Other mistake: Big Super Happy Fun Fun Game: At the start of this level, Mr. Dirt (i.e. Milhouse) emerges from the ocean, but Mr. Dirt is approximately 30 feet tall and the water is far too shallow for him to have been hiding his entire body inside the water. The water only goes up to his knee area whilst he is standing in the ocean.

Revealing mistake: Bartman Begins: When Bart goes into the store for a copy of Grand Theft Scratchy, there are four copies of the game shown on the counter beside the Squeaky Voiced Teen, but the front cover for the game on the bottom left is drawn out differently than the other three.

When Homer and Bart climb into the sewer, the name has suddenly reappeared on the sign.

Continuity mistake: Bartman Begins: After Principal Skinner reveals his plans to Bart, Homer tells him "I've never heard of such an evil plan. You're like if the iron sheik had baby with Rowdy Roddy Piper times a billion." Whilst Homer is saying the line, he has Kearney and Dolph in a headlock and Kearney and Dolph are looking at each other, but in the next shot, Kearney and Dolph are suddenly looking at Principal Skinner.

Plot hole: Bartman Begins: When Jimbo reveals to Bart that Skinner hired them to rob the museum, Bart says "Principal Skinner?" and looks to his right and sees Principal Skinner standing there. The problem in this scenario is that there is nothing there to make Bart look towards the right. Skinner was never heard approaching nor did he ever state he was there before Bart looked and no-one else in the scene even told Bart that Skinner was approaching.
