tell her to “Get out of our room,” attempt to physically abuse her, or bandage her head up with duct tape. However, his and Ryker's parents, including Anya, Molly, and their families, helped him and Ryker reconnect with Sally by "[Getting] to know the real [her]." and understand why she bugs the twins during their treasure hunt for Cherroka. And sure enough, when Ryker and Simon read her heartwarming poem about her loving her brothers dearly and that she constantly bugs them is because they never wanted to play with her lately during their underground trek upon getting separated from her and the others, they immediately accepted Sally as a good sister and after coming to her and their friends' rescue upon finding Cherroka, Ryker and Simon promised Sally that they'll treat her well and play with her more in the future, a promise kept true for the rest of the series afterwards.
 * He, like Simon, does not like being grounded or sent to detention.
