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.

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.

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.

Continuity mistake: Grand Theft Scratchy: Marge, Lisa and the mob need to destroy two vans, then rebuild two ice-cream trucks and rebuild a sweet store. Behind all of this is a barrier. As soon as the cut scene starts, Marge and Lisa (without the mob) are standing next to the sweet store walking by and notice Poochie and the barriers aren't there anymore. Then as the cut scene ends and it cuts back to gameplay, the mob has reappeared next to Marge and Lisa and the barriers behind the trucks are back. Although the barriers were never visible during the cut scene, the game play part of the level shown barriers completely covering anything behind the two trucks, so Marge and Lisa still wouldn't have been able to see Poochie.
