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.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Big Super Happy Fun Fun Game: The first part of the level consists of Homer and Lisa defeating the Dirt Sumos. But as soon as the cut scene starts, all of the sumos have vanished. Even the ones that weren't defeated.

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: 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.

A light blue building called Hailstone's has appeared which was a dark blue building when shown earlier, and the shrubbery is completely different.
