* CanonImmigrant: Sort of. Parts that were made for the [[ArrangeMode Ultimate League]] first eventually receive their Championships League counterparts, such as:
** The Santa's Freezing Gift -> Deep Freeze
** The Death Ray -> Death Lamp

** [[Toys/HotWheels 5 Alarm/Tiger Shark wheels]] -> Climbing Wheels

** Chainsaws have the shortest range of melee weapons, but have the highest base damage. Also, there's the Cutter Chainsaw in the Ultimate League.

* ChargedAttack: Lasers in the Championships shoot once every 2.5 second (unlike blades and rockets that deal damage once per second), and deal 2.5 times its displayed damage number (which is per second). Lasers in the Ultimates can have different fire rate and damage multiplier.[[note]]Such as the Swift Laser firing once per 1.5 seconds and deals 1.5x damage, while the Double Laser shoots once every 2 seconds and deals 2x damage.[[/note]]

* ConfusionFu: The damage number shown on each car only shows the total damage of all weapons in that car. That means you can be finished off by, for example, a car that has a weak blade and a ''powerful laser''.

* EnergyWeapon: The Eye of Death (formerly the Death Ray) in the Ultimates and Death Lamps in the Championships shoots ray ([[LightEmUp or light]]) at close range and aims at the opponent (unlike most other ranged weapons).

** Championship Parts can be upgraded by merging another part on it, filling its [[ExperiencePoints upgrade bar]]. If it's full, the part will level up, increasing its base stats.

** Ultimate parts can't be merged on another. Instead, obtaining parts you already have will fill its upgrade bar. If it's full, you must then pay some cash to upgrade it.

* GatlingGood: Miniguns (in the Championships), which fires up slowly at first but revs up to eventually [[MoreDakka firing five bullets per second]].

** MolotovCocktail (in the Championship League) leaves fire on any surface it touches, including the opponent, dealing damage over time.
* MoreDakka: Miniguns (in the Championships) and the Spike Strike (in the Ultimates) fires slowly at first, but then fires rapidly.
* NewGamePlus: Reaching the 24th stage in the Championship League allows you to "prestige", namely restarting at level one as well as resetting all your Championship parts, toolboxes, stickers, and coins.[[note]]You still get to keep your gems, [[SkillScoresAndPerks paw points]], and everything in your Ultimate Garage. Your progress in the Ultimate League in untouched.[[/note]] It increases your prestige level by one, gives you some gems, and allows you to obtain parts unavailable in the previous prestige (such as Miniguns, Whales, and Shotguns).

** Backpedals (in the Championships) are intended to, well, [[ShapedLikeItself backpedal]] your machine after going forward for a while, for ranged weaponry. Some Sneakies (in the Championships) that have two gadget slots can have two Backpedals on them, allowing you to flip around and damage your opponent from behind.

** Forklifts (one of the starting Championship League gadgets) [[note]]and their Ultimate League counterpart Dozer Forklift[[/note]] allow you to lift the opponent on the front at close range, potentially flipping them. The Lifter (in the Championships, unlocked at prestige 4) and the Lucky Horseshoe and the Firework (in the Ultimates) can do just that at range.
** The Train wheels in the Ultimates (which doesn't cost energy) replicates the ImmuneToFlinching function of the Lifestone gadget (which costs 10 energy).

** The Double Cactus weapon in the Ultimates, which is just the Dozer Double Blade (another weapon in the Ultimates) with 10 energy instead of 15 and [[LifeDrain heals you on hit]].
* PowerNullifier: The Stop Sign gadget (in the Ultimates) blocks the opponent's ranged weapons periodically.
* RainbowPimpGear: Ultimate parts tend to be released in sets (which are purely aesthetic), resulting in this for the players' machines (especially the wheels).
* RareCandy: Championship League Toolboxes can be merged into parts to increase stats by a fixed value (doesn't add experience to said parts), depending on the Toolboxes' stars and material. Averted with ones on the Ultimate League, in that [[HourOfPower their effects are temporary]].
* RingOut: Going out of bounds will instantly destroy your machine.

** Super parts in the Championships have bonuses (up to 60%) that only apply to certain type of parts.[[note]]Such as a minigun that have its damage increase by 15% when it's attached to a Classic body.[[/note]] Legendary parts give 100% bonus.

** Their Ultimate equivalents also avert this, as their bonuses always apply regardless of which set they belong (which is purely aesthetic).

* StalkedByTheBell: If a match lasts too long without a machine being destroyed, walls on both sides of the arena will collapse, revealing a bulldozer on each side with spinning blades that move to the center, [[OneHitKill one-shotting any machine that makes contact with the blade]].
* SupportPartyMember: Gadget parts don't deal any damage, but each has a gimmick, such as Repulses that knocks the opponent back upon contact and Forklifts that lifts the opponent in close range.
* ThisIsADrill: Drills (and longer but weaker Stingers) are available as melee weapons.

** [[FireBreathingWeapon The Flamethrower]] (in the Ultimate League) breathes fire that damages the opponent and [[StandardStatusEffects burns them, dealing some extra damage over time]].

** The Blazing Mace (Ultimates) is just the Ice Cream Mace with more base damage and [[StandardStatusEffects burns the opponent on hit]].
