1* FirstInstallmentWins: The original ''[=BurgerTime=]'' is the most fondly remembered and most popular installment in the series by far.
2* FridgeBrilliance: Just what does a fried egg have to do with hamburgers? ''[=BurgerTime=]'' was designed in Japan, and over in the Land of the Rising Sun, many fast food joints offer a fried egg as a topping for your hamburger.
3* MemeticMutation: The ''[=BurgerTime=]'' television commercial featured giant food chasing Peter Pepper around a fast food kitchen. A young couple at the drive-thru window peeks in only to have the window abruptly shut by a giant hot dog.
4-->'''Mr. Hot Dog:''' We are closed ''now''!
5** According to anecdotes by former Platform/{{Intellivision}} employees, this line circulated as an inside joke around the office in [[MediaNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 1983]] when they heard that they were being laid off and Mattel was discontinuing the console.
6* NintendoHard: The original duo of arcade games accelerated in difficulty pretty quickly, with ''Ice Cream Factory'' requiring immense skill, mastery of its confusing control scheme, and reflexes just to pass the first level.
7* ThatOneLevel:
8** The fourth level has four ''humongous'' burgers, and the ladders are designed in such a way that they are more like staircases. Better get used to the stiff controls fast, or this level will eat you up.
9** The fifth level is even worse unless you have lots of pepper to spare. This level has only two burgers, but there is a severe lack of ladders, making it very easy to become trapped. The only other way to get the enemies off your tail besides squishing them or using pepper is to lure them to the bottom right where you spawn, but if you do this incorrectly you could potentially ''trap yourself.''
