Voyageur difficulty has mutated fish, whist Expert has what appear to be reef sharks. They aslo veer into InvincibleMinorMinion territory, in that while you are unable to harm any of the game's sea creatures, your ink pellets will barely stun the sharks, and have zero effect on the mutated fish.

* NoOSHACompliance: The Shady Glen Technology Center in ''Gizmos and Gadgets''. There are six floors in the warehouses, and no stairs or elevators to be found anywhere. Want to go upstairs? You'll need to use a springboard, trampoline, or a powerful vent to fly through the holes in the ceilings. Want to go down? Just fall through any of these aforementioned holes.
Added DiffLines:
* UnitsNotToScale: The aircraft in ''Gizmos and Gadgets'' are large vehicles. However, in order to fit in line with the smaller racecars, the aircraft appear to be ''much'' smaller than they should be in both the workshop and when parked in front of the Technology Center. They are scaled more correctly during the races, though.

* GameBreakingBug: In later levels of ''Gizmos & Gadgets!'' (at least, the original DOS release). In the "place the magnets" puzzle type, magnets exert attraction and repulsion on each other; if you place two magnets close enough, one or both will move in accordance with the effect exerted on it by the other. While any magnets are moving, the whole interface is locked out, including the magnets themselves (placed, moving, and unused), the "Go Back" button, and the system menus (File, Options, Help). If you accidentally place a magnet directly between two other magnets that are exerting opposing forces (which is easier than it sounds!), it judders back and forth a bit. The game logic for magnets contains a break statement which will usually stop the affected magnet juddering after a couple of seconds, allowing you to pick it up and fix your mistake. However, under some conditions — seemingly if the magnet isn't juddering fast enough — the break won't trigger, so the magnet just keeps juddering, forcing you to hard quit the game without saving.

In the "name the form of energy" challenge type, the answer image representing "hydroelectric dam" is obviously a depiction ofthe Hoover Dam (viewed from above and due south). Arch-gravity dams, the class the Hoover Dam falls into, aren't the world's most common type (i.e., most people who've seen a hydroelectric dam up close probably haven't seen one that looked like that). However, the Hoover Dam itself is sufficiently well-known in pop culture that expecting people to recognise it was probably fair enough.

* VariableMix: In at least ''Gizmos & Gadgets!!'. Each of the three buildings has different basic BGM. It changes slightly depending on whether you're in the large main rooms or the smaller backrooms; the BGM in the backrooms is less complex. It also changes slightly as you move between rooms. With each new level of a building, new harmonies and countermelodies are unlocked, increasing the maximum amount of complexity a specific building's BGM can have.
