** ThatOneBoss: The final battle against [[spoiler:Gouji/A.Ku.Mu]]; if the incredibly distracting, seizure-inducing location wasn't hard enough to cope with, it requires navigating a rather difficult and complicated vertical course to the very top just to reach the battle itself. ''Hit over the edge by the boss? Accidentally fall due to the low space and lack of safety barriers? Use up the few graffiti cans you have and finding they aren't respawning nearby?'' '''''[[FakeLongevity I hope you like falling back to the very bottom of the very difficult obstacle course to recollect cans and do it all again to continue battling.]]'''''

* NightmareFuel: "Grace & Glory" is a pretty creepy song.

* RescuedFromtheScrappyHeap: Yoyo was retooled from a short, chubby, annoying kid who challenged you to a painful race in ''JSR'' into a much more likable and attractive character in ''JSRF''.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Initially, a huge chunk of the soundtrack couldn't be licensed again for the UpdatedRerelease, which caused a lot of this. Fortunately, it has been reduced to two songs, with Sega trying to get the rights to those.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Many were probably confused by the Teen rating on the game, even through the first few playthroughs...until they listened closely to the lyrics of most of the songs. [[spoiler: One of said songs gives you tips on how to give a good blowjob. Another has you hearing the whispered moans of a loving couple, busy in the sack. You also hear LOTS of references to polyamory.]] Yeah, seriously. Go listen, it's CRAZY.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: The first game is getting an UpdatedRerelease for 360, PS3 and PC. This was inevitable.
** [[http://blogs.sega.com/2012/06/01/jet-set-radio-final-tracklist-announced/ It will have most of the music from the original,]] including [[PalBonus the bonus songs previously exclusive to each region]] and shall be released as a "complete" soundtrack.

** This troper had a lot of trouble with Bantam Street in the original game to start with, especially with a hard-to-reach tag that always ended up the last one to be done with barely any time on the clock.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Cube is apparently popular with western gamers, for [[WomanInBlack obvious reasons]].

* ScrappyLevel: In ''JSRF'', the Tokyo Undergound Sewage Facility. Interestingly, due to the way the soundtrack is structured in-game, the Sewage Facility is the first level where [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygdd3vOZN_c The Scrappy]] plays.

** No "love" for the Skyscraper Distract & Pharaoh Park? Dark color pallete, ''tons'' of life-sapping NonLethalBottomlessPits, and very specific series of rails to grind and jumps to make combine into one hellish experience, especially when traveling into the very far reaches.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Arguably, the ''entire soundtrack'' to ''both'' games.
** Sweet Soul Brother to name one, especially the BB Rights remix.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30g-Ma0oXp8&hd=1 Sneakman]] is this troper's favorite
