From Official Instagram[]
Yellow and Red, planned to travel to Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do (One of the cities in South Korean, a reference since the show is created in South Korea by TubaN) for summer vacation and get on the bus to Hwaseong. However, the bus that they get on was not for Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, but the bus was for Planet Mars Research Institute. When Yellow and Red arrive at the lab they meet Mars researchers there (Mars in Korean is also Hwaseong). The researchers told Yellow and Red "Bring a Martian to Earth and i'll give you a sausage!". Fell for the words, Yellow and Red board to a spaceship that heading to Mars.
Arrived on Mars, Yellow and Red met the Martians. They tell them about "Earth" and also told them there could be only one of them that can be taken back to Earth. The Martians interested and start showing off themselves to get to "fantastic planet Earth" that they imagined. The story will be about who will Yellow and Red bring back to earth after a long series of the Martians making sure that they are eligible to be on earth.

Trivia[]
- This is the 2nd Larva series that is in 2D entirely, the first one is Larva Kids.
- This series is released on YouTube, just like the first 3 seasons of the Larva series, and Larva Kids too.
- The very first series to fully introduced any aliens characters (larva season 1 are just concepts of it) (larva in china kind of does it on one of the episodes on their 2nd season).
- There are many Korean writings in the show posters, or other objects.
- This is the second officially said to be the alternate universe version of Yellow and Red's adventures, the first confirmed one was Larva Romance, then another one is Help Me! Labub girls!.
- From the Instagram depiction of the characters to the actual show is pretty different, but maybe its still on character development stage for them.
- Black is shown chasing Yellow and Red in the first episode; The same episode, and this is also his only appearance in that episode thought the series, however, he made it as a recall in Who Are You?.
- This alternate universe timeline, might take in the Season 3 timeline where Yellow and Red are no longer under the sewer, or the house (due to this house getting demolished) and roam freely in the factory facility like that.
- It is still unknown whether Parch's boss is an actual human, another robot, or another villains in disguise as a human.
- 2Bcom known for their projects like Ninja Hatori, Hang On, Turbo fast the series, Super Shiro, BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie, and many other animation shows.
- Unlike what the Instagram posts sounded like, Red and Yellow weren't sent to space by humans who order them to bring an alien to Earth, nor the aliens fight with each other to know who will go there, at least for now.
- Parch, who wasn't depicted as evil in the Instagram posts, is revealed in the show to be the main antagonist, well, the one who appear the most, since his possible boss hadn't been shown a lot.
- One of the aliens look oddly like a resemblance to Violet, expect he was one human eye than it compared and it’s a bit smaller.
- Even though the first time that Red and Yellow arrived on Mars, they couldn’t breath there, in the next episodes, they seem to be able to, and the reason wasn't shown or explained.
- On February 17, 2024, the new episodes are not aired, but instead, the renewed of first batches episodes: The first episode with the same name, Gravity, First Meet and Who are You?. Where they added Tteobali and Parch's voice, added the martians in Yellow and Red's flashback, and in the ending credits instead the usual "to be continued" it's replaced with only "cool" (does this means in each ending credit will throw random words on each Saturday? who knows), and turns out it stop airing Larva in Mars in SBS by February 24, 2024 as a short run, instead, airing only Larva Island (maybe until another episode batches is finished).
- One of the creators of Help Me! Larva Girls! also work in this project.
- EDA in charge marketing and promoting Larva in mars official Instagram.
- The first episode (and most episodes) that uploaded on YouTube reuploaded again at 15 March 2024, the ost background getting replaced by some season 1-3 ost. (Also heavily happened when it streamed on Netflix) It's unknown whether due to a Youtube copyright issue or a monetization.
