Continuity mistake: Bargain Bin: When the 8-bit Simpsons are headed for the furnace, they are almost half way down the line to the furnace. When the level starts, the 8-bit Simpsons are suddenly next to the platform Homer and Bart stand on, hardly anywhere near where they were a moment ago.

If you then pull a lever, a huge curtain will close the furnace. As the curtain is placed, the 8-bit Simpsons will have vanished from in front of the furnace, even if the lever is pulled only a few seconds before the clock finishes counting down.

Other mistake: Bargain Bin: Whenever Homer and Bart fall off the platform, they would usually die from the fall. As they hit the ground, they go through some random object on the floor. If there is no object on the floor, then they just land on the ground, but still continue to act as if they are falling.

Plot hole: Bargain Bin: After Homer and Bart save the 8-bit Simpsons from being burned in the furnace, Homer and Bart run into an elevator while the 8-bit Simpsons remain inside the "Escape from Krusty Island" game. When the elevator opens, the Simpsons walk into a theatre and discover the 8-bit Simpsons are there waiting for them. How did they get there so quickly? There certainly would be no time for them to escape the game and get to the theatre before the Simpsons did as the Simpsons had a huge head start on them.

Other mistake: Shadow of the Colossal Donut: Homer and Bart's main and only objective in this level is to open each of the three hatches inside Lard Lad and rip out the circuits inside him. To open the hatch, Bart will need to launch a slingshot at Lard Lad's hatches. After the hatch is opened, and the circuits have been ripped out, the hatch will always vanish completely.

Bug: Day of the Dolphin: In the underground aquarium scene where you have to defeat Snorky, switch to Lisa and use her Hand Of Buddha power to move the jellyfish and place them on the hexagon-shaped grey platforms on the left corner on the screen. If you place one of the jellyfish on the platform and drop the other one, the jellyfish you dropped cannot be picked up a second time. It will just be stuck on the ground.

Continuity mistake: Day of the Dolphin: During the intro cutscene, Captain McAllister is untied from the ropes. Part of the rope he holds in his hand, then eventually he drops the rope. As soon as the level starts, the rope he dropped is no longer visible.

Continuity mistake: Enter The Cheatrix: During the final boss battle between Bart, Lisa and the Ape, you have to strike the ape with Lisa's hand lightning and battle Kung fu fighters entering through elevators. If you completely ignore these fighters and just go straight to taking the ape down, the ape will die after 3 lightning strikes and fall into the game waste stuff. The conclusion clip starts to play where Professor Frink gives the manual to Bart and Lisa, and yet the Kung Fu fighters don't seem to be there anymore, even if you didn't bother to take them down.

Casual Person

Plot hole: Enter The Cheatrix: The level shows Bart and Lisa chase the ape holding Professor Frink. Each part of the level consists of Bart and Lisa running through each place the ape went through. If that is so, while it has been shown to jump a few meters, it doesn't make sense how the ape was able to jump over two huge buckets of blood that was almost five times as more as a jump than it can usually handle. Even if the ape swam through the blood, there should still be blood on it or Professor Frink's clothes.
