* MultipleEndings: ''Enters the Race'' has four possible endings, depending on whether you placed first, second, third, or fourth and below. The first three has Putt-Putt receive a trophy on the winners podium, while the last has him merely receiving a ribbon.

** In ''Enters the Race'', there is a chance that a small shed will be on fire, with a pay phone conveniently right next to it. The idea was a subtle [[AnAesop Aesop]] about how dialing 911 is the first thing you should do in such a situation, but a player might easily think to just go and talk to Smokey about it. If you do, he'll turn out to be out to lunch, with a note on his door essentially telling the player exactly what to do "in case of fire."

* This is even mentioned in ''Pep's Birthday Surprise'' when Ms Goodbake became a baker because of it being in her name.

* AntiSneezeFinger: In ''Saves the Zoo'', Putt-Putt covers Pep's nose with an antenna in the middle of an avalanche zone. [[SneezeOfDoom Followed by Putt-Putt sneezing.]]

* OffModel: In ''Saves the Zoo'', Baby Jambo is animated in ways that make him look completely different in each shot, including a closeup of him standing on his hind legs that makes him look almost anthropomorphic. In the immediate shot following, he's back on all fours. This was done because the animators couldn't fit both Putt-Putt and Jambo into the same cutscene, although Jambo's mother and Putt-Putt have been seen together during the cutscenes.

* PteroSoarer: The ''Pteranodon'' in ''Travels Through Time'' is called a "pterodactyl" as usual, has only three fingers including the wing finger, and behaves [[AllFlyersAreBirds more like a bird]]. On the other wing, its coloring suggests it has a body covering of fuzz.

* AllFlyersAreBirds: Played literally in ''Travels Through Time'', where the ''[[PteroSoarer Pteranodon]]'' is perched on two legs, nesting in a tree, watching over its hatchlings (which have stubby wings), and feeding them ''worms''.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first two adventure games, as well as ''Fun Pack'', were originally made for MS-DOS, and use a more basic, pixelated artstyle, and more simplistic animations. All games from ''Saves the Zoo'' onward were made after Humongous started using fully hand-drawn animation for their games. Additionally, they are the only two adventure games in the series to lack a musical number sequence, as those were introduced starting with ''Saves the Zoo''

* TimeMachine: Mr. Firebird's time portal, which is operated via inserting nickel into [[HomemadeInventions laundry machine]], and is actually... rocket-shaped. Guess Putt-Putt doesn't have PTSD from ''Goes to the Moon''.

* AmicableAliens: In ''Goes to the Moon'', Putt-Putt meets space aliens who are all friendly.
