Continuity mistake: Bargain Bin: In the final part of this level where you have to save the 8-bit Simpsons from being thrown into the furnace, if there are only a few seconds left on the clock, the 8-bit Simpsons will appear next to the furnace. 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.

Despicable Me 2 (2013)
Plot hole: The rocket is launched with Gru and Lucy attached to it. All of the minions are around them at El Macho's lair at this point. Considering a rocket travels at several hundred miles per hour, when they jump off it almost a minute later they should be several miles away at the very least, but three Minions appear on a boat shortly after. There is no way the three Minions could have reached Gru and Lucy all the way from the lair in that short time. (01:22:05 - 01:23:25)
Suggested correction: Actually, earlier on in the scene, Gru enters El Macho's lair with only two of his remaining minions, despite there being much more that didn't go for the Ice Cream Truck. Therefore, the 3 minions could have been in Gru's basement the whole time. The real problem is, how would they know to go to the volcano?

Audio problem: As Gru attempts the dance floor key, some of the guacamole from his nacho hat falls out of the hat and lands on one of the keys which then triggers one of the sound effects.
