Other mistake: Bartman Begins: Homer and Bart are in a dinosaur exhibit, trying to get Bart to fly off the dinosaur skeleton to the other side, whilst also fighting off some guards, and the exhibit continues through the next room where they are stopping Dolph. In these parts of the level, night time is visible outside of the windows - it is supposed to be day time during this level.

Revealing mistake: The Land of Chocolate: When Homer wakes up from his dream, their is a wrapper on his shirt from one of the Hershel's Smoochies chocolates. The wrapper looks nowhere near convincing and is just a poorly animated squiggle - the wrapper on his shirt is supposed to be scrunched up, but it is drawn as a 2D shape and is animated onto his shirt.

In a sudden close-up of the card, it is now four fingers pushed against the back of the card.

If you change the camera angle to an aerial shot and walk up the staircase, a chandelier will appear. If you do nothing the chandelier will just vanish from shot, despite not having moved.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Five Characters In Search Of An Author: When the Simpsons enter the gate to go to Matt Groening's mansion, the mansion is shown to be almost a few miles behind the gate. Later as the intro clip starts and Homer and Bart have reached the mansion, the key card gate is only a few yards in the background. Then as the level starts, there is now a gate to the mansion in the background and the gate that requires key cards is now way behind the gate to the mansion.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Five Characters In Search Of An Author: Whenever you approach the golden gate in the Game Engine game play, the four slots to place the key card in are the same colour. When the Simpsons and poorly rendered Simpsons approach the gate at the start of the level, the four key card slots all match each colour of the key card and not the gate itself.

Character mistake: Big Super Happy Fun Fun Game: During the battle between Homer and Lisa and Sherri and Terri (who are both female), just as Lisa unleashes Linguo, Lisa says "Linguo, fix his grammar for good." In this context, it should be "her" or "their."

Plot hole: Whilst you are in the Game Engine, Homer may say at one point, "Turtle bride, why didn't I think about that?" This is a clear reference to Professor Frink's turtle bride we met earlier in Enter The Cheatrix. The main problem with this quote is that Homer didn't even know about Professor Frink's turtle bride. It was only Bart and Lisa who even knew about the turtle bride as they rescued Frink and only them who rescued Frink in Enter The Cheatrix and met the turtle bride soon after. And although, Frink was in that large box in the theatre, the only thing he ever did was to give Homer and Lisa a power upgrade. Plus, the turtle bride was never visible in the theatre and Bart and Lisa never mentioned this to him.

Homer Simpson: Hey, you're like that rabbit thing from that book about a girl named Alice who goes to Wonderland. What was it called? Oh, yeah. Snow White in Stupidtown.

Trivia: This game offers 16 levels with different 2-character groupings. There are seven levels with Homer and Bart (eight if you count Game Over for the Wii and PSP versions), three with Bart and Lisa, two with Marge and Lisa, one with Homer and Lisa and one with Homer and Marge. However, there are no levels in the game that feature a 2-character grouping between Marge and Bart. The closest the game ever gets to this is the 4-character grouping Game Over (but only for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions).
