** Graphically, though it uses a good deal of the techniques that sent ''Breakin' Da Rules''' character models straight into the UncannyValley, Shadow Showdown avoids a good deal of its predecessor's problems by adding a wider variety of faces to its texture collection so the faces of the characters actually match their dialogue instead of [[DissonantSerenity smiling while expressing terror or worry.]]

* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: One part of "Fairly Disastrous" requires you to lead the Dairy Fairy cows back to their sheds so's to supply more power to the rainbow bridge that will lead to [[BossBattle Quince]]. If you time it ''juuuust'' right, when you lead a cow onto a cow elevator and press the button at a certain time, you can make it fall into the abyss below (or a body of water, depending on which cow you do this with). That cow is then gone forever, rendering the level impossible to complete, and the only way to get it back is to restart from the last save point.

* MagnificentBastard: [[CastingAShadow The Chamberlain's Shadow]] is the [[TheDogWasTheMastermind true mastermind behind the game's events]], scheming to switch the places of humans and shadows and TakeOverTheWorld. Taking advantage of Oberon and Titania's ego to recruit them, he has the two steal the Royal Jewel and use it to sap the powers of every fairy in Fairy World. He then pins the blame on the Jester, having the two accuse him of the crime. Staying undetected for the majority of the game, he takes precautions to slow down Timmy Turner, with tricks ranging from having the King and Queen fight them to fooling a monkey king into kidnaping his mom. By the game's climax, he's betrayed his minions and has taken over their plot, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech ripping into them for their egos]] before facing the heroes himself. [[NearVillainVictory Only being thwarted at the last second]], the Shadow proves to be one of Timmy's most cunning adversaries.

* EvenBetterSequel: While ''[[VideoGame/TheFairlyOddparentsBreakinDaRules Breakin' Da Rules]]'' was good, this game improved on its formula considerably. The levels are bigger, you can cycle through wishes, you don't have to collect as much wish stars, the environments are more interesting... the list goes on.
