Badass Driver: He gives off these vibes in the beginning, but subverted in the end when he's shown to be absolutely helpless when it comes to getting his vehicle to traverse through the seas.
Never Mess with Granny: Grammy may appear to be your standard sweet old lady, but she's actually an incredibly deadly racer who makes it quite far in the race. Not even death stopped her from returning (as a ghost) to sabotage Tom.
Dark Is Not Evil: Despite having a scary/sinister theme in his and his car's design, and his magic, Gorthan is one of the nicer contestants.
What Happened to the Mouse?: The last he was seen was getting his tongue stuck on a pole and then said pole breaking away from the glacier it was apart of, floating away.
Minnesota Nice. She speaks with a marked accent, and she's very good-natured, even when dealing with the incompetence of her in-car navi system.
Uncertain Doom: The last time we see "Soccer Mom" is when she escapes her car right before it sinks into quicksand. She sets off with her backpack into the jungle and a load of creepy looking bug silhouettes ominously cloud the camera. To twist the knife even further, the epilogue states that she hasn't ever been found despite intense searching efforts.
Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: At the start of the race, Soccer Mom names all of her kids during a brief interview with the hosts. Amongst those name named is "Angus" who is a girl.
Doctor Professor

We Hardly Knew Ye: Dr. Professor gets blown up by his own antimatter engine before the race begins.
