* ValuesDissonance: In TheEighties, having a video game with a [[ByTheBookCop police officer]] as the main character was considered a benign and rather fresh concept. In TheNewTwenties, a game with a police officer being the protagonist would have a hard time catching on, especially in {{America|ns Hate Tingle}}, with concerns over PoliceBrutality being on the rise.

* NintendoHard: One of Namco's more challenging arcade games, for a variety of reasons. Among them is that Mappy has no direct way of attacking save for opening certain doors, the trampolines vanish if you use them too much (leaving a bottomless pit in their wake which, if you're unlucky enough to use all the ones on the bottom, will make a level impossible to complete) and the cats can easily corner you if you aren't being careful.

* BrokenBase: When the episode first dropped, the finale was rather contentious to some. Some fans believe it to be a perfect send-off to have Goro and Mappy accept the fact that they're eternal rivals, whereas others find the ending to be [[AngstAversion too depressing]] because of Mappy being vilified for getting Nyamco shut down despite [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished doing the right thing]] in getting Goro arrested, as well as [[spoiler:ending with Mappy and Dig Dug getting arrested due to Mappy attempting to correct his "mistake"]]. As a result, some fans prefer to consider Episode 12 to be [[FanonDiscontinuity the real finale]]. This has generally become less common of an opinion among modern viewers (see CultClassic below), with more people finding it [[VindicatedByHistory particularly funny and joking about Mappy destroying Capitalism instead]].
