Continuity mistake: There are some minor inconsistencies between the original game and this prequel regarding Chloe's time at Blackwell Academy. In the original game, Chloe's dialog during episode three suggests she's never been in principal Wells' office, but in this prequel, Chloe is seen visiting the office. Additionally, this game, which is set in 2010, shows Chloe being expelled. But documentation in the original game indicated she was expelled in 2011.

Continuity mistake: In the mission of Sector X, you fight the boss Spyborg. For slower players, Spyborg will usually smack Slippy with its hand and send the toad's crippled Arwing hurtling towards the planet Titania. Faster players can destroy Spyborg before it can attack the cocky Slippy. If this is done, you go to Macbeth instead of Titania. However, if you chose to go to Titania anyways, the mission plays out with Slippy crashed and captured by the mission's boss. Yet he didn't get hit and crash in the previous mission.
