* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://youtu.be/_OoRKLc7HMU Pilot X's theme]] that plays in the second half of his [[FinalBoss boss fight]]. It doubles as both a BraggingThemeTune and TheVillainSucksSong for Pilot X, from the singer boasting Pilot X's accomplishments while Pilot X himself shows signs of a VillainousBreakdown with excuses.

** The
[[https://youtu.be/UC_cRPEtxaM Torpedo Run theme]] is a surprisingly catchy theme for the naval battle challenge.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: It's probably safe to say that among the Freaky Flyers, [[BigBad Pilot X]] is the one who steals the show.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Despite Andre's attempts at connecting with Johnny, his long lost twin brother, always resulting in him being dismissed, the moment Andre gets the movie career and contract Johnny barely missed out on by chasing after Traci Torpedoes, he immediately says that if Johnny's not on board and they're not a duo, he'll not sign anything, forcing the director and agents to sign them both on.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The game as a whole is really funny, but by far the funniest character in the game is [[LargeHam Pilot X]]. Especially his running gag of [[DramaticUnmask taking off a different bizarre disguise]] before each flyer fights him. His disguises are:
** A teapot
** [[DisguisedInDrag Traci Torpedoes]]
** Johnny Turbine
** Sammy’s robot, resulting in an AccidentalKiss
** A shark
** A chihuahua
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext A half-eaten barbecued chipmunk]]
** Baron Von Slaughter... As in he hides inside of him and then pops out
** The hump of Shiek Abdul’s camel
** A squirrel
** Paulie Atchi’s mom
** A cake
** [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Himself]], resulting in Gutentag giving a confused AsideGlance.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: While some cutscenes come across as random, a very notable instance is in Paulie's adventure mode. In it, Paulie has a dream of performing opera only to get crushed by a pig, sending him into a CatapultNightmare. This has nothing to do with his storyline and isn't brought up again.

Added DiffLines:

* SignatureScene: Pilot X’s cutscene in Johnny Turbine’s adventure mode where he poses as Traci and reveals himself, mainly due to functioning as Pilot X’s EstablishingCharacterMoment (as, while you can select anyone, Johnny is the default character) and Johnny’s [[SkewedPriorities nonchalant reaction to the ordeal.]]

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Pilot X's reaction to Paulie telling him [[YouCanKeepHer he can keep his mother as he holds her hostage]]. Was Pilot X disappointed that it wasn't enough for Paulie to accept his challenge to a battle in outer space, or was he [[EvenEvilHasStandards caught off-guard by Paulie's apathy towards her mother's situation]]. While he forces Paulie to fight him anyway, his [[BigWhat initial reaction]] still leaves room for interpretation.

Looking back, he might not be minor enough


* EnsembleDarkhorse: Pilot X. Despite being reserved for the cutscene before his FinalBoss with some exceptions, he is considered to be the funniest character in the game due to his LargeHam tendencies and his RunningGag concerning his disguises. Some lament the fact that he lacks a adventure mode of his own.

Surprised that nowhere on this site bring up the fact that some of the Flyers have a severe case of Unfortunate Implications

Added DiffLines:

* BrokenBase: The use of stereotypes. Some argue that since the game [[EqualOpportunityOffender goes after all of the nationalities featured, including the Americans]], it's part of the humor. Others argue that even with that, the fact that some characters like Sammy Wasabi and Sheik Abdul look like caricatures and end up borderline racist, especially with the case of the Banditos.

* JerkassWoobie: Traci Torpedoes is an abrasive jingoist, but the revelation that she was created solely to serve the German airforce is sad in its way. Not to mention the constant harassment from sexist creeps and the other revelation that her sisters have been relegated to jobs in the sex industry.

Added DiffLines:

* ThatOneAchievement: Getting all missions done in a level in one run whilst still getting first place. On some stages this isn't too bad, but on others it requires nearly inhuman timing and meticulous planning. Whats worse is that if you want to complete the game with 100% completion, you HAVE to do this with every stage!
* ThatOneLevel: Intestinal Track. You have to escape a body whilst grabbing oxygen bubbles, going down various dimly lit vessels with tight turns, and white blood cells that deal great damage. The level involves a lot of trial and error and overall a pain to get through, especially with the aforementioned white blood cells who are not only placed in areas where they are already hard to dodge but will quickly home in on you. The only real saving graces of the stage is its music and being one of the [[SceneryPorn coolest looking stages in the game]].
