* FakeDifficulty: The game will be more likely to spawn unavoidable sets of obstacles the longer you're able to last. While driving the S.A.M. mech, there is also at least one missile pattern that is deliberately impossible to completely block just so the powerup can't last forever.

I was wrong about Mr. Cuddles being able to smash the scientists.
* MisguidedMissile: It's possible to trick missiles into hitting the device that chases you in the Turbo Tidal Chase event. This will actually slow it down and buy you some much-needed distance.

* {{Antepiece}}: Whenever the player ends up in control of S.A.M., the first few missiles launched at them follow a predictable pattern — one at the very bottom, one at the very top, and then five staggered from top to bottom — to get the player used to the idea that [[UnexpectedGameplayChange S.A.M.'s gameplay]] is based around intercepting missiles with its controllable arm rather than trying to avoid them.

This is shown best with Crazy Freaking Teleporter, which teleports you to a position of an arrow that uncontrollably moves up and down, was the result of the developers trying to see how dumb the vehicles can be, while the description states that despite the ability to teleport being seen as a breakthrough, "its range made it quite worthless".

* DifficultButAwesome: A few of the vehicles veer into this territory, but the standout example is the Crazy Freaking Teleporter, which can teleport right past zappers and missiles that it's about to plow into (without even changing altitude) with good timing, even when the layout of hazards would be [[YouAreAlreadyDead unavoidable]] for anything else. However, the player has minimal control over where they're teleporting to, and teleporting is the only way to change altitude, which makes it easy to miss out on coins, spin tokens, and event tokens, and can cause the player to teleport right into another hazard if they're unlucky.
