Whatever It Takes - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When the opening of the Astral Plane is first shown emerging from Mt. Kilimanjaro's Kibo summit, the summit is correctly depicted as being somewhat flat. Near the end when the opening of the Astral Plane is diminishing, the mountain summit is shown to have a pyramidal peak. (00:02:35 - 00:16:50)

Whatever It Takes - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: The boomerang that Xavier uses to throw at the jungle warrior astride the pterodactyl appears from nowhere. While it probably belonged to the warrior himself, neither he nor the other warrior with him were shown to have dropped it when they swooped by and captured Magneto and knocked Xavier down. (00:20:15)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Gambit places Bella Donna's ring on the ground, she is nowhere around it. When the shot changes, the ring is suddenly right next to her. Note: this mistake may only apply to the DVD version of the episode, as the version of the episode on Disney+ does have Bella Donna there when Gambit sets the ring down. (00:18:50)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When the Thieves and Assassins guilds begin to skirmish, they start by trying to regain the weapons that Jean Grey telekinetically confiscated from them. A couple seconds into the fight and most of the weapons have disappeared altogether. (00:15:20)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is looking at himself in the mirror while wearing a tuxedo, you can see in his reflection that he is barehanded. In the next shot when he removes the tuxedo, he is wearing his usual black gloves. Also, the rose on the tuxedo goes from being on his right side (reflection's left) to being on his left side just before he removes the tuxedo. (00:13:15)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: In the first establishing shot of the Assassins Guild's mansion, there is a stairway leading up to the front door. In the establishing shot of the mansion in the scene where Gambit is in Bella Donna's bedroom, the stairway is missing, and consequently the mansion's porch area isn't as high off the ground. (00:09:20 - 00:13:20)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: After Bobby is set free, Gambit, Bella Donna and her henchman remain in Bobby's cell. When Bella Donna begins torturing Gambit, the two of them are suddenly alone in the cell. (00:11:20)

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know why Gambit was featured less and less in episodes as the show went on? He was one of the most popular characters in not just X-Men, but all of Marvel Comics around the time this series first aired, so unless it had something to do with his voice actor's contract, it seems odd they wouldn't have utilized him more.

Phaneron

Answer: Chris Potter, the original Gambit voice actor, did indeed quit the role in the 4th season. His last episode was The Phalanx Covenant Part 1 so it seems reasonable that Fox would limit the use of the character even though it was recast. It doesn't appear that Potter left the role due to animosity, he stated in an interview that he wished to play Gambit in the first live action X-Men film.
