* DIYDentistry: You're required to pull a troll's tooth after it is damaged by a stone candy. You need to find a rope to remove it with the help of a nearby doorknob, but can keep the solid diamond tooth afterwards.

* AdaptationalDumbass: Granny Weatherwax can be out-headologied by Rincewind, which is not something that would be likely to happen in the books.

* LooseCanon: Since the game stories are basically mash-ups of a couple of different books each, they're pretty obviously non-canon with the book series itself (there's no way some of the events of this game e.g Windle Poons' death and the whole Moving Picture industry, could occur separate from the books as they've already happened there at least once). However in ''Literature/TheScienceOfDiscworld II: The Globe'' (which ''is'' canon to the main books), Rincewind mentions having had a run-in with (and run-away from) elves before, which had never happened in any of his prior book appearances. Unless it was some undescribed NoodleIncident that Pterry never actually wrote about (admittedly possible given the breadth of Rincewind's adventures), this game is the only time Rincewind has ever encountered elves.

** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Rincewind commenting in the opening that the art budget is clearly much larger this time, and maybe there won't be quite so many absurd puzzles as a result.



* YouDontLookLikeYou: Windle Poons strangely looks very different in this game than in the prequel: he is much smaller, has a brownish beard, black eyes and he is much less senile, capable of holding actual conversations.

conversations. This may be a nod to ''Reaper Man'', where Windle as a magically animated corpse is stronger and clearer-minded than he was as a 103-year-old man. Or maybe it's just due to the ArtShift.

** The intro is a parody of Film/LethalWeapon3 with Rincewind and the Librarian discovering a bomb strapped to a cart in the fools guild, finishing up with Rincewind turning the wrong flask over, causing the timer to speed up and explode, destroying the place.
