Revealing mistake: NeverQuest: Just after taking down The Dragon for the first time in the level in the village, a cut scene begins where Homer and Marge start to kiss. The animation on Homer's mouth is seriously messed up as he and Marge kiss. You can see some of his lip is in the corner of his stubble, which isn't normal.

Character mistake: Game Over: After returning from the Game Engine and Bart points out they are still under attack, Marge says "I guess all that's left to do is pray that God saves us." When she says this, Lisa can be seen smiling, but the town is still under alien invasion so there should be no reason to do so. She doesn't come up with the idea to use her Buddha Hand powers to talk to God until right after Marge says the line, so it couldn't have had anything to do with that.

Other mistake: Lisa the Tree Hugger: When the logger finishes telling Bart and Lisa about how his daddy was a logger and his daddy before that, Bart is shown looking straight forward to his left to face the two loggers, before pretending to go to sleep. It then cuts to a wide shot of the four of them, and the two loggers can be seen ahead of Bart to his right. At this angle, he wouldn't have been able to be face-to-face with them if he was facing to the left.

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).
