* {{FMV}}: All the game's pre-rendered cutscenes use somewhat crude-looking CG animation.

** The game introduces the 700 series of Jumba's experiments, inexplicably skipping over most of the 600 series. The franchise would later establish that Stitch was Jumba's last experiment before his arrest, and his only later experiments would be 627, 628 and [[WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch Leroy]].

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: 626 is not only known as an experiment but also a mutant (not "[[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch mutant koala]]" or "[[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries mutant dog]]", just the lone descriptor "mutant").

* JungleJapes: The first level.

* CanonForeigner: Habbitrale and 621, although the former has a successor in the form of Dr. Hämsterviel and technically the latter can still be made official if Disney were to reintroduce him (and he actually was ''this close'' to confirmed as still official; see the Trivia page for more). Both also count as [[OneShotCharacter One-Shot Characters]].

* MadScientist: Both Jumba and Dr. Habbitrale qualify, the former through his creation of his [[Characters/LiloAndStitchExperiments genetic experiments]], while the latter mutates already-existing creatures.

* CanonForeigner: Habbitrale and 621, although the former has a successor in the form of Dr. Hämsterviel and technically the latter can still be made official if Disney were to reintroduce him. Both also count as [[OneShotCharacter One-Shot Characters]].

* {{FMV}}: All of the cutscenes are this, using somewhat crude-looking CG animation.

* MadScientist: Both Jumba and Dr. Habbitrale qualify.

%%* NintendoHard: Doesn't help that the game has an unreliable camera. (Needs more context.)

%%* ObviousBeta: Certain features aren't as polished. (Needs more context.)

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: All of them, with the exception of 626. It ''is'' a Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' video game, after all.

* RecycledSoundtrack: The game uses a bit of Creator/AlanSilvestri's score from the film during the cutscenes.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: All of them, with the exception of 626.
* BigBad: Captain Gantu.
* BigBadWannabe: Both Dr. Habbitrale and 621 qualify because they want to be bigger threats than Gantu is.

* CanonDiscontinuity: The game was rendered non-canon [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch2StitchHasAGlitch three years after its release]].
* CanonForeigner: Habbitrale and 621, although the former has a successor in the form of Dr. Hämsterviel. Both also count as [[OneShotCharacter One-Shot Characters]].

* CombatCommentator: Jumba and 621.

* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler:Habbitrale was thrown out the airlock.]]

* NintendoHard: Doesn't help that the game has an unreliable camera.

* ObviousBeta: Certain features aren't as polished.

* StarterVillain: Dr. Habbitrale.

Despite this game's ambitions, it received a mixed reaction from critics, who had issues with the gameplay, camera, and graphics. The game would be {{retcon}}ned out of the ''Lilo & Stitch'' canon over the years, with Dr. Hämsterviel becoming the franchise's main villain over Habbitrale and ''Disney/LiloAndStitch2StitchHasAGlitch'' fully establishing what actually happened before the original film. 621 would never make another appearance in the franchise, although he would be named "Chopsuey" by the events of ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch''.

* CanonDiscontinuity: The game was rendered non-canon [[Disney/LiloAndStitch2StitchHasAGlitch three years after its release]].

* BloodlessCarnage: 626 destroys everything he touches including United Galactic Federation soldiers with no blood.

* CanonDiscontinuity: The game was rendered non-canon three years after its release.
* CanonForeigner: Habbitrale and 621. Both also count as [[OneShotCharacter One-Shot Characters]].
* CheckPoint: There is a checkpoint system via stepping on a blue button.

* UnlockableContent: Clips and promos for the original film can be unlocked thanks to collecting film reels.
