Deliberate mistake: Game Over: When the large crowd of people are looking at the complete stairway to heaven, they are standing a large distance away from it. Then suddenly, the crowd is right in front of it. The crowd and the stairway are not shown in the same shot, but Lisa (who is standing in front of it) looks to the crowd and says "Come on everyone" and they proceed to run up along with her, so they are closer.

Continuity mistake: Game Over: When Marge says all they can do is pray that God saves us, Lisa (who is standing in front of Marge, but turned away), turns her body around 90°, and then turns her head to the right 90° so she is looking at Marge. When the shot cuts to Lisa, she is facing Marge directly.

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: Game Over: Once everyone returns from the Game Engine, Homer sits down on the couch. The house then rumbles, prompting Bart to walk over to the window and say "Homer, we're still under attack." When Bart says this, he looks over to the left side of the living room. But the window is in the centre of the room and the couch directly faces the window, so there is no way Bart could've been looking at the couch to say the line to Homer.

Continuity mistake: Bartman Begins: When the Simpsons Game manual lands in front of Bart, in the wide shot, his right foot is pointed to the right and his left foot is pointed to the left. When it cuts to a shot focusing on the manual, Bart's feet are pointed directly forwards.

Revealing mistake: Bartman Begins: When Bart is walking through the alleyway, complaining he only has the games he bought yesterday, he steps on top of a discarded wrapper, but wrapper is unaffected by getting stepped on by Bart's foot. It remains in the same position and is never shown bending.

Casual Person

Revealing mistake: Mob Rules: When Lisa is asking Marge if she finds it hypocritical that she is opposed violence in games, yet she used violence to get her way, the body movements used for the mob appear to be repeated and reused throughout the shot. Every time they are shown waving their arms, they appear to move in the exact same way.

Revealing mistake: Mob Rules: After Lisa sets the statue on fire, the scene cuts to inside Mayor Quimby's office where he and the game producer are shown sitting in a hot tub with steam coming from it. For the first frame of the shot, the steam coming from the tub doesn't appear to have been animated. The steam literally pops up on screen a few frames after the shot starts.

In the opening shot, they are standing outside the door. Then two shots later, they have disappeared. Then they reappear two shots after that. A couple seconds later, after Martin drives away in Ned's car, they have changed position and are now seen standing on the curb.

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).
