Continuity mistake: Level 12 "Grand Theft Scratchy" cutscene: When Marge tells Poochie that even he isn't "extreme enough to resist the power of a stay-at-home mom, with too much time on her hands," Poochie is wearing two bracelets, but next shot both bracelets have vanished, then continues to reappear (even within the same shot) and disappear again.

Bug: Lisa the Treehugger. Xbox 360. In the last map it can occur that the timer to rescue Carl and Lenny drops down to 20 seconds after a few unsuccessful attempts, thus breaking the game.

Other mistake: Level 5 "Mob Rules" cutscene: After Lisa gives Marge the manual and explains Marge's superpower to her, when Marge shouts, "Okay, let's stop that video game," Lisa's moving head was not properly edited by the layout artists, note that Lisa's head and neck are disconnected from her body, which is a bit creepy looking as she moves her head.

Other mistake: Level 10 "Bargain Bin" cutscene: When the spaceship flies over the house all the Simpsons walk out the front door, and in this overhead shot part of the house is missing, note the animation is incomplete behind the roof of the garage.

Continuity mistake: Level 10 "Bargain Bin" cutscene: When the alien mothership hovers over the Simpson house, the green door mat is on the step in front of the door, but when Homer freaks out the green mat has vanished, though it reappears when they start running.

Continuity mistake: Level 13 "Medal of Homer" cutscene: Right before Homer receives the keycard, when the military truck drives into the village, in this shot the "Hellfish" illustration on the door is reversed and "Hellfish" is written backwards, then it's fine in the following shots.

Continuity mistake: Level 14 "Big Super Happy Fun Fun Game" cutscene: When Milhouse hands over the keycard to Homer, he's holding it out upside-down, but in the next shot the keycard is rightside-up while he's still holding it out to Homer, but it's upside-down again when Homer takes it.

Continuity mistake: Level 15 "Five Characters in Search of an Author" cutscene: When Marge and her family walk over to Matt Groening, who's lying on the floor, we see that Marge has nothing on her back, but when Matt thanks Marge for saving him the empty baby carrier is now on Marge's back, though it vanishes again when Matt kneels in front of Lisa. As an aside, the baby carrier has two shoulder straps and a waist strap, but after Matt's escape when the carrier reappears on Marge the shoulder straps are gone, so it's pretty bizarre that Maggie could stay put in it.

Continuity mistake: Bargain Bin: When the mothership starts firing at the Simpsons, Homer drops the clipboard and pencil he was holding and it lands on the ground. Two shots after, the clipboard and pencil have disappeared. It couldn't have been out-of-frame because when it lands on the ground, it is in line with the path leading to the house, and the area surrounding the path is shown two shots after.

Continuity mistake: Enter the Cheatrix: When Bart and Lisa walk up to the Rift Portal after saving Frink, the device attached to the side of it changes design between shots.

Continuity mistake: Enter the Cheatrix: There is a machine next to Bart, Lisa and Frink when they reunite in the end cutscene. This machine has three sections to it. When the shot cuts to Bart and Lisa, all three sections of the machine are visible in the shot, but Frink cannot be seen in the shot. Then the shot cuts to Frink (with all three sections of the machine being visible in the shot), and Bart and Lisa cannot be seen even though they should be right next to it.

Continuity mistake: Enter the Cheatrix: When Bart and Lisa walk up to Professor Frink whilst he is climbing down the ladder, the machine next to them has a couple of dials on them. Around these dials are a series of small lines (presumably a way of measuring different gauges). When the shot cuts to focus on Bart and Lisa, these lines around the dials have disappeared. A small arrow attached to the dials also disappears.

Continuity mistake: Game Over: Whilst God is explaining the Planet Earth game to the Simpsons, Maggie's face has light cast on it. But later in the cutscene, after the flashback of God losing the manual, Maggie's face is suddenly shadowed.

Continuity mistake: Game Over: When Homer tells God "It's time for some answers", his hands are raised and placed against each other. When the shot cuts, his hands are at his side.

Continuity mistake: Game Over: When Benjamin Franklin is telling Lisa she's a bigger butt-kisser than Thomas Jefferson, he is holding a coffee cup with his hand at the bottom of the cup. Two shots later, his hand is suddenly further up the cup.

Casual Person

Audio problem: Game Over: After Marge says all that's left to do is hope God saves us, Lisa says "That's it, mom." When she finishes the line, her teeth clench together, but there are no words or letters in the line that would have made her teeth clench together in the way that was shown. Clearly the wrong mouth movement was used in the animation.

Casual Person

Revealing mistake: Game Over: When the characters are all running toward the door to Springfield, an anthropomorphic dog from Grand Theft Scratchy can be seen running over a piece of rubble on the ground. His posture or balance are not affected in any way, almost as if it was drawn so his foot wasn't supposed to interact with anything on the ground.

Revealing mistake: Bargain Bin: When Bart is looking up the Simpsons Game on the internet, in the wide shot of the living room, there is a plug socket shown on the wall to the left of shot. This plug socket has no holes to insert the plug into or a switch.

Continuity mistake: Bartman Begins: When Homer asks Bart "what's with the broody get up", there are three buildings shown in the background to the right of shot. A couple seconds later, when Homer and Bart open up the manhole cover, there is now only one large building.

Revealing mistake: Bartman Begins: When Bart is telling Homer about his new powers, there are a couple of buildings to the left of shot that are drawn incorrectly. The doors to these buildings are drawn almost exactly the same as the windows, where there are no door frames or handles shown on them.

More quotes from The Simpsons Game

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).
