* ArtEvolution: The ''[=ClueFinders=]'' series had a distinct change in art style in 1999. This is most evident when comparing the original release of this game with the re-release; the original release uses the old art style while the re-release uses the updated art style.

Added DiffLines:

* NotMeThisTime: Considering that EverybodyDidIt, wrongly accused suspects will say they're not the guilty party.

* OffModel: In the original release, the animation during the cutscenes tends to provide some... uncanny moments. In the re-release, all of the cutscene animations were redone, with generally better results.

* AlphabetSoupCans: Unsurprising given that it's an edutainment game. One of the more egregious examples involves the photographer, whose minigame has you sorting falling rocks... apparently, she has nothing better to photograph.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The 1999 version allows you to make up to two times - the first version however requires you to get it right on the first try. Additionally, the elder (or the suspect) will tell you if everything but one is right.

* AdultsAreUseless: None of the villagers, the majority of whom are adults, offer any real assistance in solving the case.

Added DiffLines:

* EverybodyDidIt: Because of the randomised "Who took what and hid it where?" aspect, technically ''everyone'' will have stolen at least ''one'' object.

* OddballInTheSeries: It's either this one or ''[[VideoGame/TheClueFinders4thGradeAdventuresThePuzzleOfThePyramid 4th Grade Adventures]]''. Unlike every other game in the series, ''Math Adventures'' takes place in only one zone and has the [=ClueFinders=] actually collecting clues to solve mysteries. Additionally, this game has a much more bare-bones plot with much lower stakes. Most tellingly, this is the only game in the series in which no one gets kidnapped at any point. It's also the only time besides ''4th Grade'' that the [=ClueFinders=] don't wear [[LimitedWardrobe their regular outfits]], even if their ''Math Adventures'' outfits are basically just winterized versions of said regular outfits.

* SelfDisposingVillain: [[spoiler:In the ending cutscene, the [=ClueFinders=] do literally nothing to defeat the villain. He just shows up and then happens to get wiped out by a convenient avalanche.]]

* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the other [=ClueFinders=] games, this one has much lower stakes (most of the other games start off with someone getting kidnapped), and the setting is much more colorful and laid-back.
