* OneDimensionalThinking: The first chase stage visibly has a good amount of sidewalk space on either side of you that Pepsi Man could have simply moved to, yet he can't. Justified for the rest of the chase stages, since there's little to no room on the sides.

* ProductPlacement: Of course, but unlike other video games with product placement this game takes it to a ''ridiculous'' extreme; while most of the levels have a generous amount of Pepsi logos in them, such as in the form of trucks & boxes, the last few levels take place in "Pepsi City", where EVERYTHING has the Pepsi logo on it!

Don't bother jumping and you fall down and lose a life. Press the jump button and Pepsiman... gets halfway across the gap and fails the jump anyway, although this still counts as clearing the level.
